What safety concerns will the renovations address?
Modern stadiums serving 70,000 to 80,000 fans typically have two to three concourses with ramps, stairs, elevators, restrooms, first aid and concessions on each level. Michigan Stadium, serving more than 107,000 fans, currently has only one main concourse around the perimeter of the facility, with a smaller concourse embedded below the east stands. The renovations to Michigan Stadium will allow for additional concourses on the east and west sideline, which will mean expanding the number of entry and exit points to the stadium and improving the traffic flow. Along with wider aisles and the addition of handrails, these changes will make it easier for fans to get in and out of the stadium quickly and safely.
