YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University football team was joined by roughly 100 of its youngest fans following its practice at "The Factory", Saturday, Aug. 11, as the Eagles hosted their fifth annual Youth Day.

Kids were given a chance to interact and gain lasting memories with the student-athletes through player-run drills held down on the "EMU Gray Turf".

The morning began with the team's regularly scheduled scrimmage, which included two-minute drills, goal line scenarios, and special teams drills. The duration of the scrimmage lasted a little over an hour before the Eagles invited the young EMU football fans down to the field to enjoy the spotlight.
