Severe Weather May Delay Gates For UTEP Game

Michigan Athletics officials are monitoring severe weather conditions that could delay gate openings for Saturday's football match against UTEP at Michigan Stadium. Scheduled to begin at 3:30 p.m., the event is set with gates opening at 1:30 p.m., but delays remain possible depending on lightning and storm severity. Fans are advised to monitor official channels via MGoBlue.com, social media, mobile apps, or radio broadcasts for updates regarding gate times and parking availability. If closures occur, attendees should stay in vehicles or safe indoor locations rather than traveling to the venue before officials announce reopening. Officials also warned that cellular service near Michigan Stadium may be limited as crowds arrive, meaning text messages and app notifications might not reach all devices promptly. Additionally, weather could impact traffic patterns, shuttle operations, and pedestrian routes around the stadium. Parking lots and travel times are expected to face potential disruptions due to these conditions.
