2016 Spring Game likely April 9th
Not confirmed, but I'd say it's pretty likely. The Big House 5K has been announced for Sunday, April 10th.
Last year the 5K was originally scheduled for the day after the spring game, but the game was moved back a week to accomodate BTN's TV schedule. Had it stayed April 11th, both Michigan and OSU would be playing on the same day.
The year before however, the Big House 5K run was held the day after the spring stretchy punt exhibition.
This is likely the date of the spring game. OSU has already announced that theirs will be on the 16th.
84 days away.

The doctor did an outstanding job with that. I've been on a CPAP for over a year now. Can't sleep without it.

Couldn't go to the spring game last year. Don't want to miss it this year to see O'Korn and the other QBs do some dueling in the sun. Weather will be great because Harbaugh!

If it ends up being on April 9th, then it misses my wedding anniversary by one day, which I consider a near miss of sorts. That being said, there is a very good probability that the celebration for said anniversary (which would be our 12th) would fall on that day. The challenge then becomes incorporating the Spring Game and associated festivities into the day. Plenty of time to figure it out yet.

I had just recieved the email regarding the Bighouse 5K and was planning on signing up and make the trip from Chicago. Now...even more incentive to make it a long weekend in Ann Arbor. Yes!

You're probably thinking of Youth/Fan Day (which was held on a Thursday last year).

The date would not be ideal, as it's the Saturday that many people will be on spring break or traveling back from Spring Break, so the number of people who can attend will be less than would otherwise attend. The should move it back a week and have it always be AFTER the springbreak week, not during so that more people can attend.

i prefer the 9th, alot fo schhols have their game on the 16th including OSU, Penn State, ND, and Nebraska, not gonna get much shine on BTN on the 16th, Howver on the 9th we would get alot of shine.
MSU is the 23rd.
Plus a good road trip for the tigers opening weekend of baseball, 2 for the price of one in terms of road trips
i will assume Wisconsin is April 30 since the crazylegs classic is going to be April 30
