Are night games in the MIAA very popular? :-\

Not sure about around the league, but here it is a WILL NOT as to whether or not we will add lights and play night games.

Ran into several Hope alums while vacationing on Tybee Island this week.  We gave eachother grief about football games long past as well as AL central games (chi sox v tigers) yet to come

Good Times

Joe Wally:

That is always neat to run into alums from schools one played against.  For sure, it is too bad that Wabash and Hope don't renew their rivalry.  BTW, I agree with Raider68 - your helmet pic is nice and welcome to "The Helmet Club"! :)

Raider68 and sflzman:

Well, perhaps Alma, Kazoo don't (although I think Kazoo may be planning to put lights in), but Adrian, Olivet, Trine and Hope have lights for night games.  I think an occasional night game would be great.  When I played "many moons ago", we played a couple of night games, although one I remember for sure was at Wheaton College.  Also, Alma played a night game at Marietta College in the mid-90's.  Both were real neat experiences.

We've had some night games in lacrosse at Hope - in fact, the first two home games this season were night games.

I may be talking out both sides of my mouth here.  While I strongly support the tradition of Saturday, and ONLY Saturday being college football's day, I do favor the concept of the ocassional Saturday evening matchup.

I wonder who at the NCAA ever thought of that idea? Sure they, along with the TV networks were looking for another way to make money. Just does not fit for D3 schools, IMHO!  ::)

The sad thing is, that that is what this buisness has turned out to be driven by 100%....

Trine I beleive, has opened the last two seasons with Thursday night games. Last year's being the "Grand Opening" for the new athletics complex
