The Complete Guide to Staying Near Michigan Stadium

Alex DeCamp • April 3, 2026

Michigan Stadium is the largest stadium in the United States. On game day, 107,000 people converge on Ann Arbor. Where you stay relative to that stadium shapes your entire experience.

Stadium Suites at 830 Henry Street is half a mile from Michigan Stadium. Ten to fifteen minutes on foot. On game day, that means no parking search, no shuttle wait, and a quiet walk home while 100,000 fans sit in traffic.

The property has eleven townhomes. Private bedrooms with ensuite baths, a full kitchen, shared living area, and a business center in the basement. Self check-in via smart lock. Groups up to 12.

Hotels near Michigan Stadium are generally 1-2 miles away and charge game-day premiums. A group of 8 needs 2-4 hotel rooms at $200-400 each. One Stadium Suites townhome handles the whole group with more space and a kitchen.

Nearby dining: Zingerman's Deli, Frita Batidos, Jolly Pumpkin, Spiedo, and Big City Small World Bakery. Kerrytown Market District and Main Street are walkable.

Michigan Stadium hosts more than football. Summer concerts and university events draw similar crowds. For any large event, being half a mile away beats two miles.

Visiting U-M Health System? Where to Stay in Ann Arbor

By Alex DeCamp • April 3, 2026
Stadium Suites is about 10 minutes by car from the U-M Health System on a normal day, 15-20 minutes during peak traffic. If your medical stay will be longer, ask about our Sunset property, which is closer to the hospital complex.  Every suite has a private bedroom with ensuite bath, a full kitchen for preparing meals, and a business center in the basement with desks and coffee. Self check-in via smart lock means no lobby coordination around medical appointment schedules.  A full kitchen matters during medical visits. You can prepare meals on your schedule without relying on hospital cafeteria food or restaurant runs between appointments. Stock groceries once and eat when it works for you.  The business center is available around the clock. If you need to work remotely during a family member's treatment, or simply need a quiet space away from the living area, it's there.  We understand these stays are often stressful. The goal is simple: comfortable, private accommodations that stay out of your way while you focus on what matters.  Book at stadiumsuitesmi.com or call 734-821-6999. For extended medical stays, email support@greatstays.co to discuss options.
