Michigan Stadium with a roof Concept
This is my last Minecraft concept of Michigan Stadium expanded. Thanks for all the support on these. It may not be by any means realistic, but I think it's pretty cool nontheless. Here is the link to the video:

Wasn't expecting it to look like Indy's but otherwise, nice.
September 7th, 2020 at 8:59 AM ^
Really well done! I like the way that the original stadium is incorporated into the framework of the new buildings. The design almost made it seem like Al Glick Fieldhouse. It does lose the stadium’s connection to the rest of the city though. You can’t see the campus sprawling behind it or any of Ann Arbor’s nature which is a shame.
On a side note, I faintly remember that there were talks of updating the scoreboards on the stadium. Does anyone know when that was supposed to happen? I’m assuming it will be pushed off now because of budget concerns from this year, but just asking for a timeline.

[Redacted. This post was so dumb that blog administrators were concerned a significantly high proportion (over 1%) of people who read it would have an aneurysm.]

The team is still in Ann Arbor practicing, working out and getting tested regularly. They haven't been abandoned by the school.
September 7th, 2020 at 10:52 AM ^
I honestly don’t think you realize how stupid this is. The players aren’t in a bubble. They have the same risk as all the other students. Also, they’re still under the same care they’ve been under all summer. Also, during the summer they had scant contact with other students so it was easy to control infections. Also, amateur athletes shouldn’t be playing a contact sport for your entertainment during a pandemic that requires social distancing. Notice that no other sports are playing. Are you in grade-school? Do you still need Such things explained to you? Stop being so selfish.
September 7th, 2020 at 11:58 AM ^
So much stupid in one post.
September 7th, 2020 at 1:34 PM ^
Not only so much dumb in one post, so much "swing and a miss" in one dumb post.
Please tell me there is a spectacular reason you went here, because what the point system giveth is something that myself and others can certainly take away....

Start a new post instead of trolling on a nice, positive post.
September 7th, 2020 at 9:50 PM ^
Dudes coming in here hot blowing up the Minecraft vibe
September 7th, 2020 at 9:24 AM ^
This is beautiful. The attention to detail is remarkable. It is also fitting that the stadium is completely empty on a beautiful day. It gives it a realistic 2020 feel.
Awesome job, and thank you for sharing!
September 7th, 2020 at 9:24 AM ^
will the roof keep the covid out?
interesting and detailed. nice work.
i wonder though if sports attendance will have truly reached an apex and start down hill when things open up, never to return to the levels we've been accustomed to. at least some programs, even big time programs, were experiencing drop offs in attendance. even with the eventual passing of covid, will football/basketball/hockey experience somewhere between a slight to a catastrophic drop in attendance?

Had that very discussion last night with my OSU buddy who used to attend EVERY Buckeye game, home and away.
I told him I did the same thing for Michigan from 87 - 2014 but once I stopped, I really never looked back. I'm asking myself the same thing about the Browns to be honest. Not sure if or when ill go back and definitely not sure if I'm going to spend the huge dollars to be in one of the private clubs.
It's going to be interesting to see what happens. I'll bet for every hard core "cant wait to get back in" fan there's a corresponding number of people like me who have found out watching games on TV is just fine and a shit-ton cheaper!
September 7th, 2020 at 11:08 AM ^
Also don't have to deal with the crowds, you can order/make whatever food you want, you have plenty of seating and its more comfy than the stadium seats, and you can use your own bathroom!
September 7th, 2020 at 11:12 AM ^
and the thought is that covid will accelerate that pre-covid trend and reasoning, possibly a lot.
September 7th, 2020 at 1:16 PM ^
I'm thinking the same thing, at least about attending games. Paying close to $300 per ticket times four after the mandatory donation and then losing to OSU by a large margin on a cold Saturday in late November is starting to lose its appeal. We might attend a few early season games that are inexpensive and comfortable and tickets can always be had at the last minute when one has a reasonably good idea of what the weather will be.

With multiple kids in multiple fall sports, I can't even watch games live unless they are a night game. And now I struggle to watch games live, as I hate to listen to a lot of the announcers and to sit through all the commercials. I have been able to avoid most results before I watch too. I still do enjoy going to a game if possible with my kids, but now have been spoiled with getting some club seats for a game from a supplier that makes it way more reasonable to take my younger kids.
Still special to go, but it is hard to argue that going and sitting on a bench, squeezed in, is better than watching in high definition.
September 7th, 2020 at 10:43 AM ^
No, the roof keeps the rona IN! Lol.
September 7th, 2020 at 11:10 AM ^
i know, i was just having some fun. apparently some folks are a little thin-skinned about it though....
September 7th, 2020 at 11:23 AM ^
People are a little thin-skinned in general lately!
September 7th, 2020 at 12:11 PM ^
Says the guy who's first post back after a break was complaining about how toxic the board is and then quickly devolved into conspiracy theories about the fatality count of Covid.
September 7th, 2020 at 12:50 PM ^
i don't know how people that are that sensitive get through life. show me anything i posted that was 'toxic'. and in case you don't remember, 'toxic' does not mean - might not think exactly like you.
September 7th, 2020 at 12:27 PM ^
I really hadn't noticed.
Is there a chasmous divide between the attitudes and foci of certain members of our society today?
Yup.
September 7th, 2020 at 5:32 PM ^
It depends on what the AD’s and Conference leadership decide to focus on. If they prioritize the game day in stadium experience, you will see full stadiums. If they continue to cater everything to the TV audience you will see more people watching on TV. I think we all know they want their cake and eat it too so I expect we will get some horrific hybrid which ruins both experiences.
September 7th, 2020 at 9:30 AM ^
I agree “pretty cool nonetheless”
September 7th, 2020 at 10:00 AM ^
That is absolutely fantastic! I'm not a mine craft player so I don't know how you actually build something like that within the game but absolutely amazing. Would have also been cool to see what it looks like with the lights on.
September 7th, 2020 at 10:18 AM ^
It looks nice, but I am not an in door football fan. Maybe I am showing my age and this will be the way of the future. I think of Syracuse, Atlanta and Indy and none of those come close to outdoor football. Just my opinion.
September 7th, 2020 at 11:12 AM ^
An honest-to-goodness football cathedral! Very impressive!
September 7th, 2020 at 11:14 AM ^
Given the $100M shortfall in the Athletic budget this year and 21 layoffs, it appears that the "arms race" has really cooled off. Unless Mr Glick and Mr Ross cough up another few hundred million bucks, it won't happen.
September 7th, 2020 at 11:30 AM ^
Congrats—I know literally zero about Minecraft, but it looks like you've mastered the app and no doubt you've put in quite a bit of time and effort getting to the fluency you display in it.
That said, indoor football is an abomination and putting any kind of roof on Michigan Stadium is a horrible idea.
September 7th, 2020 at 11:31 AM ^
Cool. Thanks.
September 7th, 2020 at 11:54 AM ^
It's missing those little fuckers with the axes.
September 7th, 2020 at 11:57 AM ^
Amazing work, even down to the night view.
September 7th, 2020 at 12:01 PM ^
Cool as hell! Would love this so much.
September 7th, 2020 at 12:03 PM ^
Looks awesome! The attention to detail is great. The outside and roof do remind me of Lucas Oil in Indianapolis, which I like. This would be pretty great to have available for games during Michigan falls and winters.
September 7th, 2020 at 12:04 PM ^
Cool ?
September 7th, 2020 at 12:22 PM ^
That's pretty cool. I like the look at night especially.
September 7th, 2020 at 12:33 PM ^
Football was meant to be played in under roofs where the only light is florescent and the only breeze from giant, expensive air conditioning units. What is better on a lovely autumn day than to go inside for a few hours? Also, when the weather is so bad people would be happier inside, since they didn't have to ever encounter the weather to get to the dome.
(Hint: My favorite game ever attended was against Purdue in 1995)
September 7th, 2020 at 12:42 PM ^
what? no halo?

good stuff thanks for posting
September 7th, 2020 at 1:26 PM ^
Looks like a shit ton of work, awesome job! Thanks for sharing
September 7th, 2020 at 1:29 PM ^
Scrap the roof option. Michigan football is meant to be played in all type of weather. We are not afraid to get wet, have snow fall on us, or to be cold!
September 7th, 2020 at 1:37 PM ^
Unlike the cowardly Lions.
September 7th, 2020 at 1:38 PM ^
Very nice work, but God help me I love football in the snow!
September 7th, 2020 at 1:46 PM ^
Super cool. Maybe I won't get the Section 7 one-sided sunburn!
September 7th, 2020 at 2:05 PM ^
honestly this is awesome and if something like this were ever done, finally, UM stadium would be LOUD
September 7th, 2020 at 2:13 PM ^
Very well done. I really like the view at the 1:20 mark coming out of the upper concourse overlooking the stadium.
September 7th, 2020 at 3:48 PM ^
Good work. Do not like the idea tho
September 7th, 2020 at 3:59 PM ^
But did you do it in survival mode? Jk, this is so cool, even in creative mode I’m never that creative or nearly as talented.
September 7th, 2020 at 5:38 PM ^
If you shoot a cow with a flaming arrow on the 50 yard line do you get a well done steak? Asking for Harbaugh and my son.
September 7th, 2020 at 6:03 PM ^
Elegant design. Fits well with the rest of the athletic campus.
