Fans who will either be in attendance at The Big House or watching the game on TV will be getting a show unlike they’ve ever seen at Michigan Stadium on Saturday night.
Michigan football will play in its first night game of the season for the Week 3 contest against Bowling Green, and it will do so in style — but not just in style of dress or play.
The Wolverines have a new feature, alongside the new stadium scoreboards, that were installed this offseason: brand new LED lights, which have the ability to change color along with other strobing effects. The effects of which indicate just how much the stadium has moved into modern times, with the likes of other programs such as Georgia and Alabama or even Nebraska and Rutgers.
The Michigan X account, formerly Twitter, released a video showcasing some of the new effects on the eve of the game. Certainly, for the first outing, the Wolverines will be looking to make a strong first impression using the new stadium feature.

If the video matches the game atmosphere, it will be something to behold. It can be used during the entrance, timeouts, after touchdowns, and assuredly other not-as-commonly thought of moments throughout the game. It should not only enhance the gameday atmosphere for fans but make Michigan Stadium that much more of a daunting environment for road teams.
