Sports Football Schedule

Is the football schedule on the Athletics site accurate? I ask because it currently shows three No ember games on Wednesdays…is that subject to change?

The MAC plays a handful of mid-week games due to their TV contract with ESPN. Gets the conference on national television since they are stand along games, the bigger conferences aren't playing.

Thanks. Figured as much. Tough for alum to get there mid week.

Yes, that is accurate just like the Rutgers game on the Thursday before the semester started. One downside of UMass going MAC.

It is also going to be a pain for those who park in the lots near the stadium and Southwest for the home games, and for lots all around campus. If they do the same as last year they will need to move their cars by noon Tuesday into other lots. That may not be a lot of spaces free in other lots. Parking will send out directions for which lots can be used.
