    Yost Arena
    Chris J.

    There is absolutely nothing like coming home to Ann Arbor and watching Yost Arena light up the sky as you're driving down State Street. To step into Yost is like stepping back through history of all those who have skated the school to championships, a building that has stood the time of history and a coach who has given the players, the team, the school, the fans, and the asst coaches his heart and soul to the sport he loves. I hold season tickets in the handicap section right on the ice. Due to a spinal cord injury I can't skate anymore but I can still feel rumble of the bleachers. Go Blue

    Checked out the public skating for the first time (hours are limited, and never on game days, but you can rent a pair of skates cheaply). It's a pretty interesting experience. The soaring windows bathe the ice in natural light, giving this college hockey rink even more of a cathedral feel than it has at night. You can sit on the same bench as the team sits and take selfies on the ice. Highly recommended experience if you're a college hockey fan in town for a game and can add a day to your stay.

    I'm surprised that nobody has reviewed Yost Ice Arena before me. This may be because locals think it's only open to University staff and students. That's not so-- the arena also has public skate times. Or, the lack of reviews may be because the open skate hours are limited, especially in the summer. Hours change seasonally, so to confirm public skate times, call ahead. According to their website, you can rent ice time for various groups or for birthday parties. How fun would that be? The one and only time I went there, I came pretty close to falling a bunch of times. I used to ice skate a lot as a kid, but I hadn't been on skates for about 25 years. Still, it's not unlike learning to ride a bicycle, and my balance got better pretty fast. It's a great workout for your thighs- I was sore the next day, and I had only been on the ice with a friend about 40 or 45 minutes. Admission is $5 for non-student adults and $3 for youth and students. There's a discount on the noon skate, which is $2 across the board. You can also purchase a passbook for multiple visits to save money. Skate rental is an additional $2, or $1 for the noon skate, and they have a pretty good variety of sizes to rent.

    The ice is cold and smooth. It may be some of the best ice I have skated on; it rivals the old Joe Louis Arena.

It is one of the most iconic stadiums in college football and home to the Michigan Wolverines. It is a premier entertainment venue and hosts major events similar to those hosted at professional sporting venues. In the football world, it is known for its record-breaking seating capacity. The Big House also offers a world class stadium tour guided by knowledgeable experts. On the tour you're given behind the scenes access to player tunnels, player locker rooms, media suites, club and executive suites, and of course, ground zero on the playing field. The tour takes you through so many exclusive areas of the stadium that fans normally don't see, offering the player and stadium employee perspective. The tour guides are knowledgeable and sure to provide historical context and little known facts of the legacy of the stadium. Overall, a very good experience and beautiful stadium.

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.

    I had the great pleasure of watching UM Women's Basketball team compete in the final game of the…read more'25-'26 academic year in the second round of the NCAA tournament against NC State yesterday. The squad played exceptionally hard and pulled away for an impressive victory. The arena was clean, easy to get to, and we were welcomed by friendly elderly security screeners. The fans were engaged and polite. Several times our seat neighbors helpfully explained a rule for me after I had to be told to sit down & be quiet by my girlfriend. "Why one star?" you ask. I answer your question with a question: how can an institution whose athletic tradition is bested only by its academic prestige, a school full of valiant victors and heroes conq'ring, a university Darth Vader himself called the Best In The World, how can this venerated landmark serve its paying guests food not fit for the livestock on faculty in East Lansing? At halftime our beloved Wolverines were clinging to a 3 point lead after star guard Olivia Olson sat much of the first half in foul trouble (she finished with 27 points, all after the break). We had arrived within time's bending sickle's compass, though I didn't know it yet. We ventured into the concourse and chose a lunch line without much thought. This carelessness has altered the trajectory of my otherwise unremarkable life. Nothing looked particularly appetizing, least of all the prices. The prices! Friends, Romans, countrymen, I could have finished my abandoned undergrad degree (not from UofM, didn't even get waitlisted) for less than the cost of these heat-lamp Hindenburgs . But a hungry man with a hangry lover is wont to make hasty decisions: a small pepperoni Buddy's pizza; a small cardboard boat of fries badly in need of sildenafil; a small lukewarm water set on the counter by an aggressively indifferent sandwich artist sometime during the regular season; a box of popcorn whose visage, to a lifelong resident of B1G corn country, inspires rage and sorrow at the lost joy of freshly popped 'n buttered maize from states that begin with I; this pathetic bounty, $36. No. $43. Wait, no, $28. The concession areas in Crisler clearly list prices, but no person from the battalion of service workers there employed will exchange money for food. The world-renowned Behavior and Cognitive Sciences Department at the University of Michigan has installed tray-sized platforms under mounted fisheye lenses that, in partnership with Jian Yang's Seefood®, will discern what items you have set upon it and select at random two consecutive digits of Pi and display a dollar sign preceding those two digits and demand you pay that sum to be permitted to eat. Pending peer review they anticipate their findings will be published in JABS sometime next year. Based on the speed at which the queues move, our fellow-travelers, otherwise thinking people, tap their cards and exit. Love's not time's fool and neither am I--before I hand over my hard-earned SNAP credits, I want to be sure we are being charged the correct sum. I hesitate. My Opehlia, smarter than me in every way, arrives at the correct total for our selections long before I do. The Pi digits generated by the UoMBCSD machine do not match hers. Surely the difference is easily fixed? Here enters a sturdy woman, bearing a nametag inscrutable, sharply uniformed as assurance of comprehensive training, to assist. Harass? Assist. "Ok den, what y'all got?" I gesture at the clearly visible food sat upon the Seefood® tray. "Uh huh," she grunts, ostensibly by way of reassurance, though a glance at my beloved confirms that neither of us are reassured. Ophelia, smarter and gentler than me, proposes a summary as seconds of unrecognition creep in this petty pace. "I think it's charging us for a chicken and fries combo, but I just wanted the fries." Comprehension lights upon Sturdy's countenance. "Aay! Ay, ay, gimme one'dem empy whites!" She calls back to her antecounter coworkers. For a brief moment I fear she's referring to me: there are less-accurate descriptions of your humble reviewer than an Empty White. Mercifully, a barren rectangular styrofoam container emerges and Sturdy takes it in one hand, grabs our fries uncovered-thumb-first with her other hand, and replaces the empty space with the empty white. Seefood® thinks for a moment, then regurgitates a total that Ophelia and I both recognize is lower than correct. I move to pay but Sturdy stops me as the numbers crawl through her mind like allied troops on Omaha Beach: slowly, with violent intent. "Naw dat ain' righ'." Our fries are still marinating in her thumbsweat as she uses her other hand to scroll the touch-screen menu UoMBCSD helpfully installed as part of their two-tailed experiment on the hungry unsuspecting masses of Crisler. She arrives at FRIES as an option and presses the screen. INVALID ENTRY Hôtel des Invalides took less time to finish than checkout at a Crisler Seefood® public psychosocial experime

Had it not been for Charlotte scheduling this random MAC school on its schedule, I most likely never would have wound up here. To say the stadium is nothing special would be putting it lightly. It is closing in on 50 years old, and it doesn't look like there have been many upgrades made to the stadium since then, save for a newer (but still outdated) scoreboard. The concourse behind the visitor section was dimly lit in the evening, and reminded me of a bad crime drama (CSI: Ypsilanti?) or horror movie. There was only one concession stand open that had the bare essentials, and little else. The cheese for the nachos had the consistency of water, and was severely insufficient for the amount of chips that they gave me. Because of the lack of people in the stands, game operations seems to think it's a good idea to crank the music up to max so that you can't hear yourself think. The sound then just echoes off all the empty concrete through the stadium. It's a common ploy by venues that can't draw fans to make the place sound loud, but it doesn't work other places, and it doesn't work here. Ticket prices are $15 before game day and $25 day of. This is an absolutely criminal price for what you get. I got my tickets on StubHub for $8/each, and would strongly recommend you check the secondary market before you hand over that kind of money. Parking is no longer free as stated in the previous review, it's now $5, which in this day and age is perfectly fine and far cheaper than you find at similar stadiums. I probably won't ever be back just because I'm nowhere nearby and no team that I support plays there with any sort of frequency. I wouldn't recommend that you visit this place unless you have a good reason to, or if you're in the area and want to watch college football without the crowds of other venues.

Another fascinating feature is the stained glass windows of crimes and other aspects of the law. From the stained glass window depicting murder to that depicting debt collectors dragging away a person who was going bankrupt... I don't think the windows were originally intended to be comical, but I found them hilarious. The law quad is really cool to visit. Go blue!
