Corey Hart has both nothing and everything to do with the anticipated atmosphere Friday night at Nippert Stadium.
The Canadian singer found stardom with the release of his 1984 single, "Sunglasses at Night." On Friday, the first 2,000 fans who enter Nippert will receive a free pair of sunglasses to wear at night when the No. 5/6-ranked (Associated Press/Coaches) University of Cincinnati football team opens American Athletic Conference play against Temple in prime time.
"We're excited," Cincinnati senior quarterback Desmond Ridder said. "We're excited to get back home. It feels like it's been forever since we've played in Nippert. We're excited to get back in front of all the fans, all the students, and just make it a crazy atmosphere."
The sold-out crowd is encouraged to wear all black to match the all-black uniforms the Bearcats (4-0) will wear for the first "Nipp at Night" game of the season.
