As a University of Michigan alumni, Michigan Stadium or “The Big House” is a special place for me. It’s a place where I spent four years cheering on the Wolverines as one of the many in a sea of maize and blue football fans. I remember watching Dhani Jones and Charles Woodson get us to the Rose Bowl in 1998 on this field and celebrating them like heroes upon their return.

Bringing my family back to Ann Arbor and touring Michigan Stadium was one of the highlights of our family vacation.

Jim - our incredible tour guide - was beyond generous with his time, patient beyond belief, let us try on his national champion ring, and even let me play out my dream of scoring a touchdown on the field (despite an intense defense).

From standing in the locker room to exiting through the tunnel with a jump and tap on the official “Go Blue” banner, it was a dream come true. Fun fact - this banner travels with the umichfootball team so they can keep the tradition alive before each game.

Taking a stadium tour is a MUST if they’re offered during your visit (the schedule is listed online). I have never experienced the uofmichigan stadium like this, and after an incredible week touring this wonderful city, it remains the favorite activity across the whole family.

With that said, bringing it all together for my kids when they re-entered with 110,648 other fans for our Saturday night game blew their minds.

Thank you again Jim, annarbor for arranging everything, and of course GO BLUE!
