Football in Ann Arbor is a pretty big deal – just ask any of the 100,000-plus passionate fans who show up on game day. They fill the streets, pack the pubs and grill in their favorite tailgate spots before heading over to the Big House, the iconic 95-year-old stadium, to cheer on their beloved Michigan Wolverines.

You too can be part of the tradition and pageantry of Michigan football. Get your tickets to see the defending Big Ten champions take the field for eight home games in 2022, including contests against rival Michigan State and perennial powerhouse Penn State. Be sure to get there early to secure a great tailgating spot or check out what others have cooking in some of the best tailgating areas located around the stadium.

Downtown Ann Arbor is also home to plenty of awesome bars, pubs and breweries that are perfect for super fans or those who just want to experience the excitement of big-time college football and sample some tasty craft beers and spirits. This helpful guide will set you on the right path for a legendary eating and drinking experience. And don't forget to snag a souvenir or some stylish Maize and Blue garb at one of the locally owned shops.

Enjoy the full game day experience
in a town that knows how to do it big.
