Michigan's Athletic Department says it is thanking its fans for loyal support and wants to provide them with a price break at the ticket booth this fall. Wolverine fans will pay on average almost $4 less a ticket in 2009.It is a nice gesture considering Ohio State and Michigan State announced each will raise ticket prices this fall. Let's be realistic, though. The Buckeyes and Spartans have a much better product to put out on the field next season.
UM is smack dab in the middle of the nation's economic crisis. The auto industry is floundering and Michigan residents are losing jobs at alarming rate. So the fan base may be loyal and large, but they are broke.
But this also feels like the AD is saying thanks to the fans for coming to those crappy games last fall as the Wolverines lost more games than any other time in their history and they are losing confidence in RichRod.
So for $50 you can see Michigan open the season Sept. 5 against Western Michigan.
