Spring game 2009 (Maize Out?!)
The spring game is as of now being held on April 11. I think everyone should go to this event and cheer on the maize and blue. Treat it like its a real game(it'll get the players excited for this upcoming season). So I think it would be awesome if all the students went and sat in there original spots wearing maize. Cheer every play like its a real game. Everyone wear maize as it is. Maize out for spring game. I know we got 4 months, but we should go all out.
Plus, if you go you get to see the new renovations added since last home game.
I don't goto the university for school, but someone who does should make a facebook event and send it to all there friends. "Maize out for spring game".

Sounds like a decent idea. I'm sure the people who organized the block M for the Wisconsin game would be interested in spreading the word for this. I'll be there and i'll be wearing maize!

So it is going to be held at Michigan Stadium this year?
January 7th, 2009 at 8:56 AM ^
Students sitting in their regular seats? So, you want them on their couches at their frat house?
J/K....well, not really as there were a few games this year where I was disappointed in the empty seats in the student section.
Seriously, the spring game will be fun and I would echo the thoughts of the post, that if you can get there, go out and support the program.
Hopefully the weather will be nice.
Will they be selling Forcier jerseys yet?
January 7th, 2009 at 5:38 PM ^
Forcier, like other freshmen, won't be given a number until the fall.
January 7th, 2009 at 6:14 PM ^
What about Ricardo Miller? Are they selling his jerseys yet? I'd like to get one of those in the next month or so.
January 7th, 2009 at 6:40 PM ^
Actually, now that I think about it, that's wrong. Since he'll be here for spring ball, he'll a get a number.

I am planning on making the trip over to AA. Is anyone planning on meeting up. I am not a student, nor was I ever, so it would be cool have a spot where other MGoBloggers could interact.
January 7th, 2009 at 10:19 AM ^
the spring game. Does anyone know details- time, place, do you need to buy tickets? I live in Las Vegas but go back to MI a lot. I would need to plan my visit to coincide with the game.
January 7th, 2009 at 10:38 AM ^
Usually starts around 11 and has been free previously.
January 7th, 2009 at 11:08 AM ^
for the info!
January 7th, 2009 at 3:19 PM ^
Ya its always been free in past. And you sit wherever. Who wants to help spread the word?
Lets show the nation we support our teams no matter what. 3-9? who cares, its michigan, we grew up michigan fans, were not bandwagon fans. Michigan will be on the top again.
Wear Maize.
January 7th, 2009 at 6:22 PM ^
jmblue, is this different bc theres so many early enrollments? Last spring darryl stonum had 22 in winter/spring last year.
January 13th, 2009 at 8:46 AM ^
I have been a michigan fan for 15+ years and have yet to go to a game in the Big House, i am def. going to go to this. It would be cool if everyone could meet up somewhere, and is there tailgaiting at this event or not? Cant wait for the upcoming season, looks like we got some promising recruits. I cant wait to see Tate Forcier and Fitzgerald Toussaint as they could be the future for us Wolvering Fans. GO BLUE!!!!
January 13th, 2009 at 8:56 AM ^
Spring games are cool, but they're nothing like a real game in The Big House. Try to catch a regular season game against a BigTen opponent.
January 13th, 2009 at 11:18 AM ^
I live in Lincoln Nebraska and I've been to NE's spring game and I've been to Michigan's spring game and I would like to see a Michigan Spring game that is jam "Packed"! Last year was one of the first years I wan't able to be at Michigan's spring game so I went to Nebraska's spring game and it was like a regular game day. You couldn't find an empty seet the the stadium. I love the idea of a maize out and think that the spring game should be promoted and we should want it to be HUGE!
GO BLUE!!
January 18th, 2009 at 2:36 AM ^
Yes. I would love for the spring game to get huge. It would get the players so excited for the season.
Well, I havnt went to a game in years(spring game). But i know the players used to actually walk from the practice area to the stadium at different times. Its great for the kids getting autographs.
And THERE IS TAILGATING. Its like a regular game by cut the fanbase by 1/8.
January 18th, 2009 at 2:39 AM ^
I think we need to make sure everyone finds out about this from the board, at least. I've seen another thread about it. I'm going to take the day off work tomorrow and make sure I head out there.
Anyone know the time on this business?
January 18th, 2009 at 10:20 AM ^
Isn't it hard to have a Maize Out with about 3500 people in the stands? Or are we painting the seats yellow?
January 18th, 2009 at 2:32 PM ^
Thats the whole point CHITOWNBLUE, to get more people to go. Even if we don't fill the stands, wear maize anyway.
Why be that guy not wearing maize regardless?
January 18th, 2009 at 2:36 PM ^
Honestly, I like the Spring game the way it is - free. It's a fun way to spend a few hours, and to see the players in a little less formal environment. I don't WANT it to be like Nebraska or Alabama, where they sell tickets.
You get to sit whereever you want in the stadium, in likely the best seats you're ever going to get there (for free), and you're not packed in like a sardine. Don't get me wrong - I love gamedays - but I think the Spring Game works the way it is.
January 19th, 2009 at 12:06 AM ^
If only they made every game free with pick ur own seats,:)
Oh boy, the chaos that would start :P
January 25th, 2009 at 3:44 PM ^
Everyone likes it free. But, even 5 bucks, I wouldn't complain.
I cannot wait until this game to see what we got.
January 25th, 2009 at 5:10 PM ^
I've never been to a spring game, going to my first one this year! seems like a sweet deal to me
January 25th, 2009 at 5:14 PM ^
I'm going for sure. I'm sitting my ass as close to the 50 yard line as possible about 25 rows up...
February 9th, 2009 at 10:33 AM ^
I will be attending my first spring game this year but I don't know for sure what time it starts. I would like to get there pretty early so I could possibally get some auto's and a great seat but that won't be possiball without the info I need. Someone PLEASE help me out!
The spring game starts at 12:00 on April 11th. Locker room tours are from 8:00 - 10 a.m. and there is a former player flag football game at 10 a.m. All seats are first come first serve, except for the student section. I hope the info helped!
This will be my first spring game. I'm bring 5 up to the Big House! Even though I live in Oh., I wave the M flag high! Even at 3-9. Belive me, I get a lot of crap, But I know things will go back to the way it should be. Does anyone know what time it starts?
