It's been approx. 45 years since my first visit, and 15 since my first review. That makes me sound old, I know. I still love my school and the team, and much of what I wrote in 2010 still holds true. What prompts me to write today is my experience in this second season of alcohol sales, sitting directly behind a group of guys who drank themselves to silly, then to obnoxious. The one directly in front of me tipped his head so far back each guzzle that I'll have a memory of looking down his nostrils for a while to come. I spent a good portion of the second half bracing myself for one of their group to fall backwards into my group, which eventually did happen. Yes, I could have texted security, but I really wanted to focus on the game, to the extent that I could, and addressing this problem just felt like more work. When the game was over, and I looked around, the amount of trash was the greatest I've seen at any game. I tried to imagine the clean-up crew with shovels, brooms, trash cans, and wondered if they really anticipated this much. It's only a little exaggeration to say that I felt like the cathedral of college football was being desecrated. Thanks, Michigan Board of Regents, for approving a liquor license for activity better left to tailgate parties, and gave me my worst fan experience here ever. read more

My wife brought me to a Michigan game two years ago as a present. Let me tell you, I've been in a lot of stadiums, but being around 110,000 plus fan is ELECTRIC. Atmosphere was phenomenal, crowd was great, food and drinks were your typical stadium pricing, but overall a great experience. We ubered to the game from our hotel to avoid traffic and parking. The amount of vendors outside the stadium was unreal too. So many pop up shops. I will say though, good luck getting online on your phone while being around that many people, we had to walk almost a mile away from the stadium to connect with uber. I would do this experience 100 times out of 100. Best football game of my life even though Michigan lost lol. read more

We were driving around Ann Arbor and stumbled upon Michigan Stadium. It was built in 1927 for $950,000. It has been through numerous additions and renovations. The original seating capacity was 84,401. Today it seats 107,901. I was just happy to get a pic of The Big House. This place is iconic for college football. This place is gigantic. It spans a whole block. read more

"An Unforgettable Experience at The Big House!" If you're a college football fan, attending a game at The Big House--Michigan Stadium--is an experience like no other. Located in the heart of Ann Arbor, Michigan, this iconic stadium is a true fortress of college football, and I can honestly say it lived up to every bit of the hype. First off, the sheer size of the stadium is mind-blowing. With a seating capacity of over 110,000, The Big House lives up to its reputation as the largest stadium in the United States. As soon as you walk through the gates, you can feel the history, tradition, and excitement in the air. The atmosphere is electric, with fans wearing maize and blue and cheering for their Michigan Wolverines with unmatched passion. The energy is contagious, and it's clear that this is more than just a game--it's an event that brings people together in a way that only college football can. The facilities are top-notch, with plenty of concessions, clean restrooms, and helpful staff. The food options are diverse, offering everything from classic stadium snacks like hot dogs and pretzels to more Michigan-centric fare like Coney Dogs and funnel cakes. The lines can get long during peak times, but with such a massive crowd, it's expected. Beyond the game, the tailgating scene is a major highlight. Fans gather in the parking lots and streets surrounding the stadium, grilling, socializing, and getting ready for the big game. The sense of camaraderie and pride is evident, and it's the perfect way to get hyped up before heading inside. The Michigan Wolverines play with such heart and determination, and the crowd's energy amplifies that spirit. From the pre-game traditions--like the Michigan Marching Band and the iconic Go Blue! chant--to the sound of the crowd roaring with every touchdown, the experience is nothing short of magical. Overall, watching a game at The Big House is a must for any college football fan, or even anyone who just wants to experience one of the most iconic sports venues in the country. The combination of passionate fans, rich history, and the electric atmosphere make it a bucket-list experience. It's a place where memories are made, and where every fan feels like they're part of something much bigger than the game itself. read more

This was my first time in the big house. And it did not disappoint. There were tons of locations to purchase drinks and concessions as well as multiple locations to purchase souvenirs. The place was super clean and open so that moving around was never a problem even with 110,000 people in the stands. Seating was comfortable and seats were wide enough to sit in without being super crowded. The game was great and the crowd was a lot of fun and very respectful of each other. This stadium looks a lot like Notre Dame Stadium just bigger, especially before Notre Dame's recent renovations. Prices for food were high as expected in any situation like this, but it was easy to get to, and we never waited in lines, even though they had a full house. There were a number of activities going on around the stadium as we walked around inside the fences, as well as tons and tons of tailgating all over the place both paid tailgating and personal tailgates. This was a great game day experience with the band, cheerleaders, dance teams, frisbee dog, and all types of other things that just made it a lot of fun and a great Saturday afternoon. read more

Absolutely terrible! If I could give it zero stars I would. They had terrible food and I paid good money for the ticket but they lost against Ohio State and played horribly. The food made me throw up in the bathroom and don't get me started on the people there! They we yelling all over and the stadium was so dirty with food all over the place. Probably because the food was so bad. The bathroom had poop all over the walls and there was some on the floor too. I have never been to such a terrible stadium. Do better Michigan. read more

Elite program with an elite marching band and devoted fans. Great place to see a game even if you are not a Blue homer. Great views from most seat locations. A couple of small gripes. No beer is a miss. The food situation is suboptimal. There could be more or larger bathrooms as well. The lines were super long even for men. read more

I was fortunate enough to fulfill a life long dream and visit the Big House this past Friday. I've been a Wolverines fan since I was 5 years old and got to make the journey across the country for a stadium tour. Kayla was extremely professional and helpful in getting my tour booked. Bob (and Bob 2 in training) lead my tour and WOW was it a great time. They were informative, entertaining and made the opportunity a positive lifetime memory. Thanks so much to everyone involved with the Michigan program. I will never forget being able to tour the locker room and be out on the field. read more

Best college football stadium in America! Nothing can compare to walking out of the tunnel!

Didn't go here, but a big fan UM fan as my daughter does. An amazing place with great pregame and game atmosphere and of course the noise and energy from 100K. Why the three stars, OMG the vending for food is so bad. Restrooms and MDen is great, food and drink are sorry and incapable of providing the same food and drink experience for such a large crowd should deserve read more

Whether you like the team or not (Go Blue!), this is a place you MUST visit! All my life I'd been saying I needed to make it there. The perfect opportunity arrived as my wife's favorite team was in town. I've NEVER seen tailgating like this. The stadium has 100,000+ in attendance. There may have been over 200,000 tailgating. Hearing the roar of the crowd and the passion in the stadium was very moving. It also helped that we took the "W!" The facility and surrounding area is beautiful. The food was good. If I lived here full time I'd look to get season tickets. read more

Simply the worst experience for visiting for the first time. Oregon Ducks 38 vs Michigan 17 SAT 11/02/24. Section 15. Upper rows. Cell Service was terrible due to double the city population for the game. Maybe place some Starlink around the stadium and charge for this service. We were lucky where our seats were located Section 15 close to restrooms 2 ladies and 2 mens. Be aware that there are 2 below the current restrooms with 3 times the stalls. Pre purchase $70 parking at Pioneer High School across the street from the stadium or park at the Michigan Golf Course $60. Easy to get food drink etc. it does come with at price but it is to be expected. If you purchase tickets review where the restooms are located prior to purchase, also there are 96 rows of seats. If you enter from the West side row 72 is where you walk into the stadium, plan accordingly if you do not want to walk a lot. 99% of the stadium is bench seating, the locations are too small if there is 1 person with a wide body (bottom) if not several wide bodies in the row. This compounds the ability to enjoy the game with the people behind constantly kneeing and kicking your back Section 15 Row 79 & Row 81. Those fans had to remind us that they were 'season ticket holders' and this is how it is in the 'Big House'. Oregon beat Michigan soundly 38-17, but the comments to get a rise out of us Duck fans were unfit to put on this review. The thing that is really sad there were a lot of Michigan kids with these fans with their unruly comments. It seemed like this is normal for this section 15 of the stadium. Is this how they pass on their season ticket legacy? I do have to admit that there were 4 Michigan Season ticket holders that took a stand against the rude behavior. Both rows 79 & 81 were shamed into leaving by the 4th quarter when the Ducks had the game in hand. Win or lose life goes on we we should all depart Civilly. Lordy the Staff at the Michigan Golf course gave us some in's/out's to have a better enjoyment of our first time to the Big House. No ill will if we were Duck fans. Sad Sad Sad if this is how 2023 National Champs conduct themselves. Change the Big House to the Home of Sore Losers. read more

Amazing place!! Saw a great game between Michigan and Indiana yesterday. Nothing like being with 110,000 other people, all screaming. We were in the Endzone in row three.Row three is actually about row five, but it's very close to the field where you can see the action. I guess there's actually a row one, 1A 1B. Don't ask me - I don't fully understand it. The seats, as in the entire stadium, are very close together. Your seat number is painted on the bench. Bring something to sit on! Somehow it always seems like there are more people in the row then there are seat numbers. Or perhaps everyone is a bit wider than the seat numbers. Either way, you will get close and friendly with the people by you. Check it out! read more

Out of the approximately two dozen stadiums college football stadiums I have visited, Michigan Stadium on a Saturday night during a "Maize Out" definitely stands out as one of the greatest college football experiences I have ever experienced... and this is coming from someone who went to Alabama and Texas. The Big House is the largest venue in college football, but that is only one element of the experience that makes it great. The grounds are incredibly clean for a football stadium, the crowd actually stays excited throughout much of the festivities, the halftime show was absolutely nuts (granted, this was a special one due to it occurring on 9/11, but it was better than any other college halftime I've ever attended by a long shot), and the view from pretty much every seat is quite good given that seating feels more like a race track than a colosseum so to speak. I still think SEC tailgates may be king, and I was definitely not too impressed with a trip to Ohio Stadium about a decade ago (2005 vs Texas), but this trip to the Big House made me re-think whether Big 10 stadiums and games hold up against the SEC and Texas/Oklahoma games I had seen in the past. Perhaps I might need to prioritize Camp Randall and Happy Valley as I continue my stadium tour across America. Bottom line is easily in the upper echelon of college football stadium experiences and very well could be the best in the entire country in that regard. read more

The BIGGEST football stadium in the entire world! (How can you not give it 5 Stars?) Go Blue 〽

My first time in the big house & also first exposure to the fervor that are U of M fans. I experience U of M enthusiasm lightly at work, but when it's with 110,000 Michigan fans, it was almost electric! The fans are SO interactive and into it - it's just a fun experience! I was 1 of the 10 Hoosier fans in the stadium, but I didn't really feel unsafe until some dirty playing went on (yikes, sorry on behalf of IU!) then it became like mob mentality with people chanting to "kick him out" or boo'ing. Maybe it was just because of the sheer number of people! But, that part was a littttttle scary. Besides that, it was a great experience! The stadium is HUGE. We purchased tickets on stubhub from a season pass holder so we had comfy cushions to sit on! That was definitely clutch. I was impressed that they had a Fuku (David Chang) there. I had the fuku popcorn ($6) seasoned with jalapeno and ranch. It was more buttery than anything but I did get a bit of the jalapeno kick! My friends enjoyed the Spicy Fried Chicken Sandwich thoroughly ($13 but served with fries). 296/365 read more

Michigan Stadium is the largest stadium (capacity wise) in the country and they seat nearly 110,000 folks. I came here when I was a kid for UofM football games with my alumni aunt and had very fond memories of those times but hadn't been in decades, and definitely not since the expansion to that capacity. So when we came for the Manchester United/Liverpool soccer game earlier this summer I didn't quite know what to expect. As someone who now lives in Ann Arbor, I stay away from the stadium during game days so I went with very few expectations other than trepidation over the crowd size and traffic. It's wild! HUGE, packed, and overwhelming. I'm not the biggest fan of crowds so the fact that the stadium was almost at capacity gave me a bit of anxiety, but everything moved swiftly and for the most part the crowd was pretty polite. The energy was infectious tho, and watching the match was thrilling. You're not here for comfort, tho. The bleachers are tight and there isn't a whole lot of legroom. I had a headache by the end of the match because I was SO close to the guy in front of me and his overwhelming cologne. But it was still a blast! We had so much fun as a family checking out the soccer game together. Our seats had a great view of the field and the big screens helped us make out the details we couldn't see. I would definitely come back for a football game if the opportunity presented itself. My major gripe was that they didn't allow bags into the game. Not sure if this is a regular Michigan Stadium thing or just the soccer game thing but no where on our tickets or any of the emails we received stated this so of course we each had small bags with us (cross-bodies and/or fanny packs, nothing huge!) that we had to wait in line to check. The good news is that the checking process was free and efficient (both drop off and pick up) the bad news is that it was just a pain in the ass to have to do in the first place. Oh well. Also getting out of there was insane. Traffic was terrible. We ended up just walking home the 2 miles back to our house bc it was faster than any Lyft/bus/etc would have been. read more

Nothing beats the BIG HOUSE! Great food, great fans, great football team. It would get six stars if it starts serving beer though. #GoBlue!

Terrible. Security is so low. Stadium was awful. Do not recommend. Horrible place. Would not come back.

Michigan is made up of History. Tradition. And, Legend. There are few comparisons when it comes to awe-inspiring sports venues. Michigan Stadium boasts the largest crowds in the country, and second largest in the world. To experience the thunderous roar and enthusiasm on game day is truly a spectacular experience. For those Michigan Football enthusiasts, you can experience the thrill of the gridiron by scheduling a guided stadium tour at MGoBlue.com. Although listed as a 90 minute tour, the tour actually lasted for 2.5 hours. Led by a knowledgable guide, you will have your fill of football history, as you tour the press area, media broadcast areas, private suites, and finally the locker room and field. The tour is priced at $100 if less that 7 in the group, or $15 per person, whichever is higher. Hail! Go Blue! #harbaughnation read more

I love Michigan stadium the atmosphere I'd infectious it's always a great time. But... if you have food allergies I sure you eat before you arrive. Their gf selections are few and far between, even their nachos are not gf, I'm guessing the corn chips they use have wheat and forget the tacos, they use flour tortillas. I ended up having French fries and iced cream for dinner... a kids dream lol. read more

I can't believe I've never wrote a Yelp review for Michigan Stadium ... that's crazy. Before I start this review, I'm probably extremely biased: I'm a UM grad who used to have season tickets for football. I graduated in the Big House as well. I went here this weekend for the UM-Wisconsin game with a football newbie who had never been to a game there, and he admitted that it's a pretty awesome venue. PROS: -Huge venue, so lots of bathrooms, concessions stands, etc. -Even THOUGH it's a huge venue, it weirdly feels intimate. Maybe because there's no tiers? Not sure. Regardless, I always love seeing games here. CONS: -Huge venue, so it takes a while to find an entrance (there are multiple) and then find your section. If you haven't been to a game at the Big House: do it. It's a bucket list thing. read more

$24 for a drink i had to make myself and a cold hotdog. unbelievable. and i can't even take it on the field. Crazy.

It is awe inspiring here. It's The Big House and if you were not a fan of U of M coming in, you should be by the time you leave. Particularly if you watch a game when we beat Ohio State :). There are constant improvements going on at the stadium. Best in the last couple of seasons is the handicapped accessibility seating. Michigan stadium has gone above and beyond in making their disabled fans comfortable, including with parking and even golf cart shuttles. Bonus. I love to see this as my husband needs it and it's the right thing to do. I know we met a lot of grateful fans in the lot and on our way in, some of whom had not been able to attend games in the past. Food is typical stadium fare, it's definitely not the big attraction. Tailgate with friends before the game if you can. Make friends with other tailgaters and make trades. Some nice lady gave us some awesome cookies this time around, just because. Honestly the whole experience is a lot of fun. Fans are generally friendly and full of spirit. You definitely will get swept up in the magic here. So much better in person. read more

My daughter and son in law took Sara and I on the football stadium tour. We met up with Roger was a great guy and did a good job showing us around and answered questions we asked. The press box and areas in the tower were amazing. We then went down on the field and into the locker rooms. The Michigan locker was great. The woodwork and the designs were top notch. We visited the guest locker room and it was plain like a high school locker room. The tour was great with everything we saw, the answers we received and people we met.

The Big House is huge from the outside. Before you enter, check out some of the tailgates in the parking lot (they'll be there regardless of the weather): giant TV(s), covered seats, Michigan paraphernalia, food, drinks, etc. Also, see if you can find the "Har-Bug." If you're there for a UM Football Game, prepare to see nearly 95% of the crowd in Blue and Maize (other 5% in opposing team's colors). There were 109,000 people in attendance when I went, and there were a few empty seats because of the not-so-great opposing team and because it was raining. And get there before kickoff to hear Darth Vader's (aka James Earl Jones) preamble welcoming the Wolverines to the field. Check mark off my bucket list. read more

What can be said about this massive, iconic and extremely fun stadium that hasn't been said already! I hadn't been to a game in a few years until Michigan played Penn State this year... the game was amazing and Michigan snagged one of its best wins against a ranked team in years. They actually destroyed the Nittany Lions!!! One of my favorite things about he fans at a Michigan game is the level of respect they show to opposing fans. I'm sure there are people being rude to others somewhere in there, but you really don't see it often. There's isn't a bad seat in the Big House and it's so much fun to take part in the various cheers the crowd gets into. There's a great selection of food and beverages, ranging from standard burgers and nachos, to BBQ and Greek gyros. I had such a fun time at the game that I will make sure to get to at least one game every season!!! read more
