Parade Magazine tours Michigan Stadium
Brief article from Parade Magazine of their experience during a guided tour of Michigan Stadium. The author visits some key areas and gives her impression of the experience. After reading this I may organize one of these for my company. Tours are fee based (very reasonable) and have to be scheduled in advance (link below). The #1 thing I would love to do is run the tunnel!

I cringe when anyone gets Michigan's colors wrong, as does this article. We are not blue and gold!
September 15th, 2016 at 7:49 AM ^
Additionally, I shudder when I hear people refer to Michigan as "Big Blue".
September 15th, 2016 at 8:09 AM ^
Very true. "Big Blue" is IBM (although University of Kentucky claims it informally).
September 15th, 2016 at 8:11 AM ^
Big Blue refers to the NY Giants.
September 15th, 2016 at 8:59 AM ^
I might as well show my age but Big Blue refers to him:

Is that a Blue Meanie???

It also undermines the author's claim that she is a "college footballl fanatic". Everyone knows our colors are Amarillo and blue!
September 15th, 2016 at 8:42 AM ^
Wait a second. I thought our colors are Yellow and Blue right?

I have taken my son’s class in a bus a couple of times and it is nothing short of fantastic (The trips only costed $5-$10 per person I believe). I will say the original trip was set-up when I texted Dave Brandon, he connected me with the right groups and set the trips up. First trip started out with gates opening to the Big House in north end of stadium and our bus pulling in. Toured the suites, press box, went on the field where the kids spent over half hour throwing football, taking pictures, and talking with Brady Hoke and staff. Then, off to locker room (fantastic). Jon Falk guided us in the locker room, kids went nuts over Denard’s locker (both the Michigan and MSU Kids), then back out to run the tunnel. From there, off to Chrisler where we were treated to John B. speaking to the kids (not planned, he was shooting baskets and came over to our group). He was amazing with the kids. Then, off to Schembechler for tour, then to Yost , then to the baseball/softball complex, and we finished touring the volleyball/wrestling facility. If you have kids and ever get a chance it is one of the most enjoyable things you can do- and they will remember it forever.

You want to have kids or you want to take the tour? ...or both?
September 15th, 2016 at 9:33 AM ^

- "Author hot or not?"

She kinda cute.
That she loves football and talked up the Wolverines seals it.

as a kid. Toledo Blade Sunday edition, 3x a year they'd have recruiting lists (preseasom AA, general update to HSAA list and Signing day). Straight 90s, homie

Parade has really gone downhill since the 90s.

I look forward to my Mom mentioning this after she gets her Parade magazine with her Sunday newspaper this weekend.

Right after she watches wilford Brimley give her a stern warning about the seriousness of diabeetus on network broadcast television.

Try the big house 5k in the spring. Its super cool to run through the tunnel, up the field and then touch the banner. I have done it the last two years and will try to do it every year from now on.
September 15th, 2016 at 1:08 PM ^
Agree, I've done it once, very fun.
