About Ann Arbor
Ann Arbor's map is defined by the sprawling campus of the University of Michigan, which weaves through the city rather than sitting apart from it. The Huron River curves gracefully through the northern part of the city, creating the popular Gallup Park and Nichols Arboretum along its banks. Main Street and State Street form the downtown's commercial spine, lined with independent bookstores, restaurants, and the historic Michigan Theater. The massive Michigan Stadium, 'The Big House', seats over 107,000 fans and dominates the western campus area as one of the largest stadiums in the world.
