Haha, I should have seen that

Haha, I should have seen that coming. I already have a Jake Long and Chad Henne signed Michigan hat and jersey which will stay in my family forever. One day I will own Michigan memorabilia up the gazoo, but for now I am an out-of-state U-M student just trying to make tuition.

Yep

I think that we're all hoping that they do that. Who on here wouldn't want to buy an old seat from there? And even if I can't get something slightly pragmatic like and old seat, I'd still like something to remember the press box by and just to have as Michigan memorabilia.

IIRC, the seats are just folding chairs

And stools. But I haven't been in the press box in more than 10 years.
The Univ has said it will save the art deco lettering atop the press box, but, to my knowledge, will demolish the structure itself.

good!
good!
"The Univ has said it will save the art deco lettering atop the press box,"
I was wondering what they were going to do with that. Now for the important bit - what are they going to do with the fake eagle?

you know how when a home team pulls off a huge win, sometimes the fans will storm the field and pull down the goal posts?
I say, if we beat Ohio State, we dismantle the press box.

Auction?

That's a great idea. They would definitely make tons of money from it. It would be a really classy move if they donated the proceeds to the Children's Hospital.

we put all of our MGOpoints together to buy it and make it the MGOBLOG official headquarters. Location in Ann Arbor to be determined.

Haul it off to the dump but keep it intact as a "press box." Afterall, the Freep beat reports will still need a place to sit during games.
