SATURDAY NIGHT LIGHTS
Bloomsburg returns under the lights at Danny Hale Field at Redman Stadium for Saturday's 6 p.m. matchup with East Stroudsburg. Night football has been favorable to the Huskies since Redman Stadium was renovated in 2008.

The Huskies won each of their first three night games after the renovation, defeating Ashland 10-7 in 2009, Millersville 45-10 later that season and Ashland 27-20 in 2011. Bloomsburg's lone loss under the Redman Stadium lights came against Shippensburg, 34-18, on Halloween night in 2013. The Huskies have since won three straight night games at home, defeating Shippensburg 28-24 in 2018, West Chester 21-16 in 2022 and Fairmont State 35-7 in the 2024 season opener.

Saturday will mark Bloomsburg's first home night game since the 2024 opener and its eighth at Redman Stadium since the 2008 renovation. The Huskies have outscored opponents 184-109 across the previous seven night games, an average score of 26.3-15.6.
