Love it!

W7, Row 61. Wearing blue, but it's going to be 87 degrees at kickoff so going with kahki shorts; not pants. Staying right on campus at University Guest House.

I will be in the North End Zone with Jack Hammer (another mgoblogger).
We arrive Wednesday... can't wait!

We will be the two guys wearing one giant blue jersey like a couple of conjoined twins.

Haha! Actually we used to work together. Summer of 1987. McDonald's. Ford Rd and Sheldon. However our professional paths went different directions.

From Northville, which is 20 min away from Ann Arbor.
August 30th, 2015 at 9:15 PM ^
I'm in N23, Row 3 - hoping that's not too close to throw off the field perception. Also hitting the alumni tailgate. Then driving to Vegas on Friday morning. Been looking forward to this trip for a long time. Go Blue!

teams, all of whom will have their practices cut short in time to get us home for the 8:30 kick off.

Flying in Wednesday from O'Hare, staying at the University Guest House (I get the family discount for supporting a U of U student there for four years). Great place to stay on campus, up by the dorms which were built for the Olympics. Bringing the MGoWife, MGoDaughter and UGoSon (sorry!). The M daughter is desperate for revenge on her U twin brother after the nightmare in the storm last fall.
Also meeting my company's lawyer (M Law) for pre-gaming. If we don't learn of another gathering (not getting into the sold-out Alumni Association tailgate, it appears), we'll probably stop by Gracie's before heading up to the stadium.
And just found out that we've got tickets for Oregon State the next week. Lots of travelling, but worth it because...HARBAUGH!
August 30th, 2015 at 10:55 PM ^
As the U of U son of a U of M father, well done on the lodging. That's ideal! I hope you enjoy Salt Lake and the game.
August 31st, 2015 at 1:02 AM ^
I considered going to every game this year, but Indiana is in the middle of nowhere and I'm going to my wife's Alma Mater homecomming game the weekend of the Minnesota game. Harbaugh!
August 30th, 2015 at 9:26 PM ^
I'll be leaving for SLC from Metro Airport on Wednesday. My friend has our tickets for the game, and I don't know where we are in the stadium. I've never been to Utah and am looking forward to seeing some of the local sights too.

But I have to work! But I have one weekend off and will be at the IU vs Michigan game! The team should be in beast mode by then!

Keep in mind that you are taking this advice from a non-drinking Mormon but I know that the Desert Edge Brewery at Trolley Square (http://desertedgebrewery.com/) is a popular hangout here in town.
Not quite within walking distance from the stadium (it is "down the hill" from the stadium and I don't recommend the climb) but it is still reasonably close and on the way from downtown, just a street south of the main drag of 400 South.
Trolley Square is the trolley station from yesteryear that was converted into a mall with restaurants but still maintains its original aura. Kinda cool.
Even as a non-drinker, I enjoy eating there with my wives...er, wife, and family.
Just a thought from a native.

Utah is more of a commuter school. I can't recall any bars right on campus. Maybe some have popped up recently?
August 30th, 2015 at 11:48 PM ^
You are correct in your assessments.
See my response to PeterKlima above re: Desert Edge Brewery at Trolley Square. That is probably the closest bar/restaurant to the stadium.
