YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – For the first time since the 2019 regular season, the gates at Rynearson Stadium were opened to the public today, April 16, for the Eastern Michigan University football team's 2021 Open Practice.

The event, held in place of the program's annual Spring Football Game, saw the Green and White take to the gray turf of "The Factory," for a scrimmage-like competition that pitted the offensive and defensive units against each other for approximately 75 plays. The special teams units got plenty of time in the spotlight as well, as numerous kicking and punting situations were employed for fan entertainment between the sets of plays.
