The Nevada-Reno football team will play home night games this year for the first time in the football program's 104-year history. Lights are being installed at Mackay Stadium on the UNR campus.
Athletic Director Chris Ault said he hopes the move will increase attendance and aid the possibility of regional or national television coverage. The first night game will be the Aug. 30 season opener against Southern Utah.
The Wolf Pack will also play under the lights Sept. 27 when they host Southern Methodist and Oct. 4 against state rival UNLV.
