Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Michigan Stadium

1201 S. Main St.

Ann Arbor, MI 48104

Located in Ann Arbor — about 45 miles west of Detroit — the stadium sits just south of downtown with easy access from local neighborhoods and campus.

• Parking: Limited on-site parking is reserved for permit holders. Public parking is available at Pioneer High School and other nearby lots (typically $20–$50+ on game days). Street parking is limited — arrive early.
• Public Transit: The Ann Arbor Area Transportation Authority (TheRide) operates shuttles on game days from downtown and select lots.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated pickup and dropoff zones are available on Main St. and adjacent streets.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before kickoff or event start to allow time for parking, security screening, and navigating the crowds. With public parking concentrated in nearby lots and streets, the earlier you show up, the better your options and the shorter your walk.

Michigan Stadium is an outdoor venue, and weather can swing from hot and sunny to cold and rainy during football season. Dress for changing conditions, bring layers, and consider ponchos for wet forecasts (umbrellas are prohibited). Cell service is generally good but can be spotty when the stadium is full — download your tickets before you go.

Expect significant walking, including stairs to reach most seats in the bowl. If you’re using TheRide shuttles or being dropped off along Main St., build in time to pass through security and find your section. For high-demand Michigan Stadium events, entrances and concourses get busy, so plan your route ahead using your ticket section number.

Venue Navigation

The venue’s bowl-style layout makes it straightforward to orient yourself — sections are numbered 1–44 and most include Rows 1–98, with premium areas, suites, and a press box tier. Concourse walkways circle the stadium, connecting concessions, restrooms, and merchandise stands so you can grab what you need without missing much action.

You’ll find multiple concession stands throughout, serving stadium favorites like hot dogs, pizza, nachos, and pretzels, plus specialty bratwursts and vegetarian options. Official team stores and kiosks are spread around the concourse for quick gear pickups. Guest Services, first aid stations, family restrooms, ATMs, and charging stations are available in select areas. Comfortable footwear is a smart choice — the bowl seating means stairs and steady walking to and from your seats.

Security and Policies

• Bag Policy: Only clear bags (12"x6"x12" or smaller) and small clutch bags (4.5"x6.5" or smaller) are permitted.
• Prohibited Items: Backpacks, large purses, outside food/drink, umbrellas, selfie sticks, weapons, seatbacks with arms, and noisemakers are not allowed.
• Re-entry Policy: No re-entry once you exit the venue.
• Service Animals: Permitted for guests with disabilities.
• Camera Policy: Small personal cameras allowed; no lenses over 6 inches; no video or professional equipment.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
• Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
• Charge your phone fully.
• Review venue policies in advance.
• Dress for the weather — the stadium is fully outdoors and conditions change quickly.
• Allow extra time for stairs and walking from parking lots to the gates.

Pre-Event Planning

If you’re arriving early, take a moment for photos at the stadium exterior — its iconic scale and design make for great game-day shots. Once inside, upper rows offer sweeping aerial views of the bowl that capture the crowd energy in full. If you’re meeting friends, choose a clearly marked section number as your rally point; with sections 1–44 and long row ranges, it’s easy to find a landmark everyone recognizes.

For a smoother experience, consider TheRide shuttle options from downtown or select lots on busier dates. If you prefer to park, plan for Pioneer High School or nearby lots and bring cash or card based on posted rates. Give yourself time to grab concessions, browse team stores, and settle into your seats before kickoff or showtime — especially for high-demand games and concerts.

Accessibility

Michigan Stadium is ADA-accessible, with designated ADA parking (permit required), accessible seating throughout the venue, and companion seating options. Elevators are available at select gates, and ramps at main entrances aid access to concourses and seating areas.

For guests who need additional support, assistive listening devices are available at Guest Services, and golf cart shuttles operate from select parking lots for those with mobility needs. For assistance choosing accessible seating, contact Ticket Purchase for personalized support before purchasing.

Dining Options

Inside the venue, you’ll find multiple concession stands serving stadium favorites such as hot dogs, pizza, nachos, and pretzels, along with specialty bratwursts and vegetarian options. In select premium areas, you can enjoy local Michigan craft beers to complement your game-day meal.

Concourse locations are spread throughout the bowl, so you can grab food and drinks without traveling far from your section. Lines move quickly before kickoff and during halftime — arriving a bit early helps you beat the rush.
