The home of Michigan Wolverines football could soon be hosting another concert with rumors around country music superstar Morgan Wallen swirling.

The Michigan Athletics account on social media posted a shot of a football with a Maize and Blue-specific mascot sporting the initials “MW” on its sleeve. Concurrently, there is a countdown clock on Wallen’s website teasing an announcement.

Michigan Stadium’s first-ever concert, by all accounts, was a rousing success.

Sept. 27’s Zach Bryan concert, which also featured John Mayer, Ryan Bingham and the Texas Gentlemen and Joshua Sloan, brought in an audience of 112,408 people, making for the largest ticketed concert in U.S. History. The previous record was held by George Strait on June 15, 2024, who played a show at Texas A&M’s Kyle Field.

A statement from AEG and Zach Bryan also said that a merchandise sales record was hit at the event, with at least $5 million made from the event.

The concert, which went on sale in February, was sold out in less than 2.5 hours, went for 7 hours and wrapped just before midnight with a 90-second fireworks display, approved as a one-time exception by the U-M Board of Regents ahead of the event.

According to The Michigan Daily, officials reported two arrests for disorderly conduct, 18 ejections and 121 medical responses, which they say fell in line with a normal football Saturday in Ann Arbor.

Melissa Overton, deputy chief of police for DPSS, told The Daily that the concert was a success from a public safety perspective, and will apply some of the lessons learned in the event of future concerts and non-football dates.

“From a public safety standpoint, the concert was successful,” Overton said in an email. “Our plan worked as intended, with strong interagency coordination and effective communication among all partners. As with every event, we review lessons learned to refine future operations, but no significant issues arose.”
