  • On 11/27/21 one of the greatest moments happened in Michigan stadium history. The Wolverines snapped a decade long drought against BRUTUS and ended a 20 plus consecutive win streak against Big Ten opponents. The offense and defense were absolutely dominant and it finally showed. But what made this day so amazing was the fans and the snow, absolutely the loudest I've ever heard and I've been going since October 23,1993. Seeing everyone running on the field is something that NO ONE WILL EVER FORGET!...... I know I won't because I was there and I got on the field to celebrate with the Wolverines and the fans. As a matter of fact, I had a short conversation with McNamara #12 our starting QB. Simply said, Remember this moment for the rest of your life! You guys deserve this!......GO BLUE.

    why does this video just cut off at the end. there should be more.
  • Up until the late 1970s the stadium was open to the public access during the weekdays and you could be on the field. Did it once when a UofM literary professor we knew named WEB Brition advised us to go down to the stadium and have some fun out on the field. When we arrived there already were numerous families playing mini football games, passing the football, kids running pass patterns, or people strolling around or sitting in the stands. You could run around until dusk started setting in (no lights back then). Great memories.
  • LOVED going to football games there. Tolerated college, but loved going to the games. NOW WHERE'S THE REST?

    Enjoyed our visit to Michigan Stadium in 2019 with Army, I had Media pass and after post game walked the length of the tunnel to the field then walked from field to top row, 74 rows I recall.

    i was at a game a few weeks ago on a colder night. where it was probably only upper 30s, but sat in the 30th row. it actaully didn't feel that cold though. i believe because the first 60 rows are all ground level or below, i believe the ground around the stadium kept it feeling warmer

    What a cliffhanger you left us on lol

    My Uncle was involved in the Stadium somehow. I’m not sure if he owned some land or what but he had lifetime 50 yard line tickets. He took me there when I was young, 9-10 years old or so. He was a farrier.

    Any of the old stadia photos with the goalposts on the goal line were from 1926 or before. Colleges moved them to the back of the end zone in 1927.
