Explosive plays might be accompanied by explosive pyrotechnics at Michigan Stadium this fall.

The Athletic Department has proposed the use of close proximity fireworks during the Sept. 13 Miami University, and Oct. 11 Penn State home games. The Penn State game has a 7 p.m. kickoff time, while the Miami start time has yet to be announced.

"To further enhance the fan experience for these important games, the department proposes to hold close proximity fireworks displays as part of the production," the proposal read.

The displays would be performed from the field and from the rooftops of the east and west towers of the stadium.

ACE Pyro has been selected to produce the shows, and has provided the university's fire marshal, athletic department, Office of Risk Management, and Department of Public Safety and Security with information about the operator, including the person's experience, the number and types of fireworks and its applicable insurance coverage.

The company has also provided the production plan including the schedule, security, safety and fire protection.

The Board of Regents will vote on the proposal at its Thursday, July 17, meeting. No cost estimate was provided.
