The Embers Opens Inside Kelly/Shorts Stadium

via CMU Chippewas

After leaving a void in the community since its doors closed in 2007, a piece of the long-time Mount Pleasant fine-dining staple The Embers has returned thanks to a partnership between Central Michigan University and former owners Clarence Tuma and his son Jeff. In recognition of the profound impact The Embers had on the community, signature items based on famous The Embers menu will be offered at the concession stands at Kelly/Shorts Stadium during home CMU football games throughout this year and the foreseeable future. "We're excited that the Tuma family was receptive to us bringing a piece of that into our stadium, and giving alumni and friends who come to our game an opportunity to think back and recall the great past and history of The Embers and their connection to it," said CMU Athletics Director Dave Heeke, who worked with the Tuma family to make the partnership happen.
