Due to the rain the UM golf course will be closed tomorrow for tailgating.

+1 to the OP for very useful info. 

I'll be driving 6+ hours to Ann Arbor for the game tomorrow.   I wasn't planning on getting there early enough to enjoy tailgating at the golf course, but my fear is the parking domino effect due to the UM golf course closure.    My only hope is that Rutgers inspires a late arriving crowd.

This is exactly what we were planning to do, so thanks for the vote of confidence!   We hope to find a parking structure downtown or near campus, then walk.   I definitely won't mind a 20-30 minute walk after driving for 6+ hours.   If we arrive early enough, we might try to find a residential street parking spot near my daughter's student rental home north of Huron.   But I'm not familiar with the current residential street parking scene in that part of town.

Some of my best memories on game day is starting to walk to the stadium from Hill and Forest or South University and Forest and experiencing the energy of the growing crowd walking to the stadium.  Still take the same route 50 years later.

 

Just a good memory.

What happens when they do this? Everyone gets refunded and they have to fend for themselves? 

I'm coming up for a game later, bought a spot at PiHi because the golf course doesn't allow dogs and I'll have mine with me.

I can bear personal witness to the fact that you should be careful parking ANYWHERE pavement is not present for the next several days around here. The ground is very, very......squishy. I will put it that way. 4-5 inches of rain - AGAIN - will do that.
