ANN ARBOR, MI – As trees begin to show their fall colors, Ann Arbor turns more maize and blue with the arrival of the U-M football season. In order to get fans to and from the stadium with convenient and accessible service, TheRide’s FootballRide shuttles will return with the September 3 University of Michigan home football game against Hawaii.
 
FootballRide service will operate between many convenient hotel and parking sites and Michigan Stadium for eight home football games this fall. Additional hotels will also be served indirectly at nearby pick-up sites. Hotel parking may be limited to hotel patrons.
 
FootballRide runs approximately every 20 minutes starting two hours before game time with the last shuttles departing 30 minutes before game time. Return shuttles run for approximately one hour after each game.
 
FootballRide tickets are $1.50 each way for adults and may be purchased at most of the hotel sites, or in advance by mail or in person at TheRide’s main office at 2700 South Industrial Highway in Ann Arbor. Riders are encouraged to purchase round-trip tickets, as drivers do not carry change. Reduced fares are available for those who qualify. Hotel and shuttle boarding location information can be found by visiting MyFootballRide.org. For information on detours in effect during the games, visit TheRide.org or call (734) 996-0400.
