Rutgers University Marching Band Perform Prior To Football Game Vs. Northwestern, 2023 Editorial Photo

The Rutgers University Marching Band performs in formation prior to the start of the NCAA Division I FBS encounter between the Scarlet Knights and their Big Ten Conference rival,The Northwestern University Wildcats. The band can be seen simultaneously on a jumbotron screen. The game was played at SHI Stadium in Piscataway, New Jersey, on September 3, 2023. It became a very hot afternoon, with the mercury reaching 90 degrees in the central New Jersey venue. Since the game was nationally televised on the CBS Television Network, commercial breaks were frequent and lengthy, giving both teams opportunities to re-hydrate their players. This shaded vantage point is part of the Provident Bank Stadium Club, an oasis on such a sweltering day. Rutgers won the gridiron affair, 24-7.
