As I mentioned in another thread...
OK, I can't understand why there is nary a mention of this here in the Sports Forum. The Big Chill in the Big House was huge for several reasons:
1. The attendance of 113,411 eclipsed the former Hockey attendance record (Germany) by more than 35,000.
2. More people attended this event than any football game in Michigan Stadium history (and they've had 100,000+ fans per game since 1975).
3. Largest NCAA crowd ever (again, surpassing Michigan's football program).
4. This event was attended by more than 42,000 fans over the NHL's record setting 2008 Winter Classic.
5. Eclipses the NFL's single game record (a Super Bowl no less) by almost 10,000.
6. Surpasses the MLB's single game attendance record by more than 20,000.
The best part is Michigan win 5-0 over Michigan State.
