YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University Department of Athletics will open the gates to Rynearson Stadium on a Monday night in August once again this summer, but it won't be for a football game. Instead fans will be invited to throw a blanket on the gray turf and enjoy a movie inside "The Factory" on a 32-foot projector screen with surround sound.
EMU's third annual "Movie Night at The Factory" will be staged Monday, Aug. 22. Gates will open at 7:30 p.m., with the movie starting at roughly 8:30 p.m. This year's featured film is Walt Disney Animation Studios' animated hit Zootopia.
Single attendees, as well as families will be asked for a $5 donation with 100 percent of the proceeds being donated to EMU's Student Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC). All seating will be on the turf and fans are encouraged to bring blankets to sit on, while furniture of any type will be prohibited. A limited selection of items will be available for purchase from the concessions stands, however, fans will only be allowed to bring bottled water on the playing field.
In the case of inclement weather that night, the movie will be shown at an indoor location to be determined. For more information on this event, contact the EMU Athletics Marketing Department at 734.487.2696.
The Eagles open the 2016 season under the lights at "The Factory" inside Rynearson Stadium Friday, Sept. 2, versus Mississippi Valley State. Season, single-game and flex package tickets are now available for purchase at EMUEagles.com/tickets, by calling 734.487.2282 or by visiting the EMU Ticket Office daily between 8:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m.
About EMU's Student-Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC)
Eastern Michigan University's Student-Athlete Advisory Council is made up of two to three representatives from each athletic team. SAAC meets regularly throughout the academic year and provides a voice on behalf of all EMU student-athletes: they coordinate community service events, suggest professional development, raise funds, and plan special events for their peers. The group also shares opinions on the legislative process and policy that directly impacts the health, safety, and well-being of student-athletes. These opinions have the ability to impact issues at the national level, and select EMU SAAC members have the opportunity to participate on SAAC at the Mid-American Conference and NCAA levels.
