New athletic director David Brandon announced today that the Michigan football team will be making history on Sept. 10th of 2011.
The Wolverines will take the field at 8 P.M. Eastern Time to take on rival Notre Dame in the first-ever primetime football game played at the Big House.
"This will be an unprecedented game day atmosphere that our fans have not experienced at Michigan Stadium," Brandon said in a statement. "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 last time the two teams met in primetime was in 1990, but that matchup was in South Bend. Notre Dame is 3-0 in night games against the Wolverines.
