The Commons Premium Tailgates & Marketing Activations by Michigan Stadium

The Commons at South Main 1310 is one of Ann Arbor's premier locations for Premium Tailgates, corporate hospitality, private events, and marketing activations. Located at the corner of South Main Street and Snyder Avenue, approximately 100 feet from the main entrance to Michigan Stadium, The Commons puts your guests or your brand right in the middle of the Michigan game day experience.

Few event locations can match this combination of proximity, visibility, and flexibility. Whether you are hosting clients, bringing together alumni and friends, entertaining a large group, or creating a high-impact brand experience, The Commons offers an exceptional setting just steps from the Big House.

Premium Tailgating Steps from Michigan Stadium

The Commons is located approximately 0.05 miles from Michigan Stadium, making it one of the closest Premium Tailgate locations available in Ann Arbor. Guests can enjoy their pregame experience only steps from the stadium and then make the short walk to the entrance when it is time for the event.

The property offers a combination of open-air and covered areas, providing flexibility for different group sizes, event concepts, and weather conditions.

Premium Tailgates for Small & Large Groups

The Commons can accommodate Premium Tailgates for both small gatherings and larger organized groups. It is an excellent location for alumni events, family gatherings, corporate hospitality, client entertainment, private parties, and other special occasions connected to Michigan Football games and major events at Michigan Stadium.

Park N Party can help coordinate the space and supporting services needed to create a more complete tailgate experience. Depending on your event, arrangements may include tents, tables, chairs, catering, televisions, games, signage, and other event services.

For Premium Tailgate availability and planning assistance, contact Park N Party to discuss your group size, event date, and specific needs.

Corporate Hospitality & Client Entertainment

With Michigan Stadium only steps away, The Commons provides an outstanding setting for companies that want to entertain clients, employees, prospects, or business partners during a Michigan Football weekend or major stadium event.

The location allows organizations to create a private, professionally organized hospitality experience while still giving guests the energy and excitement of being immediately adjacent to the Big House.

Marketing Activations & Brand Promotions

The Commons is also one of Park N Party's strongest Ann Arbor locations for marketing activations and promotional events. Its position on South Main Street near the main entrance to Michigan Stadium places brands in front of heavy pedestrian traffic on major event days.

Local, regional, and national brands can use the location to create memorable face-to-face experiences with Michigan fans and event attendees. Depending on the activation, opportunities may include:

• Product sampling and demonstrations
• Branded tents and displays
• Promotional giveaways and swag
• Consumer engagement activities
• Games and interactive experiences
• High-visibility logos and signage
• Lead generation and informational distribution
• Corporate hospitality combined with brand promotion

Marketing activations must be arranged in advance with Park N Party so the space, setup, logistics, and promotional requirements can be coordinated appropriately.
