“This is an exciting moment for Big Boy” said Tamer Afr, CEO of Big Boy Restaurant Group, in a release. “We know many of the fans at Michigan Stadium are also longtime fans of Big Boy. We are excited to reintroduce them to our menu, and also give them a taste of what we offer at all of our locations across the region.”
Fans can order from a menu of classics, like the Big Boy burger and Slim Jim sandwich, or shakes and waffle fries, starting on Saturday, Sept. 2.
They can also take selfies with a larger-than-life Big Boy statue dressed in the Wolverines’ maize and blue colors.
