No program in college football has won more games than the Michigan Wolverines. The football team of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor started playing intercollegiate football in 1879. It has since stacked up the most all-time wins in college football history and became the first college or professional football program to reach 1,000 victories, a milestone it hit by beating Maryland in November 2023. The identity is unmistakable: the winged helmet, the fight song "The Victors," and a season-ending rivalry game against the Ohio State Buckeyes that ESPN in 2000 ranked the greatest sports rivalry in North America. That mix of history and scale is a big part of why Michigan Wolverines football tickets are a perennial draw on fall Saturdays.
The program's arc runs through nearly every era of the sport. Fielding H. Yost's "Point-a-Minute" teams went 56 games without a defeat from 1901 through 1905 and won the 1902 Rose Bowl, the first bowl game ever played. Fritz Crisler introduced the winged helmet in 1938 and delivered a national title in 1947. Bo Schembechler won a program-record 194 games and 13 Big Ten championships over 21 seasons. Lloyd Carr took the 1997 Wolverines to the top of the sport, and Jim Harbaugh, a former Michigan quarterback, closed his nine-year run with three consecutive Big Ten titles and the 2023 College Football Playoff national championship, the program's first undisputed title since 1948.
Michigan Stadium has been the program's home since 1927, when it was dedicated with a win over Ohio State. It is the largest stadium in college football with 107,601 seats, and its streak of crowds above 100,000 dates back to 1975, a level of support that keeps Michigan football tickets in high demand year after year.
