Michigan Stadium buzzed with anticipation Saturday as Team debuted at the free Maize vs. Blue Spring Game, offering fans a first glimpse of Sherrone Moore’s roster ahead of the season. The noon kickoff drew crowds early, with gates opening at AM to accommodate high turnout.
Key Highlights
Five-star freshman tackle Andrew Babalola headlined the event as the Maize team’s surprise first draft pick, signaling confidence in the rookie’s potential despite veteran competition at left tackle. The intrasquad scrimmage featured four quarters of live action, with rosters split to showcase depth at critical positions.
Logistics Recap
Parking near the stadium was limited due to concurrent events, but free options included Maize lots on S. State Street and city structures north of the venue. Concessions operated cashless, with alcohol available at designated stands.
The game will air April on Big Ten Network via tape delay, leaving fans who missed the live action to speculate about breakout performances until broadcast. With no major construction limiting seating, the full stadium welcomed attendees for the first time since renovations.
