ANN ARBOR – The first game of the Michigan football season is set for Saturday and fans will be descending upon Michigan Stadium after nearly two years of no public access to games due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
With no capacity limits, it’s going to be a busy Saturday with that familiar sea of maize and blue shirts flowing through the city.
