Would private luxury boxes undermine the game day experience of most fans?
Yes. Building towering luxury box structures would cast significant shadows over the stands and playing field much earlier in the game, much earlier in the season – a significant degradation of the stadium’s traditional sunny, open atmosphere. Building boxes would also cast long shadows over the egalitarian values which U-M has always championed. For 126 years now – whether at Regents Field, Ferry Field or in Michigan Stadium – the Maize-and-Blue faithful have stood together, shivered together, cheered together and won together, side by side. Private luxury boxes represent the very antithesis of that tradition, dividing Michigan fans by income and undermining the unity, excitement and camaraderie that Michigan fans of all ages and backgrounds share as they experience the game together. In short, the proposed private luxury boxes just aren’t “Michigan.
