Crisler Center

Easy going and simple enough to get in, find our seats, and enjoy the game. We were tucked up as high as we could go and I thought it was still a fairly solid view! Plus, a great atmosphere and awesome game against Nebraska. Go Wolverines!

Amazing Venue for U OF M SPORTS!!! Food is pricey as you would expect. But you get to keep to U if M cup 32 oz Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite. No Mountain Dew??? Good Chicken and Fries. U of M Store inside Top Level Bring your wallet.

The center itself is very nice. Easy to move around and seating is spacious. The parking is a bit challenging. We thought we were there early enough to park close. However, we had to park down the road and across the street. Not a bad walk, but it was a bit chilly that day. Bathrooms were very clean. Attendants were very helpful.

We actually love this venue. My son and I attended lots of basketball games. The other night while attending a game he called it his "happy place" I give 2 stars for a single reason. The "Kids zone" is deplorable. One of my sons favorite spots to visit is entirely "out of order" the area has 4 activities for kids and 2 photo ops. All 3 tech interactive activities have had out of order signs over their screens (you can see them in the photo) since pre season the other activity letting kids shoot free throws has balls that are so deflated they don't even bounce. It's very disappointing watching the kids get forgotten about to make a buck. They have added features that can be seen by the TV cameras but the fan experience is falling behind. Overall it's a great place. Reasonable prices, Good food, extremely friendly staff all around, not a bad seat in the place. Add a winning team and you've got a great thing. We will be back in February and I will update this review based on if any attention is paid to the "kids zone"

Gorgeous facility with fantastic views of the court from pretty much any seat. Sqeaky clean, great staff and heightened security throughout. Our whole family had a blast at the volleyball game and tickets were just $10 for 6yrs & up.

Very friendly staff regardless of role. Very clean facilities. Lots of walkable parking options. The food prices gave me sticker shock. I'm still adjusting to inflation rates, but $42 for 3 pretzels and 3 bottled waters, ouch! Still gotta root for the team. Go blue!!!

Crisler is amazing, such high quality seating, bathrooms, concessions everything. If you get a chance to go you should.

Parking for games is tricky but it's a really nice stadium. Very clean, good food options, comfortable seats, and great views.

Great facility and Electric Atmosphere. The seating is nice and renovated and makes for a very comfortable viewing experience. There is a ton of options for concessions and the whole building just looks very modern. The court design is also very visually appealing and the Jumbotron is also big and clear. Go Blue!

I graduated from the University of Michigan in 2009 and the Crisler Center was a lot different back then than it is today. When I attended basketball games as a student, the Crisler Center was pretty dreary and outdated. To be honest, the interior where all of the concessions and everything are was downright ugly. How things have changed. I attended another game this past December while I was in town for a friend's bachelor party. They have renovated the Crisler Center and it's a whole new experience. Gone is an outdated facility and now you have a beautiful arena. I was impressed by how much things have changed. My only gripe? There aren't enough concession workers which leads to some long wait times to get food and drinks during halftime. Can't wait to be back one day for another game. Go blue!

Crisler is a great venue to watch our beloved Wolverines. Honestly I don't believe that there's a bad seat in the house. It's well run, easy to get in and out, decent concessions, clean with plenty of bathrooms and has an M Den stocked with plenty of swag. The concourse has interesting exhibits about a variety of U-M sports, cool memorabilia and several really fun hands on games, as well as photo ops. The Michigan band keeps the crowd pumped up throughout the game and the halftime entertainment is usually superb. We always have a wonderful time at Crisler win or lose. We can usually find affordable tickets on Stubhub. Plenty of inexpensive parking close by.

We've been here once to see them play Maryland in 2019. We are coming back about this time last year, 2-8-20, to see them play llittle brother. I love this stadium, and the energy is always electric when you're inside. I'd give it 5 stars but I guess the Big Ten doesn't have alcohol sales in their sports venues. Still doesn't stop me from getting hammered before the game! Lol jk, but for real, I love this place and can't wait to get there Saturday morning to watch them play. GO BLUE!

Purdue Boilermakers at Michigan Wolverines Basketball Tickets Sat, 12/01/2018, 3:30 PM US 2 tickets Upper Sideline 223 Row 31 | Seats 7,8 Ticket price (2 tickets) $124.00 Total fees* $34.76 Order total: $158.76 This arena is so intimate and our seats were amazing even on the balcony. It only holds about 12k or so spectators and the game was sold out, so we had to buy our tickets from a secondary site: Stubhub. It was easy to buy them and screenshot our tickets to get into the arena, but the $15 fee PER ticket seemed a little ridiculous. We arrived 30 minutes early and there was hardly a line to get in, to get through security, and file through the bag check line. I liked that they allowed purses and diaper bags unlike the Big House where those would be contraband. We got lucky being in section 223 because it was right outside the lactation room so I could nurse my baby and change his diaper. It was a locked room guarded by the ushers in the K section and had a changing table, comfy chair, sink and side table. I wish there was a toilet for my use, but even the bathroom lines weren't all that bad at halftime. We had eaten just before we arrived at the arena, so I can't do a food review like I usually do. We grabbed a water bottle for $4.50 :( For students, it would've been $2. Also, we walked around part of the concourse during halftime and there was a kids section with a selfie section where you could take pictures and email them to yourself. The atmosphere of the arena was intense and our view was unobstructed. I don't think there was a bad seat! The maize rage section was right below us spanning half of the lower bowl. The students lead everyone in chants and hand motions like at football games - it was so much fun to watch them rile up the crowds! Oh yeah - it was also an awesome game to attend - we lead the whole game and beat Purdue!

This was my first time to the Crisler Center. I am usually at the Big house so I have seen it many times. I have always wanted to check it out to see a BBall game. It is a beautiful building. The food area and the seating are very easy to find. If you cannot find it there are friendly staff just eager and waiting to assist. I enjoyed myself at the event and plan to visit again soon.

With the Wolverine basketball season now underway, the recently renovated Chrisler Center is where it goes down. Like the UM football stadium next door, the Cottage Inn has the concession contract for PIZZA at the b-ball games. The Cottage Inn, which got its start in Ann Arbor 68 years ago in 1948, has the distinction of being the FIRST restaurant to serve PIZZA in town. It has been on growth spirt since the late 70s when it added a second location for carry out and delivery. Currently with over 50 locations in Michigan and Ohio, the Cottage Inn is now opening franchises in Florida and both North and South Carolina. Surprising to me, the Cottage just signed a franchise agreement to open a restaurant in China! A 'C-Inn' is always a welcome 4-star bite when enjoying the Wolverines on the hardwood.

I was at the center for a basketball game for my first visit. We were in the next to last row but could still see the floor and media board. Sound system sound sucks up high. Impossible to understand much of what was said. Seating was comfortable. Attended winter graduation the next day. Just above floor level. Sound was fine.

Since it's time for March Madness, I thought a review of Crisler Center is in order. This facility used to be called Crisler Arena before renovations and additions began the past year or so. There are more offices and areas aside from the main arena which is why I think umich is changing the name to center - to be all inclusive of its offerings. The recent renovation to the inside of the arena makes watching a basketball game or other event much more enjoyable. It is cleaner, brighter, seats are about the same comfort but they are new and not old stained ones from the 70s. The new scoreboard is great and there is a lot going on with many screens and tiers. The sound is hit or miss but you can usually make out what the announcer is saying. A few tweaks and I think it could be great. The concessions are still not outstanding. Strangely cooked hot dogs and hit and miss quality for other foods doesn't rank this high for an idea of 'let's get dinner at the basketball game!'. It will fill you up and when it's done right can be a good addition to watching any event. They have begun renovating the outer concourse and will be installing new concession areas, new restrooms, new displays and new things to do. If this is done right, I would probably up my rating to 5 stars but for now, it still has a couple of areas to improve. Go Blue!

Went for my sisters graduation with her masters from u of m Dearborn. We had excellent seats in a box. Great view. Loved the seats. Had a blast. Love the place

Sports are complicated and v. intense. There's lot of running and jumping and yelling- and crowds. For someone like me who is TBH terrified of all of those things going to any sporting event can be borderline traumatic. Obviously anyone who doesn't have negative brain cells would consider me moderately insane for deciding to attend University of Michigan given my own neuroses and the atmosphere of the school. As a fact, I am moderately insane but that is completely independent of my decision to attend a big 10 school given my stance on sportz and big athletic events. So, it might be weird that first of all, I went to the Crisler Center and secondly, I'm deciding to review it but whatever I don't care what you think. Also, if you're like me and insist on being dressed in head to toe M gear at all times or maybe just the three M items you own the one time you attend a Michigan basketball game, it's still really important to have multiple licensed M gear retailers in the stadium be able to "reboot" your swag in between breaks. This is very important to who I am as a person and I am forever grateful that whomstever suggested to insert multiple M Dens here was supported in their idea. Go blue! My most favorite thing about the Crisler Center (besides the B-ball of course, most obvi) was the popped maize that my mommy purchased for me at one of 643 food outposts. I tugged at her purse bc I wanted it and ate half and my stomach hurt but overall cannot say enough good things about this tasty snack. Also, FYI, you might want to know, going to basketball here is pretty fun. The good news is that I didn't get hit with the ball but the bad news is that Rihanna wasn't there. Oh, and Michigan is okay at basketball too. Honestly, there isn't much else to say except don't go here alone. As someone who goes a lot of places alone and isn't judgmental of people who go places alone I would be judgmental of someone who was here alone. There is parking at the high school if you have a car and are allowed to drive but it costs money just so you know.

Very small and dumpy, no electricity in the crowd. Even the players wish they could play at a place like Breslin or Mackey!

I went here because the team I root for was in town (last season) to play Michigan, and they don't play each other that much. I got invited by a rabid Michigan fan who has season tickets. No problems getting in or out, and even though I was wearing the opposing teams gear not one fan started busting my chops. They were all quite friendly. The best part is that there doesn't seem to be a bad seat in the place. I would recommend if you enjoy college basketball.

The recent renovations to the arena have made a big difference. Overall, I am still not a huge fan of the arena. I know the Michigan way is simple, but this one is not for me. If you want the real Michigan experience (of course not including the Big House), you need to get to a hockey game at Yost! At the end of the day, Crisler is still a U of M venue and I will forever be faithful. GO BLUE!

As Michigan Stadium has morphed into The Big House, so Crisler Arena has become Crisler Center. I like the renovations. There's a "club level" now that I don't know much about, but even if you spend time walking around like I did, it's not particularly prominent, and therefore feels less elitist than the new suites at the football stadium. There's much to like: modern restrooms with water-conserving fixtures, refreshments seating area, MDen location to do some shopping, and limited but very good quality trophy and memorabilia displays.

Good spot for a hoop game. First time there and everyone was very helpful and courteous. We sat down low, but don't think there is a bad seat in the house. And University of Michigan won, so all the better! One bad note, the Philly cheesesteak should not be confused with a real Philly cheesesteak Sandwich...just saying..

You have to check out the new Crisler Center if you have not yet had the chance. The rennovations are great and it is a great place to watch BBALL. AND...it is great with a good UofM team to cheer for! Go Blue!

Great College basketball atmosphere! Crisler Arena recent upgrades and expansion make Crisler Center a premier college basketball venue!

Great place to watch a game and grab some grub. No bad seat in this house. Easy in and out. Love this place

The new upgrades are awesome. The old place was cold and felt like a concrete jungle. The upgrades make it warm and comfortable. It is worth visiting even if there is no game. Don't miss the "M" waterfall. Beautiful. They offer a kid zone with baskets and other stuff for kids to do. The food has been upgraded too. More variety. All of the trophies are displayed nicely with a tribute to Cazzie Russell. Escalators were added and new colorful seating. The one flaw they could not change was the cramped seats. I am a 5'9" female and my knees push against the seat in front if me. They have made this place fun with added events too.

Great improvements inside over three years ago; parking it still an issue.
