Michigan Stadium

The History of Michigan Stadium

Officially opened in 1927, even back then, Michigan Stadium was one big boy. It had room for 72,000 fans right off the bat. We didn’t even think there were that many people in Ann Arbor back then, but what do we know? Every couple of decades, there would be more work done on this iconic stadium, and its capacity crept up over 100,000 starting in 1956, something that it continues to this day. The last major renovation was in 2010 when the field was rededicated after a $226 million rehab project that brought it squarely into the 21st century.
