Skip the parking scramble
Most fans drive to Ann Arbor and park in one of the many lots surrounding the stadium, with prices ranging from $25 to $60 depending on proximity. The golf course lots off Stadium Boulevard are popular and within a 10-minute walk. Rideshare works but expect heavy surge pricing and significant delays post-game; set your pickup pin several blocks from the stadium. The University of Michigan also runs shuttle buses from remote lots, and Ann Arbor's TheRide bus system offers limited service on game days. Walking from downtown Ann Arbor takes about 20 minutes and is the most stress-free option.
