Who we are
The 2025 season is almost here!
In just a couple of weeks, Team 146 will take the field, and we are excited to welcome you back to Michigan Stadium. We encourage you to read the sections below to find updated information on gate changes, theme games, gameday information, mobile tickets, and more.
COUNTDOWN TO KICKOFF
While all fans are encouraged to arrive early to avoid the large rush of fans trying to enter the stadium just before kickoff, there are a number of changes that have been made at the gates in an effort to create a smoother and more efficient entry process.
- Gate 3 (south end of the stadium) and Gate 9 (north end of the stadium) are now the ONLY bag exception gates for those with medical or childcare needs. Fans will be redirected to one of these locations if they arrive at any other gate seeking a bag exception. Please note that as a result of this change, Gate 9 is no longer a general public entry.
- Gate 7 is a new general public entry point and is located near the NW Tower, just south of Gate 8. While this is a smaller gate with fewer ticket scanning lanes, it serves as another entry option on the west side of the stadium.
- New signage has been added at the gates to help remind guests of our most important policies and procedures and to provide better directional assistance.
See the Michigan Stadium map below for more information.
