And it's nudged along by the campus rules

Which were put in place a some years ago, IIRC just before your time, that tailgating during the game by students was declared streng verboten.

Before that there was a large group of students who continued to tailgate in front of Legends (or rather, Senior Bar at the time) during the game.

Guaranteed there is no such rule for students at Michigan. It's likely unenforceable there even if there were.
