You guys have two Ford Exploders? You might need a Plan C there, Cam. :D
She picked hers out without my input. Mine is a 94 and has over 150k miles. This is probably only the 3rd time I have had it in the shop for something mechanical. Besides that it has been the a/c and maintenance.

I had no idea that Michigans stadium was that big! Wow or Neyland (never went to an away game at Tennessee)......

Every time I see the place it doesn't look like it can handle over 100,000 people. Guess it is because there are no tiers. I would love to see a game there though. A buddy of mine makes it up there once a year and raves about the atmosphere.
I didn't believe it either until the first time I walked in. The entire stadium is below ground. You walk in at row 76 or something and then it just goes down. You don't really get a feel for how big it is until you go to row 1 and look up. I was part of the crowd for the game that holds the attendance record there. It's really unreal. If you ever get the chance I recommend going.

Oh and one more thing....
you have like a total of six inches for your ass. The entire row has to stand and sit together for big plays, etc.

The Rose Bowl is the one of the few stadiums that gives me goosebumps. I was there on New Years Day of 2004 and it really is one of the special places in all of sports.

Anyone wanting a spreadsheet w/attendances and capcities for a few years let me know. Was knee deep in that stuff during the realignment.
Eh? Come on, Red. I might have your Dawg Nation card hauled oph! Everyone in GA knows Sanford Stadium holds 92k! There was so much hootin' and hollerin when UF expanded their stadium last year, afraid The Swamp might surpass them in capacity. Alas, your neighbors to the west should surpass you next year when Alabama finishes another upper terrace to raise capacity to 94k or so.
Phan, don't you have a more recent pic of Lane? I know that both end zone sections have been redone as of late, so that one shot seems old to me. What will the capacity when the press/luxury box renovations are complete?

I'll have to look into this as I must admit my sport priorities are:
Arsenal
Redskins
Hokies
Arsenal U-6 ga team ;)

I think I've been to games in about 16 different 1A stadiums. Granted, many of them were in the early 90's. Looking forward to seeing the renovated digs at NCSU and Clemson sometime soon.
Watch out for those U-6 Knights, though. Their long ball game isn't fun to watch, but it works for them... :)

'Til the morning, then folks. I'm wrapping up and heading home. Safe and happy, ya'll.

yeah but have you heard 40,000 or so pairs of keys being shaken at the same time on every 3rd down our defense phaces? that is why Kirky Herbstreit named Va Tech as the toughest stadium to play in. :cool:
