And in the 144th year of Michigan football, the U-M Board of Regents said, "let there be more light" at The Big House.
Michigan Stadium is in the process of its $41 million facelift and a team spokesman confirmed Tuesday construction remains on track to end in August, well before Saturday Sept. 2, when the Wolverines open the season against East Carolina.
The privately-funded project highlighted by larger scoreboards — they'll remain 62 feet high, but will be wider than the 108-foot version installed in 2011 — as well as new stadium lights, was originally approved by the board in the spring of 2022.
