Big House

Said I would post these following our win Saturday, so here they are.  My brother, dad and I were fortunate enough to be invited to sit in a box for the game.  I snagged a few pics using my phone, so excuse the quality.  Overall it was an amazing experience, and I was very happy not to be caught out in the monsoon!

THE Box

Oh, hey Lloyd (he was in the box right next to us, someone bugged him and he was kind enough to come say hi)

Here are all the pictures I took before my phone died (DARN YOU SIGNAL AT BIG HOUSE!!).  Some are players coming in, etc.

I was sort of happy with my night pictures of the scoreboard last night but not 100% happy, so I decided to stop by after work and get some more shots.  There was quite a bit more activity because they were putting some final touches on the boards and there were some TV trailers set up for the game on Saturday.  Anyways...

After the Stadium, decided to take a quick walk around the Arb.

Enjoy.

I created a quick onnline survey in hopes that you all will take about 30 seconds of your time to fill it out when you are able.  I'm curious as to how many MGoMembers plan on attending at least one game this year compared to their age and distance from the Big House, in particular.  I think the results will be interesting and I plan on publishing them in a Diary entry some time after everyone has time to take the survey.  Link?  Link:

Thanks in advance for participating. 

Sorry in advance to those that get annoyed by survey solicitations (I'm usually one of those people but I love MGoSurveys for some reason).

I apologize in advance as these are not the greatest pictures of the scoreboards but they are an attempt.  I'm gonna try to get them in the daylight at some point.  I would love to get them from the inside this year (maybe Ohio State?).

On a side note, I will be on the sidelines at the Eastern game on Saturday.  Wish me luck as this will be a first for me.

So I finally got my tickets to the Notre Dame game after spending weeks researching and watching the prices.  I finally bit the bullet and threw down some serious cash to get them and I decided that if I was going to drop that kind of money, I was going to get good seats.  That started me thinking:

What do you all think are the best seats in Michigan Stadium and why?

Personally, I prefer seats in Sections 24-25, somewhere around Rows 20-30.  They are close enough to the student section to get a piece of my college experience but also a little closer to midfield.  Rows 20-30 are close enough to the field to feel a part of the action but far enough up to see the whole field clearly. 

What say you?

Hey there MGoBlogosphere,

I'm looking for some cheap Michigan Aerial shots for gifts but hte ones through MgoBle, MDen or other official UM sites are pretty expensive. Anyone out there take some Aerial photos that would be willing to sell at a fair price? Or know of somewhere i can go to find some cheap? Thanks!

(I looked at the michigan exposure website by mikoyan but didn't find anything; great pictures though)
