Alcohol use can lower inhibitions and affect decision-making, which could make it harder to follow COVID-19 safety measures. Note that drinking alcohol can weaken your
immune system, making it harder for your body to fight off illness.

How to be a part of the team that keeps our community safe:

Stay in the Blue

  • If you choose to drink, remember to eat, especially foods high in protein, and hydrate to Stay in the Blue.
  • Talk it out with your friends. What is your plan to Stay in the Blue? Check out U-M student created strategies on ways to reduce harm from alcohol.
  • Remember the Night Game and all the good plays! Have a plan to make the best of a long day.
  • Thousands of U-M students choose to not drink. Help create an inclusive space with your friends. Know your audience! Many choose not to drink for a variety of reasons, such as religious or cultural beliefs, being under 21, illness, family history, being in recovery, and more.

Safe Social Gatherings

How to have the best fan experience:

  • Become familiar with the laws and policies on campus and in Ann Arbor to make the most informed decisions.
  • Follow stadium guidelines 
    • No bags, no containers, no outside food or drink. Visit mgoblue.com for a complete list.
  • Be a positive fan regardless of your team. We all need to GIVE respect to get it. Behave with integrity and consideration for others--including other Wolverines and visitors.
  • Follow public health and university guidlines to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Visit campusblueprint.umich.edu to see current guidelines
