YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) -- Football and cars are part of Michigan's DNA, and Eastern Michigan University Athletics is giving fans the perfect way to celebrate both. On Saturday, Oct. 11, Rynearson Stadium will host the Fourth Annual Car Show Football Game, a full-day event that starts with horsepower and ends with hard-hitting Mid-American Conference football.
The celebration begins at 10 a.m., when the stadium terraces turn into a showcase of classic and custom cars. From muscle cars to timeless rides, fans will walk among some of the best vehicles Southeast Michigan has to offer. The display creates a one-of-a-kind atmosphere that leads directly into kickoff at 1 p.m. against Northern Illinois.
Participation in the car show comes with more than a prime spot. Each registration includes both a game ticket and a concession package, providing the ultimate game-day bundle. Fans can enjoy the sights of chrome and horsepower, grab their concessions, and then head inside to back the Eagles on the field.
Head Coach Chris Creighton wants fans to be there for both parts of the day. "We get awesome cars, and people can come and enjoy a car show and then a great football game," he said.
The game is also part of Legends and Classics Day, alongside the car show and football. EMU will honor its past with the induction of the 2025 Hall of Fame class, recognizing standout athletes and longtime contributors who helped shape Eastern athletics. It is a chance to celebrate history while making new memories.
This weekend delivers everything: tradition, family-friendly fun, and the energy of MAC football. Whether you come for the cars, the Hall of Fame ceremony, or the game itself, you will leave with an experience that belongs only to Eastern.
Tickets are on sale now. Fans are encouraged to purchase early to guarantee their spot at one of the season's marquee events. Visit EMUEagles.com/Tickets, call 734.487.3669, or stop by the EMU Ticket Office.
