Fans watch as the Huskies beat Ball State 59-41 on Oct. 10 at Huskie Stadium. The game was one of six games part of the Mission 6 initiative presented by NIU Athletics. The initiative, which made students eligible for free tuition for the spring 2016 semester if they attended and stayed at every home football game, was declared unsuccessful as the goal to have at least 6,000 NIU students at each game was not accomplished.
