Michigan-Michigan State football will play at night Oct. 7 in Ann Arbor

Michigan and Michigan State will play under the lights in Ann Arbor.

Michigan's Oct. 7 home game against rival Michigan State will kick at 7:30 p.m. and be televised on ABC.

It'll be the first night game between the Wolverines and Spartans at Michigan Stadium and the fourth home night game in Michigan history. Michigan has hosted Notre Dame (2011, 2013) at night twice and Penn State (2014) once.

Last month, Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel said the athletic department had been preparing for possible home night games against both Michigan State and Minnesota.

Michigan will open its parking lots at noon on Oct.
