Night games bring out the best in our crowd

5-1 in home night games now, and even last year in the bad offensive showjng the crowd was awesome. I may be slightly drunk still, but just saying. Being at the games it's like night and day (haha). Very loud and very into it. Please make Penn State one too. 

Also the music guy deserves a raise for playing jump around at the end.

We were in Section Three and we stood for the majority of the play. Oddly enough, everytime we yelled really loud, it would force a false start, a sack, or a turnover; like it always should! I was part of Under the Lights II (record breaking crowd), and this was right up there for gameday experience!

I finally arrived home at 3:15 am and, though I should be tired, had no trouble staying awake for the 2 1/2 drive.  I think I was still feeding off the energy of the entire evening.

  What a game!  What a crowd!

Maybe a Blue out for the next night game. Honestly the dark colors at night looked quite ominous and cool

I was there. Seemed loud to me and as good as crowds I’ve seen at games anywhere other than a Bama-LSU night game (at Bama). That crowd was off the charts loud and into the game which turned into a blowout. 

I think everyone spends to much time complaining about the “quiet” Michigan crowd. I went to Iowa at wisconsin last year and was surprised, despite all I had heard, how “quiet” the Wisconsin crowd was. 

Mivhigan may not be the loudest crowd but it does well. Enjoy the win...

I've always been a fan of home night games. There's just an electric atmosphere...and I dont care who we are talking about (Michigan or any other school). Players get amped for games like this and any advantage that it brings, is a great one. Might not be the best idea for games deep in the season due to weather, but it's clear The Big House gets louder at night games. I know Harbaugh doesn't like them, but he needs to get over it.

Can't believe nobody's mentioned it...

We played a real team.  It's a lot easier to get excited for top 15 Wisconsin than WMU or SMU or whatever.

But, yeah, I'm a big fan of 7:30p games.

I have been attending Michigan games since the early '80s. This was my first night game. It's a COMPLETLY different enviroment. 

Not just in the stadium but on campus leading up to the game as well.  There was a buzz everywhere all day.

Having attended Penn State night games, I can say we do night games very well, as well as anybody.  

It's time to stop hiding from them.
