Michigan issues special ticket for UConn game, Michigan Stadium rededication
By AnnArbor.com Staff
The Michigan athletic department issued a special ticket for this season's home opener against UConn.
Michigan football season ticket holders have a potential souvenir. Season tickets went out this week and the ticket for the Sept. 4 home opener against UConn features a shot of the Michigan Stadium gates and a logo for the rededication of the revamped stadium.
The ticket is 7 inches by 3 1/4 inches, larger than the normal 5 1/2 x 2 1/4 tickets for the rest of the home games.

Great story Portage...just touching that Michigan flag, knowing the history - history's best team ever, gives me a thrill. This year, in tribute to RichRod and the teams most fantastic year of 2010, we have decided to hang it up on the door to the garage - every time we leave the house we slap it a big one, now that is a story for Michigan Faithful....my neighbor has a osu and msu floor mat near his door, steps all over it and wipes his feet on it when he comes and goes - just like Wolverine football.....priceless....

Yesterday I got out the big ol Mich. flag, dusted it off a bit and then my wife and I went out to dinner. Now to me that's an important story.

I noticed that right away when I got my tickets. But, really the only thing that matters to me is that we win the game. The ticket could be as big as a bed sheet for all I care (altough that would probably be hard to hold under the scanner at the gate!)

If ANY of these tickets have Our King pictured on them, look out! Just keeping a handful of these tickets will enable one to retire in time after Our King wins about a dozen National Championships or so. Long Coach The King

3&Out Actually, That could make the ticket worth something.

This commerative ticket could lose most of its luster if the game ends up as a 34-28 loss as Im forseeing.

So the ticket will be worth something in a few years, as long at the stubs arent ripped off. Kinda like a stamp, no value once they've been canceled (Except for a few rare pieces). So make sure to stay home kiddies, listen to those ABC Announcers laugh and call all of Rodriguez's plays, dont be there for "The Horrah".

I think these tickets are great, although, I think a "King Dedication" theme would have been more appropriate. Long Coach The King
