The University of Michigan plans to make renovations to Michigan Stadium that will widen tunnel access on game days, according to a report from Aaron McMann of MLive.com.
The renovations reportedly will remove approximately 45 seats from the stadium in order to make the tunnel more accessible to players and staff on football Saturdays. The decision comes after a review of the stadium architecture following the altercation involving Wolverines players and opposing players from rival Michigan State last fall.
The decision also was triggered by a separate incident at the same game, when Spartans coach Mel Tucker’s head was touched by a Wolverines fan as Tucker passed through the tunnel.
