The confetti has settled and the nets have been cut down, but the celebration for the Michigan Wolverines' national championship is just getting started. The university has officially announced the details for a victory parade and celebration in Ann Arbor, giving fans a chance to honor their champions one more time.
Mark your calendars for Saturday, April 11th. The festivities will kick off at 10 a.m. with a street parade through campus, followed by a special indoor, ticketed event. It's the perfect opportunity for the Maize and Blue faithful to line the streets and show their appreciation for a historic season.
For those planning to attend, here's what you need to know. The parade will begin at the President’s House at 815 S. University Avenue. From there, the team and coaches will proceed down the iconic State Street, concluding the procession at Yost Ice Arena (1116 S. State St.).
The university is encouraging fans to gather along South University Avenue, between the President’s House and the Student Union, and all along State Street down to Yost to create a sea of maize and blue. Be aware that streets along the route will close at 8 a.m.
If you're driving in, plan to park in the campus structures. The university specifically recommends the parking structures on Forest Avenue and Maynard, Thayer, and Thompson streets. A full campus parking map is available online to help you plan your route.
This parade caps off an unforgettable run for Michigan basketball, a testament to the team's resilience and skill. Now, it's time for the fans to give them a final, roaring send-off fit for champions.
