YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – With summer in full swing, Eastern Michigan University football fans have just a few weeks to secure their season tickets before the initial print of the ticket sheets. These state of the art ticket sheets depict the helmets that will be worn throughout the season. The contests are all against Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) opponents for the first time since 2000, and it is just the fourth occurrence overall at EMU. In addition to the ticket sheet, there will be special theme games this season at "The Factory" at Rynearson Stadium and a special offer from Qdoba on the back of each season ticket.

This season, Eastern Michigan will theme every one of its home contests, beginning with "A Tribute to a Legacy" presented by EMU Financial on opening day at Rynearson Stadium. EMU Athletics will honor the legacy of Hall of Fame cross country and track and field coach Bob Parks by inviting all former cross country and track and field student-athletes, their families and friends of the program to a reunion celebration at the opening football game Saturday, Sept. 5, versus Old Dominion. The football team will be sporting special uniforms that will incorporate the color yellow which has a rich significance in EMU men's cross country and track and field history.

The Sept. 19 contest against Ball State will feature local high school bands in attendance, performing as one during a special halftime concert. The E-Club Alumni Chapter, the official varsity athletic letterwinners club, will induct seven new members into the Athletic Hall of Fame this weekend. Members of the 40th class that will be enshrined will be released at a later date this summer.

Eastern will take on Army West Point, Saturday, Sept. 26, in Ypsilanti. The contest with the Knights will be known as the "Heroes Game". The Heroes Game is presented by Trinity Transportation and will honor the Washtenaw 100, which is a 40-year old organization of area business and government leaders whose mission is to support the families of active police officers and fire fighters who serve within Washtenaw County. The game will also honor all of those who have actively fought to protect and bring peace and prosperity to the United States of America. This special game will feature another unique uniform for the EMU football team to wear. The commemorative game worn jerseys will be made available for purchase and all of the proceeds of the jersey sales will be donated to the Washtenaw 100.

The EMU-Akron game Saturday, Oct. 10, will be Homecoming 2015 for the Eagles. It marks the 95th all-time homecoming celebration in Ypsilanti which originally began as Gala Day in 1920. The festivities were combined with a football game in 1926 when then-Michigan Normal College downed Kalamazoo College, 19-0. This season's homecoming game will be sponsored by EMU Financial.

A Thursday, Oct. 29, contest "under the lights" then awaits EMU against in-state rival Western Michigan. The game is brought to fans by The Lake Shore Apartments and will be the Eagles the first game since 2007 that will be nationally televised in a mid-week showcase game at "The Factory" at Rynearson Stadium.

Rounding out the home lineup is a contest against the University of Massachusetts, Nov. 14. EMU will honor its senior class as well as holding a fan appreciation event.

An updated release of the MAC 2015 football schedule was released on Wednesday, June 10, with kick times and a television schedule for the first three weeks of the regular season and midweek games during October and November. All other game kick times and television will be announced 12 days prior to the scheduled game.
