Morgan Wallen Concerts Bring Economic Boost to Ann Arbor Businesses

Police expected more than 75,000 people at each Michigan Stadium concert, and nearby shops and vendors reported strong weekend sales.

  • Morgan Wallen fans packed Ann Arbor for back-to-back concerts this weekend at Michigan Stadium, with police expecting more than 75,000 people at each show delivering a major economic boost to local businesses.
  • Sasha French, an employee at Driphouse Coffee, reported a customer surge unlike anything she had seen recently, saying, "There was a line out the door for like four hours straight yesterday and it was even crazier today."
  • Beyond coffee shops, other vendors capitalized on the crowds; Melissa DeMars at the Pizza House tent noted a needed lift, while Toronto visitor Amanda Pokhoy said the pop-up food locations were "very convenient that it was located right next to the gate."
  • Eastern Michigan University student Damian Martinez sold parking spots at his grandfather's home near the stadium to save money for his sophomore year of college.
  • Visitors like Jen Shaneck, who traveled from Toledo, had planned the trip over a year in advance, while French is already looking forward to the next major event at Michigan Stadium.
