UNH Night Game Confirmed

The University of New Hampshire has announced game times and the Sept. 27 game against Dartmouth will indeed be the first-ever home night game at Cowell Stadium. Kickoff is set for 6 p.m. LINK

In case you were wondering, sunset in Durham on Sept. 27 is 6:31 p.m. according to the Old Farmer's Almanac ;-)

The game is being promoted as State of New Hampshire Day by UNH.

UNH has been installing lights as an early phase of its stadium renovation project. Find photos of the light installation HERE and renderings of the entire project that is tentatively slated to be completed late next year HERE.

With the announcement of the UNH start time the Big Green will play its first two games under the lights. The Big Green opens the season Sept. 20 against Central Connecticut at 7 p.m. on Memorial Field. All other games are in the afternoon barring a change for TV purposes. (No word yet on potential TV games.)
