Planning

How to plan the trip

The order that saves the most money and the most stress.

  • Lock the date first. Kickoff windows move, dates rarely do.
  • Book refundable lodging before buying tickets, because rooms sell out faster than seats.
  • Compare seat locations, not just price. Shade, wind and aisle access matter more than a few rows.
  • Confirm the venue bag policy and payment rules before you leave the hotel.
  • Plan the exit. Rideshare pickup zones are usually several blocks from the gates.

The venue

Michigan Stadium

Capacity 107,601Opened 1927Ann Arbor, Michigan

The largest stadium in the country, built down into the ground so the scale only registers once you are inside.

  • Golf course and lawn parking near the stadium is cash-only and fills early.
  • Walk ten minutes out before requesting a rideshare; the immediate blocks are closed after games.
  • Rows are long and aisles are few. Get to your seat before kickoff.
