The pre-game flyover is nothing new for Michigan, who tends to have a special pre-game experience early in the year on a regular basis. Last fall, there was a parachute landing inside Michigan Stadium ahead of a game with Air Force in September.
Saturday will serve as the home opener for the Wolverines, beginning the 2018 campaign in South Bend against Notre Dame. Michigan hosts Western Michigan this weekend.
Fans will want to get there early to catch the flyover.
