There’s nothing that can match attending a Michigan Wolverines football game in Michigan Stadium along with 107,901 cheering fans. Of course, you can also try to duplicate some of that spirit in your home’s basement or other spaces where you can watch the games with friends and family.
We’ve pulled together our top picks for Michigan Wolverines team-themed basements and spaces along with some memorabilia picks that could easily hold places of honor in any home. With these spaces, whether you’re living in Traverse City, Detroit, Grand Rapids, or any other place around the world, you can cheer “Go Blue.”

This is a tastefully decorated television viewing area with plenty of Michigan-themed decorations. We like the tweet “Go Blue! All day! Every day!”

Number One appears to be the predominant theme here, outside of Michigan Wolverines, along with maize and blue. This would be a great space to watch the games.
3. New 77” Viewing Screen Sets Off this Wolverine Fan Cave
Just got my Christmas gift. 77 in OLED Sony XBR A9G. Absolutely amazing TV. Going to hopefully watch the suckeyes lose to Northwestern today. Not likely but Go Cats! pic.twitter.com/COVvFjvba3

Now that’s a big screen that’s just right for watching the games. In this case, it looks like plans to watch two Big 10 opponents and cheering for an Ohio State Buckeyes loss.

These are some excellent additions to any Wolverines-themed space. The giant-sized “M” is particularly eye-catching. This is something to consider for your fan cave.

Our spaces do change over time. This one has been repurposed and returned to its former glory as a Michigan fan cave ready for the next basketball season.

This Michigan team-themed television viewing area tries to overcome the impression that men change television channels all the time. Instead, it provides enough screens to watch all the games simultaneously. Now that’s a nifty goal for your own team-themed space.
7. Wolverine Wall of Fame
Not the best angle, and the room is far from clean…

This is an incredible display of Michigan football jerseys of many of the most famous players. That makes for a super backdrop when watching the next players build their own fame.

10. Michigan Den
Ready for a new season.Had to show off part of my personal 'Michigan Den'. Sorry but the term 'man cave' is overused pic.twitter.com/FF6QtdWsds

The term “cave” may be overused, at least from this fan’s perspective. He calls it his Michigan Den.
