Wolverine fans are reclaiming their seats in Michigan Stadium to enjoy live game action for the first time since 2019. And while some fans look to the future, others will be thrilled to look back, thanks to a digital project led by Greg Kinney, archivist at U-M’s Bentley Historical Library. The Bentley and its external partners recently completed digitizing game film from 55 years of Michigan Football.
