Joining an Arsenal Supporters Club in Michigan comes with a myriad of benefits that enhance the overall experience of being a Gunners fan. First and foremost, the sense of community is unparalleled. Being part of a club means that you are never alone in your support. You have a group of like-minded individuals who share your passion, understand your excitement, and empathize with your disappointments. This camaraderie is especially comforting during pivotal matches, where the collective energy of the group can turn any venue into a cauldron of emotion.
There are currently three Arsenal supporters clubs in the great state of Michigan, but we expect that number to increase as the North London team continues to grow in popularity Stateside.
Arsenal Supporters Clubs and Soccer Bars in Michigan
Arsenal Detroit
There are currently three Arsenal fan groups in Michigan. Detroit Arsenal began in 1940 and now occupies over 100 acres and 67 buildings in the city. But we are here to talk about Arsenal Detroit, not the Detroit Arsenal military base. Now we’ve cleared that up, let’s talk about the supporters club of Arsenal FC in Detroit that was formed by ex-pat Gooner Michael Clements who moved to Detroit in 1996 back when there were no matches available on TV.
Arsenal Detroit watches their games at McShane’s Irish Pub that stands next to the old site of Tiger Stadium (on the famed corner of Michigan & Trumball). You can’t miss it. It’s painted Arsenal red.
Arsenal Ann Arbor
A mere 40 miles west of Detroit you will find the SouthEastMichiganGooners in Ann Arbor Michigan. This small group consists of local area Arsenal fans and college students who meet at Conor O’Neill’s Irish Pub in downtown Ann Arbor.
Arsenal Grand Rapids
The most Northerly of the Michigan Arsenal groups meet at the SpeakEZ Lounge on Monroe Avenue in Grand Rapids where they’ve been watching Arsenal games in this special soccer bar since 2012. And if you’re visiting Upper Michigan you may be interested to know it is the second home of the Cornish Pasty. They always go down well with a pint and 3 points.
Nothing matches the joy of watching Arsenal win in a bar packed with fellow supporters. But if you can’t make it to the pub, here is our guide to watching Arsenal games on TV in the US.
