ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The University of Michigan is partnering with Tailgate Guys, the nation's leader in premium tailgate and event services. Starting this fall, Michigan donors and fans will have access to reserve turnkey, premium tailgate services that will be located on historic Ferry Field in the shadows of Michigan Stadium. The partnership was initiated to provide additional football tailgating opportunities and to create a tailgating community for the Wolverines fan base.
This new tailgate community will offer a variety of premium, turnkey tailgate options and an ability to host groups as small as five guests all the way up to large-scale offerings for 1,000-plus guests complete with catering, high-peak tents, tables with linens, media packages and more.
The partnership will be delivering unique offerings and a high level of service that the Michigan community has come to expect, but it will also be focused on driving innovation and enhancements as gameday needs and demands continue to evolve.
"Michigan Athletics did not take the process in establishing this partnership lightly, nor did we at Tailgate Guys," said Parker Duffey, president and CEO of Tailgate Guys. "The Big House is the biggest and best in college football, and the Michigan fans deserve the best. That's exactly what we deliver to our guests: the best. Can't wait to get this one started!"
Priority-based sales will begin on July 2, and sales will be available to the general public beginning July 16. Groups of all sizes can find additional information and reserve packages at www.tailgateguys.com/home/Michigan.
"We are thrilled to partner with Tailgate Guys for our new village," said Doug Gnodtke, executive associate athletic director. "Our fans know how special Ferry Field is to this university, and we believe it to be a great location for our community to gather and enjoy the tradition of a Michigan game day with a unique gameday experience."
