At the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, the Diag is a large open space in the middle of the university's Central Campus. The Diag derives its name from the many sidewalks running near or through it in diagonal directions. It is arguably the busiest site on the university campus, hosting a variety of events including outdoor concerts, fundraisers, demonstrations, and sun bathing. The Diag is also a popular spot for local people to hang out.

This has been made considerably more difficult in recent years as the belltower no longer rings at midnight.
