Midnight Madness marked the start of the 2024 Wolverine season when they hit the field at 12:01 a.m. Monday, Aug. 29, the first official practice day for the upcoming season.
The early morning practice also gave the Wolverines an opportunity to show off the new LED lights that were installed this summer.
A few diehard fans were on hand to watch the Wolverines go through their first practice for the upcoming season with near perfect conditions on the perfectly manicured field.
