The Michigan Wolverines have canceled their spring football game due to weather concerns that project a high percentage chance for rain and thunderstorms, the school announced in a statement.
“We want to ensure the safety of our fans as well as the student-athletes and staff,” said Warde Manuel, Michigan’s Director of Athletics. “We also wanted to provide as much notice in advance for fans and the families of our players that were considering attending.”
“We are disappointed for our fans and players' families that this opportunity to see our team compete at Michigan Stadium will not be possible due to weather concerns,” said head coach Jim Harbaugh. “We made a decision that was in the best interest of our fans, student-athletes and volunteer staff needed to organize this event.”

Michigan will not reschedule the spring game due to the limited number of practices remaining and the start of finals next week.
The game was originally scheduled to be held this Saturday at 7:00 pm ET, but was moved up to 5:45 pm ET earlier this week due to the concerns.
