Would you be in favor of M Football playing a game @ Comerica Park?

No way. That is a gimmicky thing to do for programs that need to drum up more hype. That would be an MSU thing to do. We don't need extra hype for our program. Besides, why would we pass up 110,000 tickets sold at the Big House in exchange for 40,000 tickets at Comerica. Silly idea.

with your mother-in-law. 99% of the population would be upset with the thought of it. The remaining 1% who might actually go through with the idea (after enough alcohol), would wake up in the morning asking theirselves "What in the Hell is wrong with me?"

F'ing crazy? We have the best stadium on the planet EVER.
September 15th, 2011 at 8:41 PM ^
NOOOOOOOO!

Not a chance. UM draws 115,000. There's no need for a novelty game that gets 1/3 of that plus potential safety issues for the players. Worst. Idea. Ever.

as in playing on a surface not meant for football?

Are you going to bus 30K students from Ann Arbor to Detroit? Nice

Moving the UConn game may be more likely than you think. Moving the game would give UConn more revenue and U-M more exposure than playing at Storrs in a 40K seat stadium.
I remember reading that there is a buyout clause in the U-M / UConn contract. The revenue from additional home game for U-M would more than pay for the buyout. Dave Brandon could use that as leverage to "encourage" UConn to move the game to Yankee Stadium or the Meadowlands to their mutual benefit.

Sorry, the Big House is just too awesome. It would have to be something like an Aircraft Carrier to get me to want to watch a game anywhere but the Big House. Shoot, I even want hockey to play more games there!
September 15th, 2011 at 10:01 PM ^
ummmmmm.....no!
never!
nope!
not a chance!
negatory!
¡nada!
neine!
not over my dead body!

Well, under certain conditions
1) Guaranteed gate of $10 million to Michigan.
2) Counted as an away game for Michigan, so we play eight games in Ann Arbor, one at Ford Field, and three elsewhere.
3) Better yet, a "home and away" in Ann Arbor and Detroit with Alabama or Florida or USC, or MSU or ND.
However, since I don't see any of these conditions ever being agreed to, no, I would never want a game at Ford Field.

somehow the tigers can pack the house without anarchy erupting. and that area hosts the electronic music festival and hoedown. a lot of reasons not to do this but that is dumb.
September 15th, 2011 at 10:13 PM ^
You have the greatest stadium in all of football in Ann Arbor. Why would you move it to a smaller less electronic environment

not a chance. Michigan plays home games in the Big House.
September 15th, 2011 at 11:18 PM ^
I would like to move the Alabama and UConn games to Comerica Park or Ford Field or better yet, the Big House.
September 15th, 2011 at 11:39 PM ^
are far more vicious and hilarious than I thought they would be. The sarcasm level of all MGoPosters has improved considerably in recent months.

Now you find a way to raise Tiger Stadium from the rubble, and then you may just have a good idea.... Only other stadium, other than the Big House where I got goosbumps when I walked in and saw the field. But even with that scenario, it is still a bad idea to hold a Michigan home game at a Baseball field.
September 16th, 2011 at 1:08 AM ^
They should play here instead:
But sadly, there are no stands or concessions here....
And props to anyone who knows here "here" is....
September 16th, 2011 at 4:42 AM ^
Why would you ask a dumb question like that?
September 16th, 2011 at 8:17 AM ^
Just no.

I wouldn't want them to play at Comerica. There's no way Dave Brandon would sacrifice a home game and all those dollars for a neutral site game in Detroit. It sounds cool but doesn't make much financial sense. If for some reason they did play such a game it would only make sense to play sparty there.
September 16th, 2011 at 10:43 AM ^
Personally, I vote for a neutral site night game vs. OSU (on OSU's home year of course) at the Indianapolis Speedway. They already have 250,000 seats. And then they can add as needed.
September 20th, 2011 at 8:12 PM ^
you CAN make out the scoreboard at Comerica...just sayin..
September 20th, 2011 at 8:49 PM ^
LOL
Wait, seriously?
