How is the Michigan Stadium and Ann Arbor Infrasturcture going to be able to handle all the Canadians coming across the border for the Winter Classic? Didn't anyone know its going to be cold January 1! And the throngs of media for that game. How will the stadium handle it? Ann Arbor is doomed! |
| 4 weeks 1 day ago | Simple math |
Yes, very rough math assuming 25K students out of 100,000 total fans. As you said the overarching point is Michigan has 75K or more people coming in from outside the AA borders to attend a game. The same thing happens on every single campus of every single major player in college football. The infrastructure argument holds no water. |

Of the 75,000 non-students who attend a Michigan home game, 65,000 or more live outside Ann Arbor. The city has no problems handling that number of people coming from outside the city. A playoff home game would see very little difference from a Michigan - Ohio game. People drive in, park, tailgate and drive out. People travelling from out of state find rooms in Ann Arbor, Plymouth, Brighton, etc. Drive in, park, tailgate, drive out. People who have RV's do the same. They drive in the night before like always, park tailgate, go home. This happens every Saturday in the fall in college towns across the United States. People are now trying to create issues where there are none. |

Not trying to be rude, but are you serious? An NFL Stadium, take the Super Dome or Georgia Dome, Joe Robbie Stadium or Univ. of Phoenix Stadium, is even less equipped to handle the "colossal draw of humanity," all showing up in RV's. Have you been to a SEC game where 1/4 of the fans show up in RV's. Or a Penn State or any big time college stadium? This argument is nearly as laughable as Hancocks!

So, it appears that Hancock has not been to a big time college football game in a while. Let's take Michigan - Notre Dame from this past year or Michigan - Ohio from 2006.. You're telling me that there will be more media attending those games than a National Semi-Final? Maybe a handful. As for fans, if he would walk around a campus he would easily see that for the 100,000 fans inside the stadium, there are another 25,000 outside without tickets tailgating, watching at bars, etc. Infrastructure. Laughable. The real reason is cold weather and money. Southern teams / conferences don't want to entertain the thought of playing at Michigan Stadium or the Horseshoe in December. Also, the power brokers are looking at having a windfall of money by having sites bid on the games while charging $300 plus per ticket for the semi-finals and probably a Super Bowl-esque $500+ for the National Championship. That is absurd. It will lead to less than optimal attendance at the semi-final games and the less affluent fans will save their money and only travel to the Championship game. |

OSU. You want Urban Meyer as coach. Fine. Bring it. I ain't afraid of him or anyone he puts on his staff. |

Is that a shoddily written report. The Detroit Lions are no closer to being on the verge of financial collapse as Mark D'antonio is on the verge of being a classy individual. An NFL franchise is a medium to print money. I doubt the writer of the story took into consdieration all the various revenue streams for an NFL team. In fact most teams can be profitable without selling a single ticket. The only area where the Lions are not maximizing revenue is in the sale of Club seats and Suites. The purchase of those is directly coorelated to winning. |

Barnes and Noble in Northville had 20 or so copies left as of 1pm. But they were selling fast. Even the clerks were a little befudled as to the popularity of a book they had never heard of. |
