Central Michigan University: Kelly/Shorts Stadium

Truth be told, Central Michigan University is a bit of a third wheel when it comes to college football in Michigan. With the University of Michigan and Michigan State University also providing football entertainment in the area, it’s a bit of an uneven three-way split on attracting people to games.

This is one viable excuse for why the Kelly/Shorts Stadium hasn’t been attracting capacity crowds. But there have also been safety concerns, especially about using the steep stairs with no railings. There is also no backup power, as was proven when a match needed to be halted in November 2020 after the power went out in the area.
