Michigan Stadium opened in 1927 and is the largest stadium in the United States, but you would not guess it from the car park: the bowl is dug into the ground, so from outside it reads as a low rim of concrete and only the sideline structures added in 2010 give away the scale. Everything is below you once you walk through the tunnel. The nickname the rest of the world uses came later and stuck harder than the official name ever did.

It is a bench-seat stadium of more than a hundred thousand people with almost no roof and no video wall big enough to distract anyone, which is why the noise here is a wall rather than a series of spikes. Kick-off is usually noon or mid-afternoon in the autumn; the sun crosses the west side first and the east stands hold the shade late in the season. The student section fills the south end and the band comes down the tunnel in front of it.

Because it is a single continuous bowl with no separate upper tier on the ends, the variable is not which deck you are on but how far up the same slope you sit. The lowest rows on the sidelines put you close but flatten the far side of the field; the middle third of the sideline is the classic view and the best compromise in the building. The top rows are genuinely high and the rake is severe up there, but the whole field stays readable because nothing overhangs it. The corners are the value pick, and what changes most between two corner sections is how much of the near end zone you keep.
