Nah, there were too many people in the student section yesterday.

Who knows. There were no turnstiles or counters, unless the folks at the gates were clicking some kinda handheld devices, which I seriously doubt.
I'd estimate that it was somewhere between 45 and 55K. If I'm off, I'm probably shorting it, rather than the other way around. It was a very healthy crowd.
Anyway...it was one helluva good time. I doubt that the Spring Game has ever even come close to at least somewhat replicating an actual game day atmosphere before -- and I gotta say, this one actually did.
We totally lucked out insofar as parking goes. Being almost completely unfamilar with AA in general and just kinda driving around, we lucked into a metered street spot right in front of some Thai restaurant (forget the name) on S. Main. Walked around a little bit and hit M-Den and had a great late lunch/early dinner at Jolly Pumpkin.
After we parked and got out of the car, a local Ann Arborite was walking by and said, "Oh man, nice spot -- I'd definitely hold onto that for this evening, because there's gonna be nothing left soon." We had arrived a little before 4 PM and paid for the maximum time of 2 hours, and I asked, "are you sure we're OK?" And she said, "Oh yeah -- they stop checking these things after 5:30."
Good piece of advice, as we returned to an un-ticketed, un-towed vehicle after the game.
I guess Pioneer was kinda hellish to get out of afterwards, from what I've been hearing.

Thanks, bruh.
One thing I gotta do, for realz, is to learn Ann Arbor a little bit better before the fall.
Surely you can't be serious

Had to be 50,000. Was unbelievable.
That is damn impressive...
The way some were bitching about the Friday evening game, I thought it might end up being a embarrassment instead.
That Harbaugh guy might actually know what he's doing...
The weather worked out for the second straight year. Looked rainy a week ago and then on gameday it was 0% precip.
Would've sucked if the game was today. It's snowing.
I wouldn't mind another night spring game. Just have it on Saturday.
so much. it is a gas, and heaven knows, it would be so much fun to have a bowl game somewhere, anywhere, with an SEC team when the snow was flying sideways into the earholes of their helmets. i'm guessing the balance of power on the whole might tip rather dramatically toward the B10.
Yup, that's my photo. Was a great time.
I am surprised that no one freaked out over the "Weber" grill advertisement on the scoreboard.
At one point it was an ad for Milk from the Michigan Dairy Farmers and it seemed quite fitting.
To get 100,000 in the stadium you have to have everyone sitting close together and occupying a single seat. For the spring game people spread out. So even through the stadium appeared a little over half full, I doubt it was at half capacity.
the sections along the sidelines had decent numbers, but they weren't gameday density. There were a lot of 1-2 seat gaps here and there between groups of people. The endzones were pretty much empty except for the first 5 rows or so. Still a lot more than I expected.
The East and West sides were full but there were a lot of people in the club seats--both indoor and outdoor--and the suites.
I read that it was roughly 60k but it didnt say if that was official.
I don't think there is an official attendance for a game with no tickets used.
43,602
