Football season - night game!

There are many exciting elements to being on campus and in Ann Arbor during the fall, and chief among them is home football games at the Big House. We are excited to see fans returning to the stadium, and also recognize that there are some important steps that we can take to stay safe, and enjoy the fan experience.

The first four games of the season are all at home in Ann Arbor, and there will be lots of opportunities around campus to enjoy the atmosphere, celebrate school spirit, and be part of the pre- and post-game festivities.

To find out more about the events taking place during each home game weekend, please visit the Happening@Michigan calendar. For each home game in September, there will be a special event at the Michigan Union, starting on Saturday, September 4, for the home opener against Western Michigan. Check out Game Day@The Union for more details.

The second home game, on September 11, will be a night game against Washington. Night games always bring an extra-special atmosphere, and there are some things you can do to enjoy the day safely.
