Food & Drinks
The scene around Hoover Street and Main Street features food trucks, live music, and a festive maize-and-blue sea of humanity.

Timing & Arrival
Walk down State Street toward campus for a more bar-centric pregame at iconic spots like The Scorekeeper, Good Time Charley's, or Fraser's Pub.

PRO TIP
Grab a Blimpy Burger at Krazy Jim's (or its successor) — it's an Ann Arbor gameday rite of passage.
