The new view from high in Michigan Stadium
By Melanie Maxwell
The media was invited to Michigan Stadium to tour the facility and see the progress made on the recent renovations. Naturally, the new press box space caught the eye of the reporters. Photos: Melanie Maxwell | AnnArbor.com

The stadium, sport programs, and patrons, will greatly benefit from these improvements. U of M stadium will be a significant, modern venue worthy of World Cup Championship caliber events. Kudos to Mr. Martin for his foresight, diligence, and work ethic!

Slideshow is neat; good use of online technology. Looks like the reporters had a lark going up there. But really, the view of the field is so laughably poor that I have to think that if you shell out the cash for those silly boxes it really isn't about the game anymore.

Bbf and Jeff - You must realize by now that the only way you'll see a real view from the top of the new addition is to purchase one a game ticket $$$.

Our photographer is working on a Flickr gallery with more than a couple dozen photos and should have it posted shortly.

Is this the only picture that you're going to post? Shouldn't an article titled "The new view from high in Michigan Stadium" show us the new view from high in Michigan Stadium?
