Went 2x under Schembechler......1x under Carr. All 3 games were against Sister Mary's School for the Blind since that's all we could afford. Still, massive crowds.
Tailgating is top notch and is as good as anywhere. The sea of people is overwhelming.....it's really awe inspiring. Michigan is a school that's for the wealthy and intelligent....so the fans generally are similar. Because of this you don't have quite the white-trashery that you'd expect from places like UT-Knoxville, but obviously there are still plenty of them around.
From the outside the stadium looks small. Much of it is dug into the ground, so from the outside it doesn't look tall. It's a HUGE stadium though, but it's shaped like a shallow bowl. So, if you sitting in the last row at the highest level (there's no upper deck) you aren't that high above the field.......but you are a mile away from it. Contrast this to Neyland Stadium where you stare down from up on high when in the nose-bleed sections. Because of the shape of the stadium, it's not all that loud. Don't get me wrong, 100k+ people are loud, but the stadium doesn't lock the sound in like Neyland or Death Valley.
