GROVE CITY, Pa. – This year, the Wolverines will take the field under the lights on Sept. 26, as they face the Presidents of conference rival Washington & Jefferson College. Kick off is at 7 p.m. at Robert E. Thorn Field.

For this game, the Wolverine Marching Band bleacher section will be located in the end zone in front of Phillips Field House to make room for a special student section in the stands. Students are again organizing a “White Out” T-shirt campaign to show school spirit.
 
The public is invited to attend the night’s festivities, which begin with pre-game at 6:30 p.m. There is no admission charge and no tickets are necessary for this special event. A short fireworks display by Zambelli Internationale of New Castle will cap off the game.

In case of rain, the fireworks display will be used the following weekend during Homecoming festivities.

The College added lights to Thorn Field three years ago as part of the facility’s renovation. The lights have allowed the College to open Thorn Field to the campus community for recreational use each evening in the fall and spring.

In 2008, the Wolverines won a high-scoring 41-35 game against Bethany College in the night game.
