Visitor's Guide

 

In +1. This one is about 10 minutes from my house. I've had it circled on my calendar for a while. If you are coming to town for the game, check out nearby depot town in ypsi. There are a few cool little spots to grab food and beer.

Stick with the fish - not too many of those weekends left. On the other hand, consider the trip to K-Zoo in February for hoops when the lake is frozen.

Yep. Bobcats have been nearly the only ones on the visitors sidelines the times we've been there. They've got a nice BB+FB complex (joined together), and don't seem to have any fans to fill them.

Funny story, a few years ago they used to sell family coupon-packs of tickets, 10 ticket for $30. The tickets don't have any particular game on them, only gate entry, because they have no worries of selling out and having too many people redeem on a certain game. Worked out for us and some other Bobcat fans.

And of all of the times (3/4) I've been there for either hoops or FB, I don't think they even have ever had anyone there to take parking $. It's been a few years and they weren't breaking cinder-block walls with sledgehammers when I used to go, so maybe things are different now. But I'm not guessing too much has changed.

When we went to the basketball game last year, there was no charge for parking.

I've lived up here for about a year now. It doesn't seem that anyone cares much at all about the sporting programs. As mentioned, EMU is largely a commuter school. Add that on top of the fact that they are overshadowed by U of M which is maybe 5 miles away.
