2009 Football Traffic and Parking Update
Parking Information for Football Game Days
UPDATE FOR SATURDAY, OCT. 24 Parking Update: Golf Course In order to create more parking opportunities around Michigan Stadium, the Athletic Department has created an additional parking area on the University of Michigan Golf Course. This area will be accessible off of Main Street and parking will be available on a weather permitting basis in the rough area between Holes 14, 15, and 16. This area is a short walk from Michigan Stadium and offers a fantastic tailgating opportunity for fans. Spots are first-come/first-serve and will be available beginning at 7:30 a.m. for a cost of $30. Golf course parking is also available off State Street. Reference the above parking map to see points of entry. Traffic Update: Stadium Blvd. Bridges Michigan Football Fans who use Stadium Blvd. as an entry or exit point into Ann Arbor on their trip to Michigan Stadium should be aware of an important change in traffic patterns. The Stadium Blvd. Bridge that extends over State St. has been narrowed to one lane each way due to structural concerns about the bridge span. This will impact and reduce vehicular flow both prior to and after the game. Fans should consider different points of road entry to the Michigan Stadium area in order to avoid the traffic congestion. The spans are checked and tested on a consistent basis and this shutdown could change dependent upon the results of those test. Please check back to this page for the most up-to-date information. Parking Update: Guests with a Disability In the past, the athletic department was able to use the "Triangle Lot" that runs adjacent to Stadium Boulevard for an additional area for accessible parking. This parking area is actually owned by Ann Arbor Golf and Outing and is not controlled by the University. Unfortunately, for the 2009 football season, the "Triangle Lot" will no longer be available to us. Accordingly, there will be no parking available in the We have expanded the accessible parking area immmediately beyond the triangle area in the blue lot and you will be directed there for parking upon entering the blue lot. Please remember that after parking in the Blue Lot handicapped area you may take advantage of the shuttle service running from the bus shelter in the blue lot to the stadium. |
