The University of Michigan 

offers one of the best all-around 

sports experiences in the country, 

with Michigan Stadium, Yost Ice 

Arena and Crisler Center each 

listed in the “Top 100 Stadium 

Experiences of 2016,” according 

to website and magazine 

“Stadium Journey.”

The list, which evaluated the 

fan experience at 761 different 

college and professional sports 

stadiums in the United States, 

listed Michigan Stadium at 

number 16, Yost Ice Arena at 

number 68 and Crisler Arena at 

number 73.

As the largest stadium in 

North America with a capacity 

of 107,601, the experience on a 

Saturday in Ann Arbor at the Big 

House earned high praise from 

the author of the article, Paul 

Swaney.

“With the recent ascendancy 

of the program, this may just be 

the perfect time to see a game 

at Michigan Stadium,” Swaney 

wrote in the description. “The 

Big House and a Michigan 

football game should sit squarely 

on even the shortest list of must 

see venues for any sports fan. The 

grandiosity, history, and pure 

joy of a Saturday in Ann Arbor 

is a must for all avid stadium 

travelers.”

The Wolverines’ chief rivals, 

Ohio State and Michigan State, 

did not fare well on the list and 

only had one entry: Ohio State’s 

Ohio Stadium ranking at number 

35.

The only other stadium in the 

state of Michigan to make the list 

was Comerica Park, home of the 

Detroit Tigers, at number 92. The 

three other major Detroit sports 

stadiums — Joe Louis Arena, Ford 

Field and The Palace of Auburn 

Hills — did not make the list.

According to an email sent by 

Charlie Houlik Wednesday night 

to members of the Sigma Kappa 

sorority living in the chapter 

house, “up to 30 Fraternity guys 

have been hospitalized with the 

Norovirus.” The email stated the 

sorority Kappa Kappa Gamma 

had closed its doors to any 

nonresidents, and encouraged 

members of Sigma Kappa to do 

the same.

There 
were 
reports 
last 

week of a vomit-inducing illness 

originating from an unspecified 

fraternity when several members 

of Mary Markley Residence Hall 

suddenly became sick.

“It started off with one girl, 

because I guess one of the frats 

on campus had it, and then her 

sorority mixed with them on 

Saturday so she got it,” said 

LSA freshman Haya Akbik last 

week. “Then she gave it to her 

roommate, and some girls in 

our hall got it, and last night a 

girl in our hall slept in my room 

because her roommate had it and 

was puking all night, and then 

my friend on the other side of 

Markley has it.”

University 
of 
Michigan 

representatives say they have not 

seen any evidence to substantiate 

the 
email. 
According 
to 

University spokesperson Kim 

Broekhuizen, there have been 

no new cases of gastrointestinal 

illness in the past week.

“I can tell you with 100 

percent certainty that no one 

has been hospitalized,” she said. 

“Typically, it’s my understanding 

that they don’t test to confirm 

norovirus 
unless 
there’s 
a 

significant concentration of an 

outbreak in one single area, and 

we haven’t had that.”

Mary Masson, director of 

institutional 
positioning 
for 

Michigan Medicine (formerly 

known as the University of 

Michigan 
Health 
System), 

confirmed 
Broekhuizen’s 

statement.

Though, a member of Phi 

Kappa Psi fraternity who asked 

to remain anonymous said he 

was diagnosed with norovirus at 

Michigan Medicine.

“It was UMHS, and yeah, 

they said it was the norovirus,” 

he said.

According to the website for 

the Center for Disease Control, 

the most common symptoms of 

norovirus are diarrhea, throwing 

up, nausea and stomach pain, 

while less common symptoms 

are fever, headaches and body 

aches.”

The anonymous member of 

Phi Kappa Psi described similar 

symptoms.

“I was really at the peak of it 

on Friday and Saturday,” he said. 

“It was mostly just throwing up 

and constant nausea along with 

a pretty intense fever. Overall it 

didn’t last more than 30 hours.”

When 
asked 
about 
the 

content of the email sent to 

Sigma Kappa, the anonymous 

fraternity brother could not 

verify its accuracy.

“I know there’s a couple of 

kids within Greek life that have 

it,” he said. “I haven’t heard of 

that many people being affected 

by it but I’d have no way of 

knowing.”
