Ann Arbor, MI (My Sportsbook) - The University of Michigan announced Thursday it will host its first-ever primetime game on September 10, 2011 against rival Notre Dame. "This will be an unprecedented game day atmosphere that our fans have not experienced at Michigan Stadium," said Michigan athletic director Dave Brandon. "It's a great opportunity to showcase our program, university and Ann Arbor to a primetime viewing audience. This also adds a new chapter to the storied rivalry between our two great programs." The two programs previously played three night games, though each of those occurred at Notre Dame Stadium. The Wolverines have a 21-15-1 record all-time against the Fighting Irish and are 11-7 against them at Michigan Stadium. |
