A reunion of the original team to play in the stadium, the 1965 NIU squad, will take place in the season opener against the Rebels.

Of course, Saturday, Oct. 24, is NIU’s 109^th homecoming game, with all of the festivities and pageantry that Huskie fans have come to expect. NIU will also be honoring all young football players in the area for Youth Football Day. NIU will play host to Eastern Michigan University that day with kickoff set for 2:30 p.m.

All fans are encouraged to wear black and bring a canned food item to the game for NIU’s Student-Athlete Advisory Council’s canned food drive that night.
