Michigan has played at the U-M Soccer Complex since 2008, and at the U-M Soccer Stadium (built on the site of the Soccer Complex) since 2010.[5] The entire complex cost $6 million to build and includes three fields, including separate practice fields for both the men's and women's teams.[5] The 2,200-seat stadium is built around the central field, and it includes stands on both sides of the field that are both covered by a roof.[5] The stadium features a press box, separate home locker rooms for both the men's and women's teams, an athletic medicine training room, and handicap seating, as well as restrooms and concessions for spectators.[5]
Michigan Ultras
The Michigan Ultras are the student support section for both the men's and the women's team.[6] They support the Michigan Wolverines men's and women's soccer teams from the student section. The section, consisting of over 900 members,[citation needed] is located in the student bleachers of the U-M Soccer Complex, and is a registered official student organization with the University of Michigan.[7] The Michigan Ultras was officially founded in the spring of 2010 by Matthew Peven.[8] Possessing an ever-growing fanbase, their members are known for their loyal dedication in supporting the men's and women's soccer teams by creating an energized atmosphere through organized chanting and cheering.[9] Several of their chants can be found on their YouTube page[10] and website.[11]
