Fans celebrate the return of Michigan football at chilly spring game

By Jeff Arnold

An estimated 35,000 fans braved Saturday's fall-like conditions at the annual Michigan spring football game at Michigan Stadium. The event raised $150,000 for Mott Children's Hospital in gate donations- an amount that was doubled thanks to a fund-matching effort by a Brighton family bringing the total donation to the Ann Arbor hospital to $300,000.
