Archived News Release: August 26, 2015 - Main Street closures will again be in place during the 2015 University of Michigan football season. These closures will occur for all U-M home football games, beginning with the home opener Saturday, Sept. 12.
The scheduled closures are the same as those during the past several football seasons:

The westbound right-turn lane on East Stadium Boulevard (onto South Main Street) just south of the Michigan stadium.
The duration of these closures will be three hours prior to each game (i.e., beginning at 9 a.m. for the Sept. 12 noon game) until the end of each game.
