According to Rachel Lenzi of the Toledo Blade, Wolverines’ interim athletic director Jim Hackett said on The Huge Show in Grand Rapids, Mich. that the athletic department is working on scheduling a night game for the 2016 season.
Michigan’s first night game in its history took place in 2011 against Notre Dame. The Wolverines did not play a night game last season.
Hackett on the Huge Show, on potential UM night games: We want to have another one. We’re working on one this year.

Michigan’s 2016 home schedule includes games against: Hawaii, UCF, Colorado, Penn State, Wisconsin, Illinois, Maryland and Indiana.
Their games against Penn State and Wisconsin make the most sense, as they will be played at a stage in the season where it won’t be too cold, in addition to being Big 10 conference games.
