This is wonderful -- thanks for putting it together. I could relive this every day of the week and not get tired of it. What an experience, well captured here...well, except for the no-Jeremy-Gallon-thing. :)
Nice work with this insanely ridiculous epic. As a band alumn, I especially enjoyed the fact that you didn't waste a lot of minutes on that athletic contest, along with your clever captions.
Im not even a michigan fan, but i saw this game on tv and will never forget it. And the part that will always stand out in my mind is when the camera showed the crowd during 7 nation army and it looked like the stadium was moving with the pom poms.
I was at this game, its monday and i still cant speak. This game was everything that is greaqt about michigan football. I dare anyone to name a stadium that had more energy than the Big House on this night. You could literally feel it in the air
It's a combination of a few factors. Colleges have student sections, areas for the marching band, and alumni sections. This can add quite a bit of ticket demand/allocation for most universities. Also, most pro stadiums are quite large, but they like to focus on luxury vs. numbers. For example, the Big House here (college stadium) has bench style seating, while Ford Field (pro stadium) has individual cushioned chairs. Also pro stadiums have bars/restaurants usually, where colleges don't.
To add a couple of points to Downing's response... A) Tickets to pro games tend to be more expensive. Perhaps that can be somewhat attributed to supply & demand, but I'd put the greater weight on player salaries. B) Alumni loyalty. Few people are attached to pro teams through personal experience (i.e., played for or worked for a pro team). Whereas alumni have a vested interest in the university/college based on their attendance there.
as im watching this theres a michigan helicopter flying over my house, 11'oclock, to the michigan hospital. Whenever I see it it reminds me of how proud i am to be a wolverine. where they help people, and play kick ass games
Depends. On big games, exception Super Bowl, college tickets can get crazy. I know getting tickets to #1 OSU vs #2 Michigan @ Columbus in 2006 was easily 4 digit expensive, if not more.
Besides, most college football teams do not have larger stadiums. You're talking about the select few schools that college football basically revolves around. Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State, Texas, Alabama, Notre Dame, etc..
Best crowd at Michigan stadium ever. Stayed the whole game, cheered loud the whole game. And didn’t leave until they were forced out!

I was in Row 22, and I teared up when Desmond Howard received his Award and Started tearing up when we scored the last touchdown. Best Day Of My Life.
This was AWESOME!! I had the TIME OF MY LIFE at the game. Can we do it again?

Greatest college football game I think I have ever watched. To have been there in person would have been amazing.
hey dude i was near u right under the scoreboard. did some people start to leave when we went down with 30 secounds left?
@goblue212 There were some people right behind us that left with 30 seconds to go. Other than that I'm not sure how many others left.

whats the song at 1:57 ? i cant remember it
Sounds like a lot of Red Wing fans were there, too. ;)
Go Blue! What an instant classic. I love my favorite football team so much.
@incredibleanth I don't think I could go through it again without paramedics and a defibrillator nearby.

This game was so exciting! Go Blue!!!!
What was it that night? 115,000? Insanity. Long live Michigan football.
GO BLUE!
Oh I see, thanks for the info!
I don't understand why the College Football teams have larger stadiums than the Professional teams?? Sorry I'm from England.
nice video
31-0 will be remembered forever. #HowYouLikeTheChickenDanceNow?
Michigan has won 38-0 twice in the past 12 years in the rivalry, so go ahead and take your one shutout.
This game will be remembered forever. Salty aren't u
45-14 will be remembered until 2033
@rowlandss10 The White Stripes - Seven Nation Army
Got chills....go blue!
Best tailgate best game. Go Blue
Also, NFL tickets are more expensive, I assume
FUCKIN AWESOME
C) College football is a more passionate, emotional, & I would argue, better entertainment product.
Michigan fans sound like a bunch of 15 year-olds.
@rowlandss10 shame on you...
