UM fan attendance at MSU

Submitted by michfan84 on
I'm going to try and make it to the MSU game this year. It would be my first UM-MSU game at Spartan Stadium, and I was wondering, how many UM fans do you expect to be in the house? Let's assume we're 7-0 and they're 6-1. Spartan Stadium holds about 75,000. What would you guess? 10,000 Michigan fans? 20,000?

A few others have told their stories of M fans with msu connections, so here's mine:

When I was in second grade, my school had a day where everyone was supposed to wear apparel from their favorite college team. I knew nothing about Michigan, mighigan state, GVSU, none of them. So I told my mom that I needed a shirt for the next day and she came back from the store with a michigan state shirt. I wore it the next day and suddenly found myself alienated from some of my firends and aligned with others I barely knew. "You like state!? Ew!" and "You like the spartans, too? Cool!" I hadn't been expecting that because I had not been into sports at all. That night at dinner, still wearing my michigan state shirt, I turned to my big brother and said "You like michigan state, right?" He grunted with a mouth full of spaghetti and simply said "No. Michigan." and went back to eating. I felt terrible. Like I had let him down. And from that moment on, I was a Michigan fan.

Sometimes I see state fans and I shake my head sympathetically because they didn't have a big brother who loved them enough to ensure they grew up maize and blue.
