Hi Parents!
There is a chance that the game will be canceled tomorrow due to the weather. In the event that happens, we will move the scrimmage to the Glick Field House. The game will not be open to the public, but players' immediate families will be permitted in Glick. We understand that almost every family has extra guests coming to the game, but we will only be able to accommodate immediate family.
Please come to the side doors of Oosterbaan Field House (by the softball field) if the game is canceled at the Stadium, and checkMGoBlue.com beginning at 6AM for information on cancellation.
See you soon!
Inclement Weather Expected Saturday for Mott Spring Game
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The University of Michigan Athletic Department has been following the weather map and conditions that are expected for Saturday (April 14) during the Mott Spring Game presented by PNC Bank and the "Battle at the Big House" men's lacrosse game against Ohio State. The radar shows a 60-percent chance of thunderstorms.
"We are concerned about the weather conditions that are expected in Ann Arbor at the time of our scrimmage and lacrosse game," said Rob Rademacher, U-M's associate athletic director for facilities and operations. "We will cancel the events at the stadium if the safety of our fans, players and staff is compromised by the weather. Cancellation is a possibility given the reports we have received from local weathermen and from radar."
The athletic department will make a final decision on whether or not to cancel the events held at Michigan Stadium around 6 a.m. on Saturday.
If weather causes cancellation, the football team will hold its final spring practice indoors at Al Glick Field House. The scrimmage will not be open to the public because of space limitations but will still be broadcast on Big Ten Network.
The men's lacrosse game between Michigan and Ohio State will be played at Michigan Stadium or move indoors to Oosterbaan Field House adjacent to Schembechler Hall. The game is free to the general public and will be played at 2:30 p.m.

this changes almost nothing for us.
All it really does it make it even more of a family atmosphere.
1. make a familiest atmosphere. 2. make parents of players recruit parents of recruits. 3. ? 4. Profit.
On the fifth night—possibly the sixth—a breeze arose.
It was cool and dewy.
