“Tipping fatigue has hit American consumers hard,” ABC News reported about the backlash to burgeoning gratuity requests for things such as takeout. Two-thirds of Americans have negative views of tipping, according to a 2023 survey. BostonChefs.com makes every effort to ensure that the featured content is accurate and up-to-date however menus are subject to change due to seasonality, availability and the whim of the chef.

There is 1 comment on Does “Tipping Fatigue” Justify Paying Minimum Wage to Tipped Workers?
In America, tipping is considered an ethical thing. It feels like you’re not doing your job as a consumer if you don’t pay the amount of tip that is [expected]. With all his time in the trenches, Jung testified about his reservations to the proposed ballot question at a March legislative hearing on whether to put the measure before voters. He shared his thoughts with BU Today.
The service charge is for the restaurant owner. By law, tipped workers are supposed to net $15, with their employers making up any difference if workers’ subminimum and tips don’t add up to that. But too many employers don’t follow the law, say advocates of abolishing the subminimum. Opponents counter that especially after the pandemic, restaurants’ profit margins are so low that they cannot afford higher payrolls. The Massachusetts Restaurant Association has sued to keep the question off the ballot, saying two separate policy proposals in one question should be ruled ineligible. It’s not as substantial as I would expect.

BU Today: Do they tip a lot less because they’re paying the service charge?
That would be the last thing that they would want to do. Consumers look at the menu prices. It looks like you’re asking for more as compared to the person who is asking for a service charge [instead of raising prices]. How many people actually say, oh, there’s a service charge? Nobody would have that consideration when they’re just going to have a burger.This service charge is not a guarantee for people working in the front of the house.
Now suppose varying the level of irrigation is difficult on a small scale and it makes more sense to apply irrigation levels to larger areas of land. To analyze the treatment effects we first follow the approach discussed in the book. Table 14.17 shows the expected mean squares used to construct test statistics for the case where replicates or blocks are random and whole plot treatments and split-plot treatments are fixed factors. Here, we can not simply randomize the 36 runs in a single block (or replicate) because we have our first hard to change factor, named Technician.
Plan 95260
The split plot CRD design (Fig. 2a) is commonly used as the basis for a repeated measures design, which is a type of time course design. The most basic time course includes time as one of the factors in a two-factor design. In a completely randomized time course experiment, different mice are used at each of the measurement times t1, t2 and t3 after initial treatment (Fig. 3a). If the same mouse is used at each time and the mice are assigned at random to the levels of a (time-invariant) factor, the design becomes a repeated measures design (Fig. 3b) because the measurements are nested within mouse.
Plan: #106-1003
The lower level exits to the garage as well and usually has a rec room, a bedroom, and sometimes even a second kitchen which makes them a great alternative to the in-law suite or for older kids that have moved back home. Whether you do it through crop dusting or using one of the fancy new water-soluble fertilizers, you can apply fertilizer only to a large area. Split-plot designs were originally used in agriculture where the whole plots referred to a large area of land and the sub-plots were smaller areas within each whole plot. Split-plot designs are often used in manufacturing because there is often some variable that is produced in large quantities and thus it makes sense to carry out a split-plot design to reduce the cost of running an experiment.

Frequently you will find living and dining areas on the main level with bedrooms located on an upper level. In Figure 7.1we can observe that blocks are different (this is why we use them), there is noclear effect of variety (V), but there seems to be a more or less lineareffect of nitrogen (N). The last statement produces 99% simultaneous confidence intervals for treatment-versus-control comparisons using Dunnett’s method. Compare the results with those provided in Sec 19.3 where step-by-step construction of the confidence intervals were shown. Blocks are quite often used in a split-plot design as illustrated by the following example. Statology is a site that makes learning statistics easy by explaining topics in simple and straightforward ways.
We have already seen that varying two factors simultaneously provides an effective experimental design for exploring the main (average) effects and interactions of the factors1. However, in practice, some factors may be more difficult to vary than others at the level of experimental units. For example, drugs given orally are difficult to administer to individual tissues, but observations on different tissues may be done by biopsy or autopsy. When the factors can be nested, it is more efficient to apply a difficult-to-change factor to the units at the top of the hierarchy and then apply the easier-to-change factor to a nested unit. (a) Basic time course design, in which time is one of the factors. (b) In a repeated measures design, mice are followed longitudinally.

The Mean Square error terms derived in this fashion are then be used to build the F test statistics of each section of the ANOVA table, respectively. To do so, we have first produced the ANOVA table using the GLM command in Minitab, assuming a full factorial design. Next, we have pooled the sum of squares and their respective degrees of freedom to create the SP Error term as described. There are three technicians, three dosage strengths and four capsule wall thicknesses resulting in 36 observations per replicate and the experimenter wants to perform four replicates on different days. To do so, first, technicians are randomly assigned to units of antibiotics which are the whole plots.
Split-Level House Plans
Figure 2 illustrates split plot designs in a biological context. If we only consider fertilization scheme, we do a completely randomized designhere, with plots as experimental units. The first part of model formula(7.1) is actually the corresponding model equation ofthe corresponding one-way ANOVA. Suppose that we wish to determine the in vivo effect of a drug on gene expression in two tissues. The mouse is the whole plot experimental unit and the drug is the whole plot factor. The tissue is the subplot factor and each mouse acts as a block for the tissue subplot factor; this is the RCBD component (Fig. 2a).
Suppose there are \(a\ell\) whole plots where \(a\) is the number of levels of factor \(A\). Please note that test for equal effects for \(A\) requires the whole plot error as the denominator. The model is specified as we did earlier for the split-plot in RCBD, retaining only the interactions involving replication where they form denominators for \(F\)-tests for factor effects. For the model above, we would need to include the block, block × A, and block × A × B terms in the random statement in SAS. In SAS, Block × A × B would automatically include the Block × B effect SS and df.
A Guide on Data Analysis
Next, the three dosage strengths are randomly assigned to split-plots. Finally, for each dosage strength, the capsules are created with different wall thicknesses, which is the split-split factor and then tested in random order. A split-plot design is a designed experiment that includes at least one hard-to-change factor that is difficult to completely randomize because of time or cost constraints.
We can visualize the data with an interaction plot which shows that mass islarger on average with the new fertilization scheme. The interaction is not very pronounced (the variety effectseems to be consistent across the two fertilization schemes). If we consider the two treatment factors fertilizer and variety, the designlooks like a “classical” factorial design at first sight. In this scenario, the wood type is the hard-to-change factor “whole” plot factor and the temperature is the easy-to-change “split” plot factor. Both of the approaches will be discussed but there will be more emphasis on the second approach, as it is more widely accepted for analysis of split-plot designs. It should be noted that the results from the two approaches may not be much different.
The important issue here is the fact that making the pulp by any of the methods is cumbersome. It would be economical to randomly select any of the preparation methods, make the blend and divide it into four samples and cook each of them with one of the four cooking temperatures. As we can see, in order to achieve this economy in the process, there is a restriction on the randomization of the experimental runs. They are experimenting with two levels of chocolate and sugar using two different baking temperatures. However, to save time they decide to bake more than one tray of brownies at the same time instead of baking each tray individually.
Again, there is no free lunch,this is the price that we pay for the “laziness.” More information can forexample be found in Goos, Langhans, and Vandebroek (2006). A wood manufacturer wants to find the optimal mix of wood type and temperature to produce the most durable wood. Since the type of wood can take a long time to acquire, they may apply three different temperatures to two different wood types. In this particular example, it’s not possible to apply different irrigation methods to areas smaller than one field, but it is possible to apply different fertilizers to small areas. This type of design was developed in 1925 by mathematician Ronald Fisher for use in agricultural experiments. Split level homes offer living space on multiple levels separated by short flights of stairs up or down.
You're going to use design of experiments to study 2 fertilizers and 4 seed varieties to see which combination provides the best crop yield. Using traditional design of experiments methods, you would randomly assign each fertilizer and seed combination to a different plot of land, eight plots in all. Each whole plot contains two subplots and fertilizer type is assigned to each subplot using RCBD (i.e. whole plots are treated as blocks and fertilizer type is assigned randomly within each whole plot to the subplots).
The holidays are what you make of them, and this mani is proof. It’s a fun take on fall colors, while also adding just a bit of sparkle on a stand-out nail. These blue nails with silver stars can represent Chanukah or chilly winter nights, but either way, this drip is classic, cute, and subtle at the same time. While the French manicure is chic all year round, there’s something even more fancy-looking about the smallest amount of white polish on otherwise bare nails. We love a tortie mani any time of year, but it feels like a no-brainer in winter.
Paint Chips
Deep emerald green is a stunning Christmas color that looks gorgeous on absolutely everyone. If you want an elegant but striking festive manicure, go for this eye-catching hue. A green mani might be enough for some people when it comes to a Christmas manicure, but if you want to dress it up even more, holly wreath designs work beautifully with this vivid shade. Make sure to adorn the wreath with a red bow to add a perfect pop of color. This one features a pale pink, white, and gold color scheme and with a 3D snowflake and cute rudolph design—complete with bright red nose. If you're handy with builder gel or have a nail artist who is, consider this 3D sweater French manicure.
Gold Glitter Accent Nails
"You can incorporate festive colors such as red, green, and gold into minimalist looks such as a French manicure," says nail artist San Sung Kim. "Use festive colors and shimmer or glitter for an elevated look." “Pop nail art on a sheer base is currently all the rage, and incorporating curvy lines or abstract paint perfectly captures a hot summer vibe,” says Choi. She recommends experimenting with bright shades like coral-reds and magentas atop a sheer rose base. With this trend, however, channel your inner artist, as pretty much any color goes. We love the summery combo of sherbert-inspired shades like pale peach and soft coral contrasted with punchier, poolside hues of aquamarine and turquoise.
Simple Stars
Featuring gel-X tips, this design takes advantage of the underside of the nails, with little surprise peppermints. Is the best part of the holidays busting out the hot chocolate? Channel your love of cocoa and marshmallows with this marshmallow-tip inspired mani that anyone can do from home.

Bright red French tips make this nail look more Christmas-themed rather than just wintery. A little pearl at the base makes them scream "luxurious Christmas." Lean into wintry weather with this cute manicure that puts a festive twist on a classic French. Instead of perfectly rounded tips, this design features a white snowy base and tiny decorated trees on each nail.
All Glitter Everything
Branches are a staple in nail designs because they're so simple to paint. Jazz up leaves for Christmas by adding berries and snowflakes. While these red-and-green nails are unmistakably Christmas-themed, they’re also not so obvious that you’ll feel the need to scrub them off on December 26.
"Clean and simple lines to sail into summer are most popular," says Mary Lennon and Leah Yari, co-founders of côte. You’ve seen the blue figures of Matisse gracing walls, now bring the same energy to your nails. This would be a relatively easy one to replicate at home, as the squiggles can be free-handed. Grab yourself a summery palette—pick a dark neutral (like navy) and complement it with pastel hues) and give yourself the freedom to paint some mismatched shapes. This one is great to try at home since there’s no specific design to follow.
Alternative Mermaid Vibes
She’s an authority in all nail categories, but is an expert when it comes to Christmas nail ideas, courtesy of her massive Pinterest board. I am fully in the camp that blue is a Christmas color, and in these adorable peppermint swirl pattern, they scream cutesy holiday without the obvious red and green. I know it may seem early for Valentine's Day, but if there's one thing that's true about the holidays it's that love is in the air. This adorable design with tiny pink and red hearts will carry you all the way from Christmas to Valentine's Day. This cute design features a very formal reindeer sporting a polka dot bowtie along with holly berries and sprigs of green. Super pretty sprigs of evergreen and red berries are accented with gold foil to give this nail look a regal finish.
Santa and Rudolph
For this look, Ladokun used red, green, white, and beige to creat a plaid-and-snowflake design. Leaving the half-moons of the nail bare is an easy way to elevate a simple nail look. Ladokun used a different shade of red on each digit to create this Skittle nails-like effect. Just looking at these candy-cane nails is making me crave a peppermint mocha. I personally love the rounded, oval-shape as a contrast to the design’s diagonal, straight lines, but these would also look super cool with coffin nails or square nails to play up the sharpness. Whether you're a mani minimalist or love a super-festive nail art moment, there's an option on this list for you.
It's a bold design that remains a little airy thanks to the sheer, nude base. Yeah, these mistletoe nails are fairly simple, but that’s what makes them perfect for lazy people. The key to this minimalist look is painting on a sheer base color that’s one shade lighter than your skin tone, so your mani feels both crisp and neutral. Feel free to use these nails to get free mistletoe kisses from any and all around you this Christmas. If you’re on Instagram, you’ve definitely seen this “velvet” nail trend on your feed. Basically, it involves a few coats of hyper-shimmery polish, followed by a magnet to “activate” the sparkles.
Just kidding, but if you want a fun twist on holiday nails, think outside the color palette of traditional reds and greens. We love how this nail artist switched up simple snowflake nails and added glitter nails and glitter accents. All of a sudden, winter nails are perfect for New Year’s Eve, too. A “your nails but better” neutral base paired with white micro French tips and mismatched gemstones is the move.
Put them on a colorful background to make them even more vivid, or choose a French manicure to keep them classy. Of course, bright red bows are the shade to choose for a festive nail look. Another play on a French manicure, this nail look also includes a candy cane French tip but adds more to the design.
Search through some bright pinks and find your favorites, as well as a lighter pink for accent nails. Opt for cute little fruits with a whole lot of negative space for the best impact. This design, which is one of our favorite summer nail ideas, would look great on a long nail shape. To use all three shades together, Choi recommends painting your nails white or black, and then dabbing a dot of each color on your nail in an abstract form and finishing with a topcoat.
We’ve got all the above holiday nail ideas and more for all your seasonal mani inspo. Whether you're a fan of square, almond, round, or short nails, this design will look darling on any shape. We love how this manicure makes black and white work for the holiday season with its snowflake, bow, and sparkle designs. There's no doubt you'll end up on the nice list with a Christmas manicure as fun as this. With some mix-and-match vibes, these versatile nails offer classic French tips, snowflakes, and even confetti polka dots. All you'll need to recreate this look is a base color of your choice, as well as red, white, and sparkly silver polishes.
With an initial seating capacity of 72,000, which was an ambitious number at that time, the stadium was completed in 1927. But Yost, ever the visionary, made sure the design allowed for future expansions. She's honored to represent the constantly neglected Boston area in sports media, loves talking to sports fans about their feelings and is happiest eating a hotdog in a ballpark or nachos in a stadium. A&M’s Kyle Field rises out of the hard Texas ground like an oil rig. Its brick facade and sleek interiors feel more like something you’d find in professional sports. Money oozes out of its suites and strange chants ring down from its highest seats.

Instead of soliciting alumni donations or using taxpayer funds, the university paid for the stadium by selling bonds at $500. The bondholders were in turn offered the opportunity to buy tickets between the 30-yard lines for the next decade. The stadium’s designers envisioned a larger version of the Yale Bowl, built with reinforced steel and wire mesh.

It’s affectionately referred to as "The Big House" for a reason. Michigan Stadium is the largest venue of its kind in the United States and the third largest in the world, and it is located at 1201 South Main Street, Ann Arbor, Michigan. The University of Michigan Athletic Department is striving toward zero waste at Michigan Stadium since 2018. Fans will see signage in Michigan Stadium directing them to containers for both recyclable and compostable material. Nearly all the materials purchased in Michigan Stadium can be recycled or composted. All recyclable materials should be placed in bins with blue bags and labels, while all compostable materials should be placed in bins with brown bags and labels.

All three states have significant Black populations and multiple colleges and universities. Sherrone Moore has been the Michigan head coach full time since February. That changed on Monday when 2025 IL 4 star DE Nate Marshall committed to the Wolverines. The Michigan Wolverines Football team has a local fanbase whose loyalty to the team is arguably about as ferocious as the team’s namesake. And while you may not find real wolverines in Michigan, the tenacious fans certainly make up for that. The old expression, “Go big or go home”, takes on a whole new meaning when it comes to Michigan Stadium.
I like to believe that’s true because it’s funny to imagine football being played over heavy machinery. Some people say that if you go onto the 50-yard line at midnight, you can hear a bubbling brook underneath the turf (you cannot). A fan's season tickets may be subject to termination if their behavior or that of the person(s) holding their ticket(s) is found to violate this code of conduct. Any fan behavior that directly or indirectly interferes with the enjoyment of the game by others or conduct of the event will be promptly addressed and may result in revocation of the ticket license and removal from the venue. The University of Michigan Division of Public Safety and Security offers a Child and At-Risk Adult ID Wristband Program during large-scale events held at Michigan Stadium. The inaugural varsity women's lacrosse team made its first appearance inside Michigan Stadium on March 20, 2014, where it dropped a close decision to Winthrop.
Nothing quite prepares you for the sight of the Wolverines making their grand entrance onto the field. Players touch the storied ‘Go Blue’ banner one by one, a rite of passage and a nod to the legions who’ve played before them. In the world of sports architecture, The Big House stands as a testament to how design can enhance tradition, creating a space that’s both iconic and intimate.

Many changes and renovations have continuously improved the quality of the facility, while increasing its capacity to its present 107,601. Despite this anonymity, the legacies of Crisler and Yost live on as Michigan continues to pack the stadium full of 100,000-plus fans game after game. Michigan Stadium has often taken the lead in stadium technology. It was the first venue to use electronic scoreboards in 1930 and is one of the few college stadiums today with video scoreboards in each end zone.
However, plans to walk the animals on leashes were abandoned because of their viciousness. Yost later noted, “It was obvious that the Michigan mascots had designs on the Michigan men toting them, and those designs were by no means friendly.” After just one season, “Biff” and “Bennie” were given to nearby zoos. Michigan Stadium, the "Big House," home of Michigan Football, is the largest stadium in the United States with a capacity of 109,901. Ask any Michigan alum, and they’ll regale you with tales of their time at The Big House. First games, unforgettable plays, chance meetings that led to lifelong friendships, even proposals under the dazzling lights.
Michigan football is going to celebrate its 2023 national championship in style. Some games are etched in the annals of history for the sheer drama they brought to the field. Over the decades, Michigan Stadium has been the backdrop to some of college football’s most iconic moments. Allow me, dear reader, to take you on a stroll down memory lane.
Modern times bring unique challenges, from enhancing security measures to ensuring the stadium remains safe for all its attendees. While it stands as a testament to the Wolverines’ rich history, Michigan Stadium is not one to rest on its laurels. Let me share how this iconic venue continues to innovate while staying true to its roots. The Big House isn’t just a stadium – it’s a repository of memories, each more golden than the last, waiting to be relived with every game. Their unwavering support, the sheer volume of their cheers, has turned the stadium into a fortress.
"THOSE WHO WILL STAY WILL BE CHAMPIONS," a motto established by Bo Schembechler and adopted in generations since, is written on the inside of the ring. Alongside it is the team's 15-0 record, as well as the official College Football Playoff logo. The right side of the ring prominently displays the school's mantra, alongside 2023 national championship logo. According to a press release, Jostens, the nation’s leading provider of handcrafted championship jewelry, designed four custom rings for the program. Players and staff members were given the rings during a private on-campus ceremony.
The venue is one of the country’s most historic sporting venues. The Michigan Stadium – “The Big House” is where you can find more than 110,000 college football fans on Saturday afternoons during the autumn season. Michigan Stadium has 14 elevators available for use by guests holding tickets to premium seating areas (Suites and Club Level) as well as by guests with accessibility needs. The locations of the elevators are indicated on the stadium map. One of the most heated clashes happened in 2014, when Spanish sensation Real Madrid took on British legends Manchester United, setting another American attendance record with over 109,318 fans. Michigan Stadium has even broken records for ice hockey attendance.

Beyond the tackles and touchdowns, it’s here that young athletes understand the essence of teamwork, dedication, resilience, and the undying spirit of never giving up. All differences fade for those few hours during a game, and a singular Wolverine identity emerges. It’s a beautiful testament to the power of sport, and how it can unite myriad souls under a single banner. Across the vast stands, regardless of age, race, or creed, fans come together as one. As we stand on the precipice of the story, looking out over the vast expanse of Michigan Stadium, it’s important to recognize that The Big House is not just brick, mortar, and steel.
Suite and Club Level ticket holders may access these areas at that time through their designated entrances on the east and west sides of the stadium. Tickets cannot be refunded or replaced if lost, stolen or destroyed. Before the 2023 season, new video boards were installed in the north and south end zones. Before 1968, Michigan Stadium maintained a policy of "No women or children allowed on the field". Tickets will be scanned at the West and East side entrances, and a secondary scan will occur at the level in which your tickets are located.
Important information, such as a contact number and seat location, can be written on the wristband. This program helps security and law enforcement personnel to reunite a loved one if they become separated from their parent or guardian. Wristbands are available at the guest service kiosks located within gates 2, 4, 8, 9 & 10. According to the press release, Michigan's home stadium — also referred to as "The Big House" — inspired the ring with its size and sheer.
The program's first win at the Big House came 10 days later on March 30, 2014, as the Wolverines outlasted UC Davis, 13-12, in a double-overtime thriller. Information on seating, prohibited items, parking, concessions and more. The industrial Midwest has moved more toward Republicans because of the shift toward the GOP among white voters without college degrees. That's why states like Ohio and Iowa, which were competitive for decades until the Trump era, are no longer Democratic targets. Attending any event at Michigan Stadium is a unique and unforgettable experience. If immersing yourself in the Game Day atmosphere is your thing, the electrifying vibe and epic sound system at Michigan Stadium is tough to beat.

But the sensory experience is such an integral part of college football that you hear them anyway. These coliseums carry the souls of programs dating back almost 100 years or more. The builders realized that the best way to construct the stadium was to just keep digging until they reached solid ground. There’s even a myth that a steam shovel got stuck in the muddy quicksand, and it was easier to bury it rather than fish it out.
Origins of Michigan Stadium:
As such, nearly three-quarters of the structure had to be constructed below ground level. One crane sank entirely into the moist soil and reportedly remains buried beneath the field. Near the end of construction, 10,000 temporary seats were added at Yost’s request, and the stadium’s capacity reached 84,401. The entire project cost $950,000, which is more than $16 million in 2023. No one would ever confuse Soldier Field with SoFi, or mistake Fenway for Wrigley. But college football stadiums exist on an entirely different plane because of their size.
Michigan Stadium Information
According to the Michigan “Go Blue” Athletics website’s top 10 facts, there were an estimated 106,000,000 blades of grass on the field at Michigan Stadium at the first game in 1927. Then, in May 1991, the Stadium brought grass back until 2003, when the modern-day FieldTurf was installed. Michigan Stadium is considered a national treasure for many reasons. It is renowned for its passionate fans, who create a raucous atmosphere at every game – amplified by the Stadium’s powerful sound system.

As the map stands, if Trump and Biden win the states leaning in their direction, Trump would need to win 35 electoral votes from the toss ups to get to 270, and Biden would need 44. Texas is a majority-minority state, but remains something of a white whale in Democratic politics. In 2020, it was the closest it has been since 1996, decided by 7 points. But with other paths to 270 and how expensive Texas is to advertise and organize in, expect the core seven states to be the focus. "I would be very surprised if we have a turnout rate like we saw in 2020," McDonald said. "And the people who would most likely then not participate ... are going to be these lower-education voters. And so it's going to pose a real challenge to the Trump campaign, to energize these folks yet again to vote in 2020."

Today, after multiple expansions and renovations, The Big House can accommodate over 107,000 fans. Yet, on game days, attendance often swells beyond that, breaking records and making the roar of the crowd a force to reckon with. You would be hard-pressed to find any other college football stadium that matches the gameday experience you’re likely to have at Michigan Stadium.
Parking Lot personnel will determine whether or not a tailgate set up impedes traffic.

Misuse of these facilities (for example, smoking, engaging in sexual activity, etc.) is prohibited. This site links to resale tickets for events at the Michigan Stadium.
It’s more than just steel, concrete, and turf; it’s a symphony of structure and spirit, where every beam and bolt echoes with the roars of yesteryears and the promise of legendary games yet to come. The real triumph of The Big House’s architecture is the fan experience. Nestled in the heart of Ann Arbor, this institution is more than just a place of learning—it’s a cauldron of tradition, passion, and a sense of belonging that has spanned generations. And while the Wolverines have etched their mark in various fields, nothing quite captures the spirit of Michigan like its storied athletic traditions.

The University of Texas is for cowboys — it’s hot, it’s bright, it’s wide and tall, and the burnt orange gives it a rustic yet stately vibe. Neyland Stadium sits next to the water of the Tennessee River like a massive lighthouse. It’s a friendly beacon to everyone in Knoxville and beyond who loves that checkered bowl and an intimidating warning to everyone who has to compete there. For more on the history of the Big House, check out this timeline of the stadium. It spans the pre-construction era to some of the most recent improvements. Join MLive’s award-winning video team for a cool look back at The Big House - its history, its construction and all the upgrades and expansions it has seen throughout the years.
And was there really some big piece of construction equipment left buried beneath the stadium after it was stuck in quicksand-like conditions during the build job?

His dream was to build a “coliseum” where every fan could witness the spectacle of Michigan football. More affectionately known as “The Big House,” it’s not just a stadium—it’s a monument. A testament to the undying spirit of the Wolverines and the throngs of fans who’ve cheered, rejoiced, and sometimes despaired within its imposing walls. The exterior of the stadium feels like the entrance to a speakeasy. A somewhat unassuming brick wall gives way to a submerged labyrinth of hallways and a windy, cacophonous, giant hole in the ground where legends of Michigan football have etched their names into the program’s storied history.
Please see below for all Will Call locations as well as close times for each. In addition, guests wanting to leave and smoke may NOT re-enter the stadium. It is the responsibility of all fans to observe the no-smoking regulation.

Along with vinegar, fruit flies like the smell of fruity beer and wine. Leave out an almost-empty open bottle of stale beer or old wine — the skinny neck will keep the flies trapped. Try these expert tips to get rid of gnats and fruit flies quickly. With professional help, you can feel confident that your infestation is eradicated from all areas of your home. By pointing out possible access points and applying commercial-grade insect repellant, these specialists can help you keep your home fly-free.

How to get rid of flies in the house and keep them away: 8 tried and tested methods
In common terms, a fly is any insect in the Diptera order that has only a single pair of operating wings. This can include quite a large number of insect species, but the flies that plague our homes in the summertime are usually ordinary houseflies (Musca domestic). This insect can be up to 3/8 inch long with bulging reddish eyes. This creature will spend most of its time flying, and it's quick enough to pose a challenge when you wield a fly-swatter. There are certain plants and flowers that attract flies, particularly if they produce sugary substances, so it's worth a check to see if your indoor plants are the problem and are attracting flies. Keeping your kitchen bin clean and smelling fresh can eradicate the problem before it starts, as we discuss in our guide on how to get rid of fruit flies.
bug zappers & electronic repellents
Since fruit flies and house flies are both attracted to the sugar in produce, it’s easy enough to make your own fly traps out of common household materials. The quickest way to kill maggots is to boil water, add vinegar to the water, and pour the mixture over the larva. The water kills them and the vinegar will help to eliminate any odors that attract flies to lay their eggs there, according to Terro, makers of pesticides.
Keeping Flies Out
Erin Huffstetler is a frugal living expert who has been writing for over 10 years about easy ways to save money at home. Pros share how to banish flies from your home for good—and how to prevent an invasion from happening again. We can confirm this simple idea does work, and it offers a humane way to get rid of unwanted pests.
Flies are one of the few insects that are actively affected by colors, so use a flyswatter in a neutral tone for superior stealth. Be sure to mount light traps away from entrances and windows, so they can’t be seen from the outside. Regularly inspect your clothing and textiles, such as curtains, tablecloths, and cloth napkins, for signs of moth activity, such as holes, larvae, or cocoons. Keep your rooms well-ventilated, and consider keeping a natural oil diffuser in your wardrobe at all times.
How To Get Rid Of Fruit Flies In Your House - TODAY
There are numerous ways to get rid of houseflies naturally without introducing harsh chemicals in your home. They love bright, humid spaces like a sunny bathroom or kitchen windowsill, and they're great at trapping pests. Natural repellents can also work to get rid of flies and prevent them from coming into the home in the first place. To start, Chris revealed it was vital to identify where the house flies were breeding. The articles on Pestpit.com are informational only and are regarding DIY pest control.
"Just place some basil, marigold, lavender, bay leaves, or catnip around windows and doors. They will not only keep insects at bay but also beautify your surroundings. Tamara tried this apple cider vinegar method to get rid of flies in her house. One common treatment uses cayenne pepper steeped in water as a spray treatment. Spritz in doorways and around windowsills and the sharp odor will keep the flies away.

How to get rid of flies in the house - ways to get rid of flies.
Inside, make sure you stay on top of cat litter patrol because lingering odors will also attract house flies. Typically, however, you’ll find a maggot infestation in an open or loosened garbage can under and around rotting organic materials and food. McClean says that outdoor fly traps “are a great non-toxic solution to get rid of pesky and unwanted flies.” He recommends the Rescue Outdoor Reusable Fly Trap for outdoor use only.
"Leaks should be fixed immediately and areas prone to moisture should be ventilated properly." A simple trick to keep the bins fresh is to sprinkle a small serving of baking soda directly onto the bottom of your bin before placing a bin bag in. Discovered when cleaning with baking soda, this will help to catch any moisture should anything spill from the bin bag once it's in use while subtly scenting the bin in the meantime. This water and coin trick became a firm favourite a few years ago on social media when cleaning forums were filled with praise for this simple yet seemingly effective fly deterrent. Although food-grade products with low toxicity levels are available, avoid applying them onto surfaces used for food preparation or close to pets and kids.
If your compost pile is close to your house and attracts a lot of flies, it can lead to a fly infestation indoors. Consider moving it farther from the house or switching to a closed compost bin, which also keeps rodents out. Pest control providers will identify the species you’re dealing with and apply the most appropriate solutions. Often, they’ll identify where or how the flies are entering your home and remedy the problem to keep flies from coming back.
These won’t kill the flies themselves, but they may flush out any obstructions where the flies may be breeding. There are also enzymatic drain cleaners that will kill the bacteria and scum that drain flies feed on and lay their eggs in. Although many people think of chemical insecticides first for any pest control, chemical control should be avoided if possible. Through overuse, the common housefly has gradually developed resistance to many chemicals, which means that increasingly heavy applications are necessary to kill them. While pesticides may make some sense outdoors, it's best to avoid them indoor spaces whenever possible. "Invest in a fly screen door or mesh curtain to protect your home from flies with ease," suggests Jordan Foster, a pest control expert at Fantastic Pest Control.
Generally speaking, some of the same tactics you might use to banish flies are the same ones you could use to keep them away—especially using natural repellants like plants and eucalyptus oil. In general, though, the best thing you can do to keep the bugs away is to keep your home and its surroundings as clean and funk-free as possible. If you don’t have that much space to work with, at least try to keep the pile away from doors and windows. On the bright side, you may be pleased to learn that there are some proactive steps you can take to deter flies from moving into your home sweet home.
Keeping your cans sealed and away from points of entry should help, Rollins says. The constant moisture in drains provides a suitable environment for flies to breed. Humans are an inherently messy species, and thus houseflies are present almost everywhere humans live. If you don't want to make a spritz you could try dousing a clean microfibre cloth in one of the fragrant oils and hang it directly in the window to deter flies from the main entry point. The coins inside are added to create a prism of colour via the reflection of the water to add to the effect, to overwhelm the fly's eyes to stop it from approaching an open window. Because like when trying to keep ants away or keep wasps at bay, natural solutions are always the preferred methods where you can.
How to Prevent Flies
Hang a non-toxic disposable fly trap filled with water outdoors near your windows or doors to augment the spray solution. Erlich Pest Control recommends starting with an empty plastic two-liter soda bottle. Cut off the top third (generally, where the top of the label used to be) and set aside. Then, pour something sweet in to the bottom of the bottle to lure in the flies.
Get rid of everything that attracts flies
They deposit these pathogens into your home by their feet and from their mouths. But if you feel like you are constantly seeing flies, they’re extremely bothersome, and home remedies aren’t working, it may be time to call in a professional exterminator. Because most flies make their way into your home from the outdoors, Pereira recommends making some changes to your surrounding property. However, houseflies are not considered a significant carrier of diseases.
Trap flies with vinegar and dish soap
Place food in sealed containers and promptly clean any food or beverage spills. Commercial outdoor flytraps are either disposable and or permanent so you have to refill them with the bait and clean them when they are full. Because outdoor fly traps often have a strong odor and contain pesticides, they have to be placed at a minimum distance from human activity. The vast majority of flies that may take up residence in your house are not harmful, but they can be a nuisance.
“While the smell is unpleasant to humans, it lures flies to a trap that they are unable to get out of,” McClean explains. Certain plants, like basil, lavender, and mint, may actually help repel flies and other pests, Troyano says. It's best to get your house fly problem in check as soon as possible. Even though house flies have short lifespans, “they can quickly reproduce in large numbers, leading to large house fly populations if not identified and effectively controlled,” says Fredericks. Many housefly infestations are due to excess moisture and debris accumulating around the house.
9 Insects That May Be Those Little Black Bugs in The Kitchen—And How To Get Rid of Them
Clothes moths are tiny winged insects that damage natural fibers, such as wool, silk, leather, and feathers. They stand out among their peers because not all moths damage clothes. Only two species do—the casemaking clothes moth and the webbing clothes moth. Both are about ¼ inch long and have a wingspan of approximately ½ inch.
Remember to review screening on sliding doors, screened rooms, porches, and gazebos. Just like roaches and mice, flies multiply faster than you can say the word, and we’ve put together a guide to get to the bottom of the problem and help you get rid of house flies for once and for all. This is a sticky strip of paper that you can easily string up from the ceiling or wherever the flies are hanging out the most. When flies (or other winged insects) check it out, they get stuck to the paper. The problem is likely originating outside of your house, but a few indoor hang-ups can make it worse.

Many even offer organic or pet-friendly options, so don’t hesitate to ask for help. Drain flies are usually harder to control than other types because of where they nest and reproduce, and their eggs are often unharmed by water and common cleaners. Trapping adult flies usually won’t solve the problem, as they’ve likely already laid eggs.

Fruit flies buzzing around? Here’s how to build traps and get them out of your PA home.
Unfortunately, animals do not have a sophisticated way of cleaning up like humans and flies, like hanging around pets that are not clean, translating to a fly infestation in your home. Dirty dishes, overflowing trash cans that are not lidded or a compost bin are common food sources for flies. If you already have a fly infestation, destroying their breeding grounds is the best way to eliminate them. Depending on the fly species, breeding grounds vary, so correctly identifying the fly species you are dealing with is helpful.
When the flies land on the trap, a fatal electric shock is emitted that kills them instantly. Many light traps also include a tray at the bottom so you don't end up with electrocuted flies all over your floor. You can find light traps in a number of different places, including superstores, home improvement stores, pest service companies, and online. All you need are a simple set of tools for securing your light trap to the wall and an outlet to plug it in. When you buy a fly trap, make sure it is suitable for indoor use, as some products contain pesticides. With homemade fly traps, you can get rid of flies naturally without the use of chemical insecticides.
Use chlorine to treat cesspits as often as once a month to get rid of flies and protect yourself and your loved ones from sanitary-related diseases. Flies are very much attracted to human waste and wastewater, and the cesspit is a hub of these materials. Flies scavenge for their foods wherever present, and your house is a potential hotspot or source of food for the flies. Any of these could be why you have flies flying from one surface and landing on the other all over, and you first need to establish the cause of the infestation to get rid of them permanently.
This solution allows you to leave the windows and doors open and not be quite so restrictive with having food out on the counter inside the house. Getting rid of flies in your home may require a combination of treatments, repellents and preventative measures. Expect to build a customized solution with multiple products and techniques, which may include fly bait, fly traps, fly foggers and more. Flies are also drawn to warmth and light, which is why homes are at such high risk for fly infestations. In a warm environment, flies can live up to three months and are prolific breeders.
Make sure they don’t have areas to lay eggs and remove things that can attract the flies. The first step in preventing clothes moths is keeping your home clean and well-organized. Vacuum and clean your entire home regularly, paying close attention to closets, storage areas, and upholstered furniture.
