Michigan vs Notre Dame in Toledo

On This Day  |  Posted by: Tedd Long  |  10/18/2025

1902: After a night of rain, the University of Michigan football team played Notre Dame on a soft and slippery white clay field at Armory Park — home of the Mud Hens, located at the corner of  Spielbusch Ave. and Orange Street here in Toledo. Michigan won the game 23-0, but the Irish were given credit for slowing Fielding H. Yost's "point-a-minute" squad, which had outscored their opponents 2,821 to 42 from 1901 to 1905.

Wasn' one of the early sights considered for the UM campus in Toledo. That's when it was thought to be yet in Michigan. Hmmm
