McLane after dark: Students stoked for Baylor football ‘blackout’ game

By Michael Haag | Sports Editor

Baylor football will be running into the dark this weekend.

The Bears will host No. 19 Kansas State University for a 6 p.m. contest Saturday at McLane Stadium. It marks the first Big 12 night game Baylor has played at home since Nov. 29, 2020 against the Wildcats. Nov. 16, 2019 saw the last nighttime matchup that featured a full-capacity McLane Stadium.

Ahead of this weekend’s game, a student-led Twitter account, @blackout_McLane, started a “blackout” movement for the fanbase. The idea was similar to the “Go Gold” campaign that Baylor Athletics started.
