Michigan Stadium renovations will respect tradition, character.
Planning is underway for renovations to Michigan Stadium that will improve the game-day experience for U-M football fans, athletic department officials say. But any changes—which will include the addition of enclosed seating in order to fund the project—will respect the tradition and character of the 78-year-old facility.
Tentative plans call for enclosed seating running the length of the east and west sides of the bowl. In addition, 1,200 new bench seats and 57,000 square feet of additional concourse would be added.
Michigan Stadium is the largest on-campus football facility in the nation with a capacity of 111,501.
