Confirmed. Michigan is not the whiteout game...Iowa is

That would be one of the few positives IMO. After traveling to many of the other large stadiums and experiencing game day Michigan's sound system pails in comparison both in terms of loudness and sound quality...Not sure I would trade a better sound system for ads though.

It would be cool if that was…

It would be cool if that was close to how it looked, however, my guess is the video portion would be about the same as the current boards and the 'expanded' sections would be for ads/sponsors. Which IMO will be very not cool.

*See my original post below for additional context including the STH survey the department sent out

As am I, and many of my…

As am I, and many of my friends. I was very disappointed with the survey and the obvious choice to not allow comments or an 'other' option. However, I am not sure what the alternative is as they are obviously not interested in living with the current revenue, and as players continue to get lucrative NIL deals it's only a matter of time before some of the TV money goes to players so they are doing everything to try and compensate. Perhaps knowing some of the ad/sponsor money directly and or indirectly will be going to players may help soften the blow. 

I have my doubts that it's…

I have my doubts that it's only because the technology is obsolete. As the other poster said there was a survey sent to STH and of the many questions asked having advertisements/sponsors in the stadium was featured prominently along with alcohol sales. I think the athletic department may be using 'obsolete technology' as an excuse to put new boards in with room for ads/sponsors...or at least big enough to have them if they need. They seem to have found the tipping point with the price of tickets and are trying to find other revenue sources. I have mixed feelings as the price of tickets is getting to where the average fan cant attend...but much of the beauty of Michigan Stadium is the lack of ads/sponsors in the bowl. It's a shame having ads/sponsors may be the compromise to keeping ticket prices 'reasonable'.

I have two tickets for sale. Section 634 row 12 looking only to get what I paid for them $418 a piece OBO.

Email me at [email protected] if interested. Happy to do PayPal and provide whatever proof buyer needs. I prefer they go to a Michigan fan. Also on the Michigan side of the field.

Tough to say. With this being Michigan's first trip fans are very very hungry. Add in that many buckeyes purchased tickets early in the season assuming they were going and are now either refusing to sell to spite Michigan fans or selling at outrageous prices.

Looking for two tickets at a reasonable price like just about everyone here. Was denied my request for tix by the athletic department. Email at [email protected] if you are selling.

Thanks!

We are meeting as usual at 6pm at Burton Tower. Slightly different than usual...no smashing of nuts, some may bring flowers but mostly it will just be a simple solemn walk. All three graves will be visited and people may participate in whatever they wish. If you feel differently than others attending about any portions please be respectful. Bring your favorite cigar if that's your persuasion.

I do not like Warren and I think he's shmuck but even a blind squirrel finds a nut once and a while.

It's nice to see them putting something up, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be a permanent graphic. Rather it's a slide they play on the TV. A couple photos from when I was in the facility a few years ago. 

The home slate isn't good…

The home slate isn't good this season. The ADept tries to combat that by only increasing the prices every other year (when the schedule is good). The price "locked in" for the 2020 season is the exact same as the 2019 season. However, the price went up by 5% for both PSC and tickets prior to the 2019 season and I expect a similar increase before renewals for the 2021 season. They are pricing a lot of people and families out and having less than stellar schedules including no premier/rival games this year and 2-3 cupcakes every year. Not to mention no championships or wins over osu. Even with the family pack deals many younger fans aren't having the opportunity to attend games, and even when they are its a poor opponent. As a child in the 90s attending games with my family was reasonable, expensive, but not outlandish. Today to take a family to any game that isn't a cupcake opponent it is extremely expensive. I worry Michigan will loose a large amount of future fans willing to go to games either through disinterest, because they cannot afford it or because their families modeled watching from home. I also agree that the home experience has become far more appealing as the in stadium experience has degraded. I have had many friends give up their tickets for the comfort of home as well as the ability to not feel obligated to attend if the weather or opponent is poor. They also have found even with the fees on the secondary market they can sit in the same area (sometimes their exact seats) or better seats for only the games they want to attend for far less than the cost of season tickets. 

I've heard it over the years…

I've heard it over the years in a variety of sections. My season tickets are currently in the lower part section 18 and it has been wonderful. Most people in that section stand the whole game, yell and really get into it. It also is dependent on what's going on in the game and the opponent. There is a lot of respect for all viewers whether they sit or stand and how they wish to participate vocally.

First (most left) is classic and personally my favorite. Middle isn't bad and would be my second choice. Third (most right) is interesting...I get the design intent but the execution isn't great.

So is Charles

So is Charles the honorary captain for both msu and osu then? Per coaches youtube channel confirmed he was for osu. Not that I'm complaining mind you. The more Charles Woodson is around the better!

Excellent

I look forward to it Thanks!!

I'll Be There

Looking forward to it!!! 

Still waiting

Live in A2 and havent recieved yet

DNA

They're not ment to be service ribbons, they're ment to be one of the bonds in a DNA strand. All the apparel with it uses DNA in their descriptions (For example "Jordan University of Michigan Heather Gray DNA Facility Tee"). 

I'm a big fan of the Montecristo #2

I'm a big fan of the Montecristo #2 It's a medium to full body stogie with a perfect burn and draw. It has a really nice smooth yet spiced flavor

Awesome work

Excellent as usual Mello! Your vids keep me going in the off season!

It's the most wonderful time of the off season!

Pledged!

I wonder

I wonder how many priority points are needed this year. I have a friend who got offered last year with 5.

"When it rains it pours! We came home from Florida well relaxed and rested....well that lasted about 5 minutes. Our home was broken into while we were out of town and Jason's car was also stolen. Most importantly, they

Took a fire proof safe that contained our external hard drives with all of our pictures and videos. Yes those are of course very prized possessions, as they contain so many memories of Chad.

I don't care about the car or anything besides

Those hard drives!!! Pittsfield township police are doing everything they can to help. If anyone knows anything or finds anything, please call the Pittsfield tip line at 734-822-4958. We are offering a $500 reward for the return of those hard drives!!! No questions asked, we just want those memories back!!! Please if you know anything, or you find anything, please do the right thing. Those pictures and videos are all we have left of our son. Please!!"

There isnt anything else to do in the worst state ever

They are excited for sure...nothing else to do in the worst state ever.

 

He may have been hurt

When he left in the second he was favoring his wrist. May have contributed to him not returning.
