Not Allowed. All bags—including purses, clear bags, and fanny packs—are prohibited; only one approved medical or childcare bag per guest is allowed after inspection. Guests with medical or childcare needs (e.g., prescriptions, diapers) must enter through designated Bag Exception Gates—Gate 3 (south end) or Gate 9 West (north end)—to have the single bag inspected and tagged; suite-tower guests are inspected at their point of entry. Max quantity: 1 bag (medical/childcare exception only). Exceptions: Approved medical and childcare bags only

Allowed. A Bag Check service is available for guests who arrive with prohibited items, located inside the southeast entrance of Crisler Center off Stadium Way. Cash, alcohol, illegal drugs, food, cameras, video cameras, and weapons cannot be checked. Checked items must be claimed within 45 minutes after the game; unclaimed items are held 10 days before disposal.

Conditional. The fetched official page covers gameday logistics but not a parking rate table — secondary sources put season-permit-lot parking around $60/game ($480 for a 2026 season permit), Green Lot accessible parking at $55/game, and general game-day lots anywhere from $25-95 depending on proximity and demand. Most on-campus lots are season-permit only; single-game options are more limited. Ann Arbor's TheRide FootballRide shuttle runs on game days for $1.50 each way as a driving alternative. Sourced partly to secondary aggregators for the rate figures. Fee: $60/game season permit (per secondary sources); $55 accessible (Green Lot); $25-95 general range.
