Worst Kept Secret: It’s Saline, It’s Closed

Finally official word from the official site on the officially private 2008 Michigan football spring game:

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — University of Michigan head coach Rich Rodriguez and the 2008 Wolverine football team will hold a closed final practice at Saline High School on Saturday, April 12. Due to the size of the stadium the public will be unable to attend.

“We appreciate the gesture and effort made by Saline to help make this practice possible,” said Scott Draper, Assistant Athletic Director for Football. “Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate a practice open to the public.”

With construction taking place at Michigan Stadium and to the back practice fields at Schembechler Hall because of the new indoor facility, Michigan is unable to accommodate a public practice at the University.
