Why Michigan Tailgate Groups Choose Unlimited Charters
The Big House Access
Direct experience with Michigan Stadium parking, The Golf Course and Pioneer High School lots, and the charter-lot rules. We've dropped groups at Gate 10 or Gate 5 more times than we can count.
Book 10-12 Weeks Out
Michigan rivalry games (Ohio State (The Game), prime-time matchups, bowl/CFP weekends) sell out the tailgate-grade vehicle pool 10-12 weeks in advance. Lock in early.
Licensed & Insured
Every chauffeur CDL-licensed, every vehicle DOT-inspected and commercially insured. Certificate of insurance available for corporate suite groups and season-ticket-holder blocks.
Dispatch on Game Day
Real person on the phone if pickup runs late, if I-94 backup from Detroit traffic backs up, if the post-game lot empty-out takes 2 hours instead of 1. We adjust the booked hours in real time.
Cargo + Climate Control
Real cargo space for coolers, grills, tents, cornhole. Climate control for Ann Arbor, MI weather — 85° opener or 20° late-season. Sound system to keep Michigan energy up on the drive.
8- to 12-Hour Package Pricing
Standard Michigan game-day package covers pre-game tailgate, in-stadium hours, and post-game (add hours for a sports-bar detour). All-in price = driver, fuel, insurance, gratuity, taxes. No surprises.
About Michigan Wolverines Tailgate Transportation
The Michigan Wolverines home game at Michigan Stadium is one of the great college football experiences — and it gets exponentially better when the crew arrives together, the coolers stay cold, and nobody has to designate a sober driver at Michigan's home game. A Michigan tailgate party bus solves the three problems every group organizer hits: The Big House parking that runs $60-100+ per car (more on Ohio State (The Game) weekends), designated-driver selection (nobody in a group of loyal Michigan fans wants to skip the beer), and the post-game rideshare cluster when I-94 backup from Detroit traffic hits surge-pricing hell.
Unlimited Charters operates a vetted network of party-bus and charter carriers with direct experience at Michigan Stadium. Whether you're a 14-person work crew, a 30-person fantasy reunion, a 40-person corporate suite group, or a 56-person motor coach for a divisional rivalry/bowl weekend — we've moved the crew, we know The Golf Course and Pioneer High School lots, and we know where to drop you at Gate 10 or Gate 5 without the walk.
Michigan Stadium — Tailgating & Stadium Info
Stadium: Michigan Stadium (The Big House), Ann Arbor, MI. Home to the Michigan Wolverines with ~7 home games per season (plus rivalry/bowl weekends).
Tailgate lots: The Golf Course lot, Pioneer High School, Ross Athletic Campus — every parking option is a serious walk to the stadium. The premier tailgate scene is at The Golf Course and Pioneer High School lots — fills 5-6 hours before kickoff for regular-season games, 10+ hours before Ohio State (The Game) rivalry games.
Game-day traffic: I-94 backup from Detroit, US-23 south, and the Main Street funnel into campus. Post-game exit typically takes 60-90 minutes to clear. Your driver knows the back-way routes.
Best drop-off/pickup gate: Gate 10 or Gate 5 for pre-game walk-in, and the same gate area for post-game pickup — we coordinate the specific spot with your group leader 48 hours before kickoff.
Fan culture note: The Big House is the largest stadium in America (107,600) — Michigan tailgating at the Golf Course is the biggest Big Ten scene short of Ohio State, with maize-and-blue-clad alums from every generation.

Group Sizes That Make Sense for Michigan Tailgates
- 14-passenger executive Sprinter — small work crew, family group, Parents-Weekend crowd. $1,400-$2,000 all-in.
- 20-passenger party bus — friend group, small fantasy league, small corporate suite. $1,900-$2,600.
- 30-passenger party bus — the most-booked size for Michigan tailgates. Fantasy reunions, big work groups, bachelor parties. $2,400-$3,200.
- 40-passenger mini-coach — extended family + friends, big corporate group. $2,800-$3,400.
- 45-passenger sorority/fraternity bus — full Greek chapter for Homecoming. $2,600-$3,200.
- 56-passenger motor coach — biggest Michigan groups; per-person math wins big at this size ($50-60/person). $2,400-$3,200.
Per-person math: a 30-person group splitting a $2,700 party bus pays $90/person — usually cheaper than $60-100 parking + Uber both ways with surge pricing.
