University of Michigan Big House Hosts Record-Breaking Zach Bryan Concert

The University of Michigan's Michigan Stadium, known as the Big House, is hosting a historic, sold-out concert featuring Zach Bryan and special guest John Mayer, expected to attract over 100,000 fans and potentially become the largest ticketed concert in U.S. history. This event marks the stadium's first concert since 1987, when a smaller, free concert was held for high school students, and the first large-scale stadium concert ever. Fans from across the country are attending, creating significant traffic and parking challenges similar to those of major football games, with authorities urging attendees to plan ahead and exercise patience. Security measures will mirror those of football games, including bans on bags and chairs, and alcohol will be sold on-site. The concert setup included extensive preparations such as protective decking on the field and stage construction, with all policies designed to ensure safety and smooth operations. The event represents a major milestone for Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan, drawing widespread excitement and extensive coordination among local and state law enforcement agencies.
