Sealed Water Bottles Allowed in Michigan Football Stadium

20080905-water-bottle-shrff14-flickrMany fans were upset during the sunbaked Michigan-Utah opening game during Labor Day Weekend.

But Wolverines fans weren’t just perturbed because Michigan dropped its second consecutive opening day game.

Nay.

Many Michigan footballers complained that the University of Michigan Football stadium charged high prices for bottled water ($4 per 25 oz. bottle) and provided no free water sources, su ch as drinking fountains.

Fans can be better prepared this week. Here’s some info reported by the Ann Arbor News regarding drinking water at Michigan Football Stadium:

  • Drinking Fountains: 4 new public drinking fountains are located near Gate 9, on the Michigan Stadium’s North side.
  • Free Water: 4 of 7 Absopure tents offer free 8-oz. cups of water, 2 located near the south end, 1 near the NW corner of the student section and the other on the east side by Crisler Arena.
  • Bottled Water: Michigan fans CAN bring in their own sealed bottled water to the game. MGoBlue confirms the allowance of sealed clear plastic water bottles

This week, the Michigan-Football-Parking crew will offer two free bottled waters per vehicle that parks at our house.

If we have any left over, we’ll hand out bottled waters to other fans too! (wish we could help everyone).

See you on game day.

(p.s. We’re all filled up this week friends, see you at the end of the month)

University of Michigan Kicks Off 2008 Football Season

September 1st, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Michigan Football Tailgating

The University of Michigan football team jumped in to this season with a bout with the Utah Utes. This also gave us a reason to relaunch Michigan-Football-Parking.com, an ode to football fans and people who park on the lawns of houses near the University of Michigan football stadium.

Here’s a quick look into some of the crowd near our house:

The hot Labor Day weekend sun didn’t keep too many fans away, as many flocked to the stadium to see the debut of Rich Rodriguez, U-M’s new football coach.

Wolverine football fans were also greeted by towering construction of the stadium’s new luxury boxes. The boxes should be completed by 2010, according to reports.

Here’s a look at the gate and fans on Saturday:

It was great to see many of our tailgating friends return and we’re all looking forward to seeing you in the coming weeks!
