Michigan Stadium

Michigan


If you happen to arrive on a fall Saturday and wonder why 110,000 people – almost the size of Ann Arbor's entire population – are crowding into the stadium at the University of Michigan, the answer is football. Tickets are nearly impossible to purchase, but it's always fun to drop by and partake of the raucous game-day scene.
