Our experience at "The Big House"

We went to the game and had a great time. I have nothing but nice things to say about the Michigan fans. I've been to Columbia, Lawrence, Manhatten, the Big 12 title vs. Oklahoma and the Alamo Bowl. Columbia was by far the worst atmosphere we went to. Michigan is right near the top. GBR

 
Parking at a frat house? How could this make sense to a visiting fan? I had a great time at the Big House. Thought 95% of Michigan fans treated me exceptionally and the 5% that didn't were not that bad.

Ahh see there's the mistake...there are in fact no actual women in that state up north.

we got blessed to sit by a very unknowledgeable crowd, including listening to one guy constatly rant about the 1997 michigan team being bettter than nebraska, saying we had a loss? wherever he got that from, and he kept going on and on, any postitve play they had or pentalty against us he would yell "this is revenge, we won the title outright," he was an idiot, the stadium itself wasnt too loud, they got up on occasion on 3rd down and got into it, but not super loud, the student section was half full until about halftime when the kids finally started coming,
.../snip/...

Ann arbor was too dull, then we talked to some iowa fans on our way back home, they also said Ann arbor was one of their most boring trips to any BIG school.

You pretty much nailed it. The only part you missed...If you guys had been up a bunch at early the stadium would have been half empty AFTER half time.

For the most part (98%) Nebraska fans were welcomed and wished a enjoyable time, yep there is that 2% and they are in/around every stadium.

As far as the SWAT goes, actually that was a mild/reserved presentation. You should have seen the Notre Dame game where there was a threat, Heavily armed swat, 3 helo's at all times and snipers on the roof tops.

Bags have not been allowed in the stadium since 9/11.

I will issue a word of warning to Husker fans about traveling to certain B1G venues, BE CAREFUL! I have encountered the threat of violence at Michigan State, Wisconsin, Purdue and that place to the south. Seen vandalism of visiting team vehicles and of course the complimentary bags/cups of urine thrown.

Husker fans, those of you that visited were great people supporting your team, I applaud you. Lets hope we have some great games in the future.

 
That's really not anything new. The Big XII had several teams with fans well known for similar things where visiting fans didn't feel safe.
