Anyone been to the "Big House" (U of M stadium)?

DH B-day is coming up and I thought I would get him tickets..I have a chance to get him inzone tickets. Just wondering if they are decent seats.And I also heard that they aren't really seats...more like benches...Is this true??
Thanks!

Re: Anyone been to the "Big House" (U of M stadium)?

  • Yes! Only small tight spaces on benches. And it is awesome!

    I love the atmosphere, the band is amazing! The drum major comes in at the beginning in a spectacular way. Really - it is so much fun even if you aren't into football. There is nothing like a game at the Big House.

  • We went to a game a few years ago, before the big remodel. The seats were benches an they squeeze about three people into a space designed for one. Prepare to rub shoulders with your neighbors.
  • I've been to a few games.  A couple with my grandparents and 1 with friends where I got into the student section.

    And this die-hard State fan can tell you, it is AWESOME!  I feel bad that I haven't gotten to Spartan stadium.  But I digress.

    Depending on the section, you may not sit down much.  The students don't sit.  When I was with my grandparents we were at the south end zone and we did sit.  I don't remember it being a tight squeeze for sitting room.

  • My dad had season tickets in section 7 for 30 years.  I've been to my fair share of games.   You'll be able to see just fine in the end zone.  And, like you've been  warned: tight squeeze.

  • Cool!  This was a BIG help thanks!!!!!!  I like college football, but not pro.  DH is a die hard UofM fan.  He actually was to go there...then other circumstances came up and that dream didn't happen.  I can't wait to give him the tickets...lets just hope I can keep my mouth shut for three weeks!!

    He is a bigger guy...and I hated to do this..but I bought three tickets for the two of us.  I had heard that the seating was tight...but I didn't know after the remodel is the seating changed.

    Thank you so much for all of your help! :0)
