Venue Biography: Crisler Arena, home to the Michigan Wolvervine basketball teams, stands as a tribute to the great Herbert O. "Fritz" Crisler, Michigan's third all-time winning football coach. Crisler served 10 years as Michigan's football coach (1938 - 1947) and 27 years as athletic director (1941 - 1968). The arena was designed by Dan Dworksky, who played under coach Crisler as a defensive linebacker and was also part of the Michigan football team, the "Mad Magicians", who brought home the National College Football Championship in 1947. While serving as a site of Big Ten Conference championship events, Crisler has also played host to the likes of Pearl Jam, Bill Cosby, the Grateful Dead, and even Elvis Presley during his final concert tour. More recently, the arena was rocked by none other than Elton John. Accessibility: Handicap parking is available in the lots around the Crisler Arena. There are accessible entrances at the north, northwest, south, and southwest ends of the building. All four entrances enter into the second, main level. There are no public elevators available.
