Enter the enchanted grounds of Ray Fisher Stadium, the splendid dwelling place of the University of Michigan Wolverines, where the jubilant cheers seem to vibrate in the very air, harmonizing with the nearby river's peaceful rhythm. Established in 1923, this Ann Arbor, Michigan sanctuary has long been the cherished abode of these noble creatures. With the ability to welcome 4,000 enchanted souls, although only providing seats for 2,800, Ray Fisher Stadium underwent a delightful transformation in 2008, becoming an integral part of the University’s Wilpon Baseball and Softball Complex.
As you progress towards this storied stadium, the original name, Ferry Field, whispers a tale of yesteryears, carrying with it an ancient charm. Yet, this field was not always known as Ferry Field; it was baptized in honor of Ray Fisher, the illustrious former Michigan baseball coach, who guided the University’s baseball teams from 1921 through 1958. Despite the relatively small seating capacity of 2,800, this field has been the stage where the College World Series champions have danced their victories since 1958.
It has welcomed ten Big Ten Conference baseball tournaments, and the University has brought home the trophy in 1981, 1983, 1987, 2006, and 2008. The spellbinding aura this stadium exudes is undeniable. Can’t you sense the magic coursing through you?
