Zach Bryan’s Sold-Out Big House Concert to Draw 100,000-Plus

City officials report months of preparation to manage traffic, security, stadium rules.

Overview

  • The Sept. 27 show at Michigan Stadium is sold out, with police citing more than 100,000 attendees and one outlet reporting 119,000 tickets, and media have projected it could challenge a U.S. record for a ticketed concert outside festivals.
  • Ann Arbor police describe an all-hands operation with multiple agencies, and post-concert traffic on Main Street south of the stadium will run southbound only across all five lanes.
  • Stadium rules include a strict no-bags policy, no re-entry and no chairs, with officials urging early arrival and pre-purchased parking; alcohol will be sold on site.
  • Floor-seat holders must enter via the Northeast entrance of Crisler Center for wristbands, and ADA floor access will be through the Lloyd Carr tunnel, with doors opening at 4 p.m.
  • Although widely billed as a first concert, records show a 1987 “Concert for Kids” at the stadium, making this the first large-scale headline concert there in decades.
