EMU Golf Course Parking - Open?
Does anyone know the status of the Golf Courses? Weather has been clear on the West side of the state but it was also all last week and Ann Arbor got dumped on all that week.
Id rather park on the UofM (edited) Course for $30 dollars then be stuck behind pioneer for $40.

course has always been $40 for me. Don't know if theres a difference between Ann Arbor Golf & Outing Club and Ann Arbor Golf Course. AAGOC is directly across the stadium and $40.

AAGOC is $40 and the UofM course is $30. UofM is much better as they give you much more space and you can pretty much park where you'd like.

Technically it illegal to have alcohol at UM and Pioneer. Okay at AAGOC.

But having tailgated at PiHi for the first time last week -- for 9 hours -- I never saw a cop, much less any enforcement of this policy. Bottle scavengers made a killing, I might add. PiHi/AAPS would be stupid to enforce it, as no one would park there anymore (at least no one who enjoys a tasty cocktail) and they would lose that income. I suspect it's more of a CYA issue than anything else.

I would imagine the course would be open. It has been nice in Ann Arbor for the past week. But there is always the possibility of the courses not drying out from last week.

Almost a guarantee it's open. All the alcohol you can drink. There's a lot of places you aren't "technically" supposed to have alcohol but nobody inforces it. It's a TAILGATE!
GO BLUE!

I'm just taking a wild guess here, but alcohol seems to be important to you.

Not as important as you think. I'm not a big drinker but before a Michigan game or up on Higgins Lake you can always find me slamming the sauce.

From an annarbor.com article:
Both the Ann Arbor Golf and Outing Club and University of Michigan Golf Course expect to be open for parking during Saturday’s game against Eastern Michigan University.
The 2 golf courses were closed last week for the Notre Dame game after a massive rain storm swept through the area.
Phil Anderson, a U-M Golf Course Pro Shop employee, said that unless a similar storm comes through Saturday morning, tailgaters will be able to use the course once again.
There's no rain in the forecast, so the golf courses should be open for parking.
EDIT: Forecast now says "chance of sprinkles" tonight, but that shouldn't be an issue.

I assume the EMU golf course parking lot will be open. They weather looks like it'll be very suitable for golf. The course may be less busy than usual, however, as the EMU football team will be playing down the road in Ann Arbor. As always, parking should be free.
