YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University football program will hold its annual Youth Day Saturday, Aug. 9, from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. inside Rynearson Stadium. The opportunity is designed for youth to connect with members of the 2025 football team while also being able to participate in drills.
The team will go through a busy Saturday schedule at "The Factory". EMU will practice in the morning before hosting Youth Day which is designed for children in kindergarten through sixth grade. The event is open to the public and there is no admission charge. Please register in advance at https://emufootballcamps.totalcamps.com/shop/EVENT.
Kids will have the opportunity to come down onto the gray turf and experience the joy of running around in a safe, fun environment, while learning a few things about the game of football. EMU players will be interacting and encouraging their new friends throughout the event.
Youth Day is an event that was introduced by Head Coach Chris Creighton back in 1997 when he first arrived at Ottawa University. Its purpose is to give area children an opportunity to visit with the Eagles' student-athletes while enjoying football-related fun and games.
With a season full of unforgettable experiences on the horizon, EMU has made it easier than ever for fans to be part of the action. Season ticket packages are available now and offer significant savings, priority seating, exclusive gifts, and special perks.
For fans looking for the ultimate experience, the Ultimate Fan Season Ticket package includes premium chairback seating on the 50-yard line and VIP season parking—an added $90 value—for just $180. Reserved season tickets are available for $135, offering excellent sideline views, while general admission season tickets start at only $108, making it one of the most affordable family entertainment options in Southeast Michigan.
Young alumni, EMU faculty and staff, and supporters of the Pride of the Peninsula Marching Band will also find ticket packages designed just for them. The Pride of the Peninsula ticket package includes a $30 donation to the band and provides access to every home game for only $170. For alumni bringing the whole crew, the Alumni Season Value Pack delivers four reserved seats per game for just $360.
Fans can add VIP parking in the George Gervin GameAbove Center lot for just $90, giving them even more convenience on game days. Former EMU student-athletes can also purchase an E-Club Membership for $200, which includes season tickets to football, men's basketball, and women's basketball home games.
The 2025 schedule is packed with storylines, including matchups against eight teams that reached bowl games in 2024 and five home opponents that earned postseason bids. With eleven Saturday contests and one electrifying Tuesday night showdown, there are plenty of opportunities for fans to make EMU Football part of their fall traditions.
Families, friends, and fans from across the region are invited to join the Eagles at The Factory for a season full of heart-pounding action, meaningful celebrations, and community-focused fun. Whether you're coming for the halftime show, the themed festivities, or the hard-hitting football, EMU promises an experience that's as rewarding as it is affordable.
