1201 S. Main St. · Ann Arbor
Michigan Stadium.
A big part of home.
The Big House is a landmark, a gathering place, and part of the rhythm of Ann Arbor. Here’s a local look at the stadium and what to consider if you’re making a home nearby.
Get to know the Big House
An Ann Arbor landmark
A tradition that began in 1927.
Michigan Stadium has been home to University of Michigan football since its first game on October 1, 1927. Its official capacity is 107,601—an extraordinary scale for a place woven into the everyday map of Ann Arbor.
You’ll find it at Main Street and Stadium Boulevard. For longtime residents, newcomers, and returning alumni, the Big House can be a point of connection to the city. Our team’s photo here reflects that local connection: knowing a place means looking beyond the rooms inside a home.
Living around a landmark
Picture your everyday routine here.
A home search near the stadium starts with how you want to experience the area. These are useful questions to explore in person as you compare locations.
Visit on two different days
Walk or drive the area on an ordinary weekday and again around a stadium event. Compare the atmosphere, traffic and noise with the routine you want at home.
Check your actual routes
Try the routes you would use for work, groceries and other regular stops. Distance on a map is only one part of how a location works for you.
Look closely at parking
At each property, check driveway access and posted street restrictions. Ask specific questions about event days instead of assuming nearby parking will always be available.
Planning a visit
Know before you go.
Michigan Stadium isn’t open for walk-in tours or drop-in access. Guided visits are arranged through Michigan Athletics. For an event, check the official visitor guide for current entry, parking and accessibility information before heading out.
