Just announced today that the newly remodeled stadium has a capacity of 109,901.
I suspect that won't last for too long as that game of oneupmanship is a big deal in college football.
There are still around 20 luxury suites available at prices of $55,000 to $85,000 per season with a
three year committment required. If the economy was better I suspect those would be long gone by now.

According to Wikipedia, Tiger Stadium at max capacity would make the stadium the 6th largest city in the state.
<< <i>Tiger Stadium is #9 but the maximum capacity is questionable. 2005 LSU/Auburn game was close to 93,000 but at the stadium they announced a total of over 101,000. It took us about 30 minutes to get from our seats to the exit after the game.

<< <i>not a Michigan fan at all but I think they have some of the nicest and most classic helmets out there >>
I disagree... I think Delaware Fightin' Blue Hens helmets are much nicer.
End of discussion

Win something (i.e. national championship)and Jeff will remove the photo.
Till then STFU!
<< <i>not a Michigan fan at all but I think they have some of the nicest and most classic helmets out there >>
I respectfully disagree. Michigan helmets should be wrapped with toilet paper because they look like crap.

Even if there is disagreement and I am aware of all the Woody Hayes comments- the decision to go for two in the 1968 game and not buying gas in Michigan and the folk lore goes on and on...
The snow bowl game of 1950 and the big Michigan win at Columbus that propelled them to the 1951 Rosebowl against Cal-
These stories and events deserve more than a middle finger...

I even believe Woody, Earl Bruce, Paul Brown- Bo, Lloyd Carr, Gary Moeller and the coaches of both Ohio State and Michigan in the history of their respective programs would agree

I think it is fair to say YOU are an OSU fan- which is fine- if you are truly an OSU fan, you would know what happened to Michigan in the game with Ohio State in 1968. This was the game that clearly made Ohio State the front runner for the National Title- before the Rosebowl game against USC- of course, I would rather talk about the Illinois game that nearly cost the Buckeyes the 1968 National Championship- blowing a 24-0 lead against a team that lost 58-8 to ND earlier- it doesn't get any better than that...
Consider developing a respect for the events, players and coaches that made both Ohio State and Michigan that happened before today

How about the 1969 game?

Some coaches move on and leave positions they were better suited to handle. There are some jobs that no matter what you do- the legacy that exists can never be matched- do you want to follow Woody, Bo , Bear or JoePa? I would rather create my own legacy- examples? Hayden Fry at Iowa, Bill Snyder at Kansas State and even Gary Barnett at Northwestern- he never should have left
I understand Rodriguez did not follow Bo, but he stepped into a program that expects perfection and that is tough to deliver... for anyone

He has turned UM into a complete JOKE.
The OSU-M game isn't even a contest these days. I almost feel bad for UM for blowing as bad as they do.
They're evolving into the Big10 whipping boy.

edited to add that after thinking it over, wearing just a Speedo wouldn't be very classy. He would also need to wear an old leather helmet and have two gold coins glued to his nipples.
<< <i>Wow...all this talk about teams that have won championships once each in the last 40 years!!! One had to split it with a Nebraska team that probably would have destroyed them in a true final game, and the other one that needed a couple of overtimes and questionable flag to win the game!! Hilarious! It still makes me laugh when people talk about Big-10 football!
Charles woodson and co. wouldve killed nebraska in 97.
ohio state has won 2 national championships last 40 years.
<< <i>I still remember where I was that day... ahhh such a fond memory.
Oddly enough, I do too...I was in Ohio visiting family...same day that Clay Buchholz pitched his no hitter if I remember correctly.
There were a lot of happy family members that day...and I got a kick out of it too because App State is my alma mater's big rival...
I hate OSU and Michigan though...as a Miami fan, I don't like losing National Championships to a ref.
<< <i>I hate OSU and Michigan though...as a Miami fan, I don't like losing National Championships to a ref. >>
Oh yeah, I loved that day too... we almost broke the floor in my brother's living room from everyone jumping up and down... lol
I still throw in the DVD of the 2003 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl and fast-forward to Will Allen's tackle... "back, and to the left"
<< <i>ohio state has won 2 national championships last 40 years. >>
Since 1968 is longer than 40 years,(apparently you are not living in 2010 like the rest of us!)...I wasn't including that one. But if it makes you feel good about yourself then yes...2 in 42 years!
BUT...they do have twice the number of LOSES in championship games in that time span!!
<< <i>I still throw in the DVD of the 2003 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl and fast-forward to Will Allen's tackle... "back, and to the left"
I cringe everytime I see that. I snapped my ACL, MCL, and PCL, and tore off my knee cap in high school. Similar injury in a similar manner, but my knee buckled inside and I landed with my left ankle on my left hip.
Not a good direction for the thread
By the way- did you have the chance to look at the back to back games from 1968 and 1969?

uh, no i said 40 not 42 years. They also won the national championship in 1970.
Woody Hayes won 5 national championships.

<< <i>OSU won the National Championship in 1970? Which National Championship was this? The AP ranked Nebraska as the National Champion as they gave out their final poll after the bowl games, during which Texas (#1) and OSU (#2) both lost (wow - there's a shock). The UPI gave their title to the Texas Longhorns, since they gave it out before the bowl games, and Texas was #1 at that time. Maybe the Columbus Gazette ranked OSU #1 in their final poll, so the Buckeyes claim that one. >>

<< <i>One had to split it with a Nebraska team that probably would have destroyed them in a true final game[/quote]
You mean the Nebraska team that only went undefeated because the refs ignored the illegality of the game-tying catch against mediocre Missouri?
Am a Michigan guy, through and through, but as I get older the hate for Ohio State lessens just a little bit. Now it's just really, really strong dislike, LOL.
People crap on RichRod and the job he's done at Michigan. Of course, they ignore that Lloyd Carr left him absolutely nothing to work with when he retired. Nothing at all. Then Rodriguez is left to overhaul an entire program with the leftovers from a team that ran a completely different system. Yeah, you're going to struggle doing that (though losing to App State is still not acceptable - even if App State that year would have been favored against half of 1-A...)
Anyway, I love Michigan football and can't wait for the season to start.

Do your homework. Ohio state is credited with 7 national championships. Their 6th championship came in 1970 when they won a share of the national championship by the NFF.
So let's talk about how many REAL National Titles OSU has won. In 1942 they split the titles with Georgia. OK, fair enough. We'll give them credit for one. In 1954 you went undefeated and won a few choices, but UCLA got most of them. In 1968 you won most of the titles while going undefeated. This is a year where you are the consensus champion. And in 2002 you were given the National Title by the referees against the Miami Hurricanes. So, I see two consensus titles (68 and 02), and two titles that you shared 50/50 (42 and 54). Any other years that OSU won some sort of title (33, 44, 57, 61, 69, 70, 73, 74, 75) are just pipe dreams. They are as valuable as the titles that Texas and Georgia 'won' in 1968, when Georgia was 8-1-2 and OSU was undefeated. They are just silly. Anybody can give anybody a championship. Kinda like boxing.
<< <i>Oh, I see. I saw it beforehand. But it is just such a rinkydink title that it means virtually nothing. Much like the 1961 "National Championship" that OSU claims from 1961 when it got the FWAA and PS titles, while Alabama went undefeated and won all of the others. Or the 1957 title when OSU won the UPI because UPI wouldn't recognize a team on probation, even though Auburn was clearly the best team in the country. Or the 1944 "National Championship" when Army was the consensus National Champion and clearly had the best team in the nation. And 1933, when you won the "Dunkel System" National Championship, while Michigan won the consensus title (and beat OSU 13-0 while at it).

Gee, a debate in college football lol? Never heard of that one.
Whether you agree or not, it is in the record books that ohio state has 7 national championships. Many other teams have shared championships and doesnt take anything away from them. In 1970 3 teams split the national title. Ohio state, nebraska, and texas. However only 2 of those teams,(OSU, and nebraska) were givin the title after the bowls were played.
Many felt in 1970 that Notre dame should have been awarded the national title because they beat #1 texas in the cotton bowl. But being there was and still is no playoff, it always makes a good debate.

As for attendance records- Soldier's Field in Chicago- 1929- USC and ND- that was over 120,000
