Home to University of Michigan football, Michigan Stadium is simply one of the great sporting venues in America. On fall Saturdays the stadium fills to capacity, the marching band plays, and the atmosphere is something you do not forget. Even if you have no interest in American football, the sheer scale of the place and the intensity of the crowd make it worth experiencing at least once.
Outside of game days the stadium is quiet and you can walk around the exterior. Tickets for popular games — especially the annual rivalry with Ohio State — sell out well in advance and command high resale prices. If you are visiting during football season (September through November), check the schedule and plan your trip around it, or at least plan to be somewhere other than downtown on game day when traffic grinds to a halt.
