Michigan Stadium - "The Big House"
Don’t judge me. I wouldn’t judge you if you went to a baseball game at Wrigley Field. I’m not a closet Michigan fan. In fact, growing up, I despised Michigan because my brother, for some reason, was a huge Wolverine fan. We grew up about an hour north of the University of Illinois, so it caused a lot of Saturday afternoon fights in our house.
Still, even though I’ve never been a fan of Michigan, like most sports fans, Michigan Stadium has been one of the stadiums that I really wanted to see a game in. When we moved to Lansing, one of our goals was to see a football game at both Michigan and Michigan State. I’ve been to Spartan Stadium for work, but not Michigan Stadium.
Last week, when I was working at Illinois, I got a text message from J that said she wanted to go to a football game this weekend. She looked first at MSU, but they were on the road, so she checked Michigan. There were tickets available and at $50 a piece, didn’t seem to overpriced, so she ordered two tickets.
I hate to admit it, but I’ve been looking forward to this all week. I mean, it’s The Big House. I have a lot of friends back home, who aren’t Michigan fans either, that are really jealous.
Michigan Stadium is the centerpiece of the University of Michigan athletic campus on the corner of Main Street and Stadium Boulevard. I’ve heard a lot of stories about how crappy the place is, but those opinions were coming from Michigan State fans, so there may be a little biased. My expectations for the stadium itself wasn’t very high. My suspicion was that Michigan Stadium was more about tradition and atmosphere than it was comfort and aesthetics.
