A Night of Football, Cars and Fireworks
Eastern Michigan University’s Eagles will welcome San José State on Friday, September 4 at 6:30 p.m. to The Factory, the home of the Eagles’ football program. The matchup marks a reunion of two programs that have met before, and it arrives as part of a broader celebration that blends sport with community tradition.
After the final whistle, the stadium will burst into color as a ten‑minute fireworks display lights the night sky above Rynearson Stadium. University officials say the show is designed to become a recurring highlight, offering a unique finale that respects local noise regulations with reduced sound levels.
The evening will also feature Cruise Night, a showcase of classic and custom automobiles that will line the stadium terraces. Participants in the car display receive game tickets and special concession packages, turning the stadium grounds into a rolling gallery of automotive enthusiasm.

Reserved single‑game tickets are priced at $25 when purchased in advance and $30 on the day of the game, available in Sections 104 through 109. General admission single tickets cost $20 ahead of time and $25 on game day. For groups of fifteen or more, the price drops to $10 per person, while value packs provide four tickets for $80 (reserved) or $60 (general admission).
Beyond the game, the event honors the university’s supporters through the Built by Eastern celebration, recognizing the contributions of fans, alumni and local partners. The combination of sport, automotive culture and visual spectacle aims to create a memorable experience for attendees of all ages.
