Game Day/ Weekend events
We recently acquired tickets to our first game at Michigan Stadium vs. Bowling Green, we are flying in from Oregon. We were wondering if anyone knows, or could direct us to a schedule of events occurring the Friday before and on game day (player walk from Crisler Arena (approximate time prior to kickoff) to the stadium, band march to the stadium, how early before kick off you can enter the stadium, post game activities, etc.) You guys always have the answers.

Player march is 2 hrs prior to kickoff. You can enter stadium roughly around that time but there is absolutely zero reason to enter until an hour, hour and a half max, before kickoff. post-game is no more than a mad rush to the highway. if you can describe "we" better, people/I could probably help you with your activities better.

You have to see it! The walk is approx. 2 hours prior to kickoff. I hope you have a great trip and enjoy your time in AA.

There will be 3 of us attending, myself age 49 and my two sons ages 24 and 19.

You guys will want to hit the pre-game parties along State
Might I also suggest your post game of either volleyball hosting Minnesota or men's soccer hosting Ohio State. Volleyball should be a marquee game in conference, and soccer christens their new stadium this season. Both should be entertaining.

I cant suggest the volleyball game enough. We have a great team and the games are always a blast. Plus, if it's just you and your sons I'm sure you'll find the "atmosphere" at the game quite enjoyable.
I will be taking my fiancee to her first Michigan game for the Bowling Green game too! I didn't think about it but having her see the Victors Walk would be really great. Where does it take place? I've never seen it either.
They walk from Schembechler Hall across the parking lot to the East Entrance of the stadium.

I have to correct this - the team gets on buses at the team hotel which is the Campus Inn and the buses drop them off on the outer road that goes around the Crisler Lot and they have a straight walk from the outer road to the tunnel of the Stadium. If you get there about 2.5 hours before kick off you will be sure not to miss it.
The band does their step show on the steps of Revellie Hall 90 minutes before game time. Revellie Hall is across from Elbel Field a bit north of stadium.

There is no 'e' at the end.
But yes, this is a must.

If you're the early riser type you can catch some or all of the MMB's morning practice at Elbel Field. I'm not sure what time kickoff is for BG, but we start at 7:30 for noon kickoffs and 9 for 3:30 kickoffs.
