It’s just three days away! On Monday night, The University of Michigan will face Washington in the College Football Playoff Championship game. It promises to be a festive night in Ann Arbor, and local police are ready.
Although the city of Houston is hosting the title game, Ann Arbor Police know the Wolverines' hometown will be buzzing with activity and, potentially, massive celebrations.
Interim police chief Patrick Maguire says he anticipates Michigan will win and bring home college football’s top prize, but wants folks to be respectful, no matter the outcome of the game.
“Sometimes, we see people out and about celebrating, you know, out in the streets, and that’s great. We love to see people having a good time. We just want to remind everybody to be smart and be safe, and don’t do anything you’d be embarrassed to see the next day on video.”
Maguire is also encouraging students and community members to make advance decisions on how to safely get home at the end of the night. He suggests designating a sober driver or use of a rideshare app.
