Penn at Night

Surprisingly, perhaps, Penn blinked. After holding off for quite some time, the Quakers have agreed to play Dartmouth in the first night football game in school history starting at 6 p.m. on Oct. 1. Find a Dartmouth story here.

A quote from Athletic Director Harry Sheehy:

"This will be a terrific event for the football program, the athletics department, the college and the community. For this historic game to come against the two-time defending Ivy champions will certainly add to the excitement surrounding the event."

You can now pencil the opener against Colgate in as a 1:30 kickoff.

Oh, and in case you are wondering, sunset in Hanover on Oct. 1, 2011 is ... 6:31.
