Bill Martin Michigan Quotations

Michigan Stadium is a wonderful old lady. She has served us for 79 years. Unfortunately, to a certain extent, she's functionally and economically obsolete.

I heard the live the announcement on WJR this afternoon, and that was the first notice I or anyone at the University of Michigan had received about any of this. We were negotiating in good faith over the last few months, and we thought we had a deal. We wish WJR and Michigan State the best.

We've looked at all the other options ... but they all have different financial numbers attached to it. The objective is to position Michigan Stadium so that it will serve our constituents for the next 50 years.
