Would the proposed private luxury boxes undermine the historic architecture of America’s quintessential, classic stadium?
Yes. While many other institutions have chosen to alter their stadiums with private luxury boxes, none started out with the famously understated, classic subterranean bowl that Michigan fans have known and loved since 1927. Adding towering banks of private luxury boxes will radically alter the unique, historic fabric of this iconic structure and leave arch-rival Notre Dame with America’s only major stadium completely free of advertising and luxury boxes. We might ask: does Notre Dame value its tradition more than Michigan? The fact that Michigan Stadium is one of the very last of its kind makes protecting its traditional form and character all the more important.
