YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – Close your eyes, and imagine yourself in a stadium. Breathe in, and instantly your senses are aroused by the sweet aromas of popcorn, cotton candy, or perhaps a grilled dog. Now the carbonated bite of a freshly poured cola instantly provides a moment of divine serenity and escape from the hot, soon-to-be fall sun.
As the clock winds towards kickoff, the anticipation grows, as does the speed of the hearts of nearly every fan inside the venue; fans who live vastly different lives, but that feel like family for 12 Saturdays every year.
