The University of Michigan's iconic Michigan Stadium will display advertisements for the first time in its 99-year history. The university has partnered with Coca-Cola, Meijer, and Google Gemini through its new Leaders and Best Champion Partners Program.

The program aims to align revenue opportunities with Michigan's traditions and fan expectations while supporting student-athletes amid the changing college athletics landscape.

University of Michigan Director of Athletics Warde Manuel described the program as an evolution that strengthens the university's ability to remain a national leader and support its student-athletes in the modern era of college athletics.
