Upgraded cell coverage installed, to be tested; athletic department open to hosting more events at Big House

Submitted by Wolverine Devotee on

Not really important for me but others on here I'm sure.

Awhile ago a poster (sorry, forgot who it was) said Verizon and AT&T were installing cells in Michigan Stadium for better coverage.

Looks like it's true.

ALSO: The athletic department is open to hosting more non-football (and lacrosse) events at The Big House

“We don’t want to just casually pick up any event, but we absolutely want to be able to host major sporting events,” he said. “We want to be able to provide the fans of Michigan … with opportunities to see these types of events.

Like (Athletic Director Dave Brandon) has always talked about, entertaining fans, keeping them engaged is something you need to do in today’s day and age,” he said. “You want to provide them with some entertainment that makes it unique (and) that you can’t get on a television."

I don't shit in a hole in the ground anymore and wipe my ass with leaves either, what's your point? Cell phones are a modern convenience and useful tool in times of emergency we've come to expect over the last 20 years. It's about time the stadium caught up.

Fire Brandon. Until he lowers prices to the level non-doctors and lawyers can afford season tickets without sacrificing a kidney, I will NEVER support dave brandon.

Well now Brandon's job is done, he can resign knowing he turned Michigan athletics and put Michigan on solid ground for decades to come. So you may resign now............no really resign.
