I would suggest buying the ear radio at the game for $20.  You can listen to your own radio but you will have the delay. 

The radio you can buy at the game has no delay and works well.  If you want the play by play I would highly recommend this.

Unless you've listened to both?  There'd have to be some delay, if one signal is coming from the Stadium to the radio, and the other is going from the Stadium, to the Satellite, to the Radio Station, to the Satellite, and out over the area. It might not be much, or an acceptable amount (though the signal varies on FM and AM with the delay...they're not the same), but it's not non-existent. You can check on the radios there, because they play FM as well as the local signal. Now I'm going to have to check on Saturday....

Last year i used an iPhone radio app (Wunder Radio) to listen to the games.  Due to most stations in the local Ann Arbor area blacking out their internet streams on game day (ie, 1050 AM, 104.3 FM) it was difficult to find a station that broadcast the game online.  I think MGoBlue has exclusive rights to the online broadcast.  But I finally found one from Toledo that did (SuperTalk 1560 AM).  I tried to tune into that same station while I was in Colorado for a wedding but it was not covering the game anymore.  Anyone know of a radio station that broadcasts the game online?

104.3 FM and 1050 AM.   I haven't actually listened to the radio at the stadium before but 1050 is a local station so you should be able to get the signal clearly.

You won't be able to find it on the radio dial on Saturday, but for anyone interested, the boys at WCBN (88.3 FM Ann Arbor) put on an entertaining show on football Saturdays.  The stream can be found online.  Additionally, tune in M-Th from 6-6:30 on 88.3 FM in AA and online at wcbn.org for student sports talk!

104.3 has a good FM signal. If you're around for awhile after, 1050 has call in talk after the post game that is on both stations. But at the game, I do like the radios they sell. Not having that delay is nice, and they just hook on your ear and don't get in the way. Before those I used to bring one with the sponge covered ear bud, but the cord would always get hooked on something when getting up and down, or go flying after a big play. (I just have to remember to send the stupid radio in to get reprogrammed so I don't buy a new one every year).

I was in the car for the ND game and found it on Sirius 127. I never listen to the game on the radio so i thought "this is cool if I'm in the car in the future."  But alas that isn't a regular UM sports channel. I'm driving from Jersey to Albany this Sat and it looks like no game for me. There isn't some national channel out there that anyone knows of is there?
