I'm reading 'The Big House, Fielding H. Yost and the Building of Michigan Stadium' by Robert Soderstrom (which has been very interesting so far) and back in the early 20's the maize and blue faithful would meet at Hill Aud. to follow games.  So here's a little history lesson on the1922 Vanderbilt game: 

Back in Ann Arbor, thousands of Michigan students followed the game at Hill Auditorium.  The alumni association helped to secure an immense electronic football scoreboard that had first been used in Columbus during the previous year's game between Ohio State and Chicago.  The grid 11 feet tall and 15 feet wide, controlled entirely by electricity and operated by one man.  The gridiron was marked off in five-yard lines by lights with other lights indicating the position of the teams and different players.  Thus, when a play was made, the ball was moved down the field the corresponding distance and different lights were lit, relaying the amount of yardage gained and the man carrying the ball.  A special telegraph wire was leased running directly from Vanderbilt's stadium to the board operator at Hill Auditorium so the game could be followed almost as it happened.  The event was a huge success, and plans were immediately made to use the electronic grid-graph for other away games.

The game was the dedication game for Vandy's new stadium and ended in a 0-0 tie. 

Back to what you were asking about though, I would love to head down to Crisler or Yost to watch an away game.
