      The Rose Parade is held on New Year's Day every year in Pasadena, California. In order to enter a float in the parade every inch of every float must be covered with flowers or other natural materials, such as leaves, seeds or bark. And the floats are unbelievably magnificent. Some include automated elements which also must comply with these rules. The floats are judged, of course, in many different categories.

    16:56 the reason “The 12th Man” is trademarked and protected by Texas A&M University is because of its meaning. Its reference to the fans, or in this case the student body. It stems from the 1922 Cotton Bowl Classic bowl game. Texas A&M was playing the defending National Champion Center College. A&M suffered so many injuries in the first half that the coach, D.X. Bible, was concerned about being able to field a team for the second half of the game. So at half time a student, (E. King Gill, who had been on the the team but left after the regular season to play for the A&M basketball team,) who was in the stands was asked to suit up as a possible substitute player. Since that day, every student (and indeed every fan capable) in attendance at every game has stood for the entire game. To show their support and willingness to actually suit up and physically play in the game should the school and team need them to. E. King Gill, was the actual, original and literal “12th man”.

    The crazy thing about Michigan's stadium, besides its size, is that it's a bowl dug out of the ground. As you walk up to it from the side it doesn't look like much until you're inside and it's just a huge crater of a stadium inside.

  • @pebblesanddirt

    I attended every Michigan home game from 1969 to 2009 (my mom from 1952 to 2009, including through four pregnancies) It really has to be seen from the inside to appreciate it.

    I would imagine that all the stadiums had less seating when they opened than they do now. Michigan's Big House had only 84,001 seating capacity when it opened in 1927. The Rose Parade floats must be made out of organic outer material. It is one of the best annual parades to watch.

    while the capacity is 107,000 when you add in all the people at the game working, security, media, concessions, plus the team and staff Michigan set their attendance record at 115,109 in 2013 at a game against Notre Dame.
    They also set the attendance record for the largest crowd at a hockey game, at 104,000 in 2010.
    The Michigan Stadium, from the outside is deceptively small, and much of the bowl, and the entire field is well below street level. When it first opened, the street level was the top of the stands (seating about 80,000) but then expanded up another 20 rows or so, bringing over 100,000. It was designed and built in a way to easily allow a second deck, which designer Fielding Yost envisioned could allow up to 150,000 people to attend. (But I would bet it would be closer to 125-130,000)

    It's actually somewhat rare for a large new college football stadium to be built. Most of these just get major renovations. Keep in mind that most of these are taxpayer funded institutions, so building an opulent, multi-billion dollar stadium is likely frowned upon (the team training facilities are another matter). Most are also on campus, so likely limited space to build new there without tearing down the existing stadium 1st. Many of the new builds are either returning the stadium to campus or replacing an inadequate one.

      @@runrafarunthebestintheworld The one before it, Protective Stadium in Birmingham AL, has one hell of a story to go along with it's construction.
      In 2014, after the team had it's first non-losing season in 10 years, the U-Alabama board killed the football team. There's a lot of hearsay involving Alabama worried about another in-state team gaining ground in college football, reality was that it had to do with balancing the athletics budget, and the Track team was getting ew and really good deals while the football team wasn't.
      A fund-raising campaign from a few UAB millionaires led to a deal to restore the football program, but their donations were put toward a new stadium that was closer to the campus. For a long time, UAB was operating out of the infamous Legion Field. Well after Alabama and Auburn stopped hosting big games and the Iron Bowl there. Thing was that the area was far from campus and in a neighborhood that was, for lack of a better word, was shady. Not to mention that even if the biggest game in UAB history were to happen, they'd totally be unable to pack the stadium with fans.
      Getting the new stadium, and revitalizing the program with the coaching staff that was initially present was a boon to the program. They've had winning seasons since, been 4-2 in bowl games, and won their conference's championship twice.

      I'm remembering the Knight House at UCF, currently called FBC Mortgage Stadium, which I think was shockingly inexpensive at the time (it hasn't hit 100 million in _today's_ dollars yet) but from what I can tell, they got what they paid for. No shade for a sunny day in Florida, cracked façade (I did use spell check to get the proper character there), no water fountains... and so tiny that I bet some of their mandated Big 12 home games against Oklahoma or Texas or the like, are going to be moved to what I still call the Citrus Bowl, Camping World Stadium (which for some reason Madden '23 always has the announcers treat a hypothetical Orlando team's stadium as if it IS Camping World Stadium.

    The stadium for the University of Louisville, L&N Federal Credit Union Stadium (formerly Papa John's Cardinal Stadium), was built in 1998 holding 42,000. It's been expanded twice now and holds 61,000. Basketball is our focus in KY though. Our basketball arena holds 22,000. The arena for the state school, The University of Kentucky, holds 20,000 for basketball. Their football stadium originally held over 57,000 back in 1973 but has been expanded to seat over 67,000, so you can see even where basketball is king, football is still a pretty big deal.

The two states hate each other so much that cops will ticket cars from the other state on game day even if not doing anything wrong.

It's weird because I'm a Notre Dame fan due to my Dad going there back in the 60's and 70's, but I also root for UCF because a friend went there, and it kind of bugs me that it's considered a stepping-stone school.

    Was offered to buy some seats at Texas but at $100 a seat per game was not for me. Plus they were terrible seats. To get good seats like most stadiums you have to contribute to the sports program and purchase the entire season some have a lottery also. Most have had the better seats for many many years. Otherwise you either pay big bucks or sit in the section that requires oxygen up high. Probably the same at other big Universities. So if you visit America and think you can go to a game and watch the cheer leaders think again. Smaller universities and high school games are cheaper and usually just as much fun.

    A lot of people are surprised how popular college sports are that are from other countries. What you got to also realize there are only 32 nfl teams and some have 2 teams in the same city. Look how big the US is and how a lot of cities don't have a professional team around them. Almost every city has a college team close though. People take a lot of pride in the US on where they are from and support their team very passionately. Football also stated with colleges so it's history also. But when you got 300 and something division one college teams that's a lot more passionate cities about a team that how many teams the nfl has to offer. I mean if you think about the premier league in England, how many teams are within a hour of each other. A lot of states in the US don't even have a nfl team.

The stadium also holds attendance records for college and professional ice hockey with just over 104,000 and 105,000 fans in attendance respectfully. University of michigan played michigan state in "the big chill at the big house" and the detroit red wings played the Toronto maple Leafs in the 2014 nhl winter classic.

    The fun part with the weather report before MSU games is that late in the season you'll hear the PA guy say something like "The weather forecast today... winds out of the NE at 15 mph, 65% chance of rain. Today's current temperature is 35 degrees... It's a beautiful day for football!" and the crowd roars in approval lol

    And just think it is possible for all 25 stadiums to be filled on a Saturday in the fall. Also most of the references you didn’t understand are about the teams coaches and either their poor performance or a scandal involving them or staff under them.

    14:08 Imagine most of these stadiums being full for every football game during the fall, just for a college/university team, since college/university games aren’t that popular there like they are here in the US. Just shows how many people LOVE college sports here, and how ridiculously large our country is! I love it! Nobody wants to go to a University of Kentucky or a University of Louisville game these days, but if you ever find yourself here, I’ll give you free tickets!

    The phrase ‘The 12th Man’ was trademarked by the University in 1989 as exactly what you know it to mean - the stadium is that. Well-known in the conference. 2 professional teams - the Seahawks which had purchase a license to use it, and then another one (the Colts) just broke trademark law. I would assume knowingly. Many trademarks are very aggressively defended by their owners because they have value. I think that’s what happened here - doesn’t seem that crazy to me at all. The University sued the use/promotion of the phrase for the exact same purpose of the trademark.

    Yes, these stadiums have all been heavily renovated since their first game. They would be unrecognizable to those early fans. When a team is doing well, all these stadiums will sell out generating a truck load of money for the schools.

    Not sure who the narrator is, but. Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Nebraska has packed 91,000+ into it. During game days the stadium becomes the 3rd largest city in the state. Also they’ve had about 390 straight sellout games in a row, the current college record.
    Lincoln isn’t exactly a small town with a population of about 300,000 people.

    Actually during Covid the seats were technically not empty as they were filled in with the cardboard cutouts that film companies use to make places look like it’s filled in. It’s because no one sold tickets for games but the players still did their thing. WWE and AEW did empty stadium matches in Orlando and Jacksonville. Basically trainee wrestlers from the back would come out and watch matches play out and learn from the guys in the ring. WWE Did the thunder dome concept where tons of monitors would be there with a live internet feed of people watching matches go on. The other companies basically shut down because they couldn’t get anyone together. Now everyone is back in the stadiums and it’s getting sold out again.

  • @mattc2824

    -- 1932, & 1984 Summer Olympics. It will also host the 2028 Summer Olympics
    -- University of Southern California (USC) football since the stadium opened in 1923
    -- NASCAR Busch Clash since 2022
    -- Los Angeles Rams (1946-1979, 2016-2019)
    -- University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA) football (1928-1981)
    -- When the Dodgers moved from Brooklyn to Los Angeles, the LA Colesieum was the first stadium they had it hosted the 1959 World Series. They moved to a more permanent home in Dodgers Stadium in 1962
    -- Los Angeles Chargers of the AFL in 1960. They relocated to San Diego in 1961.
    -- when the Oakland Raiders moved to Los Angeles, the Raiders used the LA Colesieum from 1982 to 1994. They'd relocate back to Oakland. Then, eventually, to Las Vegas.
    -- it's hosted FIM Supercross, Monster Energy Supercross, trophy truck racing, monster truck racing, etc
    So.... safe to say, it's got quite the history!

    The top of the college football pyramid has roughly 120 different universities. Of those 120 only like 40 of them are "big time" programs that will sell out their stadiums on a regular basis. There are a lot of reasons. 1. they only play 12 games a year, so scarcity. 2. most big universities are not in pro cities. Nebraska for example does not have a pro team so Nebraska is basically their pro team. This is the same for high school football too. 3. Most of the big universities have roughly 30,000 to 50,000 students enrolled there any given year. Also, once your graduate from a university you are now apart of that university. Most of these universities have been around for 100 plus years and alumni of these universities have been giving back for centuries through donated money. Most of that money helps build these massive stadiums and fund things like scholarships and libraries...etc. Also alumni love attending and supporting THEIR university.

    @david-1775 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Empty stadiums... or at least not fully packed, generally happen one of two ways. 1. You team is dominant and you are playing a TERRIBLE team. Even though all the tickets might be sold you can't always get people to show up for those games. 2. Your team is garbage, by the end of the year, nobody wants to show up and watch the team get beaten. It is isn't very common for the big schools but it can and does happen.

    Capacity isn't everything.

It's even earned the moniker of "The House of Loud", a shame to see it snubbed here.

    The Big House (Michigan Stadium) has sold at least 100,000 tickets every home game since Oct. 25, 1975. The play they show in the box is what I (and many other MSU fans) refer to as "trouble with the snap". Mentioning this in the vicinity of Michigan fans will elicit a strong feelings of embarrassment and despair, because if they hadn't fumbled they would have won. I would love to see you react to this (and other great/legendary American football plays) if you haven't already done so. Another fun fact is that Ohio State's stadium (#3) has blue and yellow in their stadium because of a bet made with Michigan on the first game ever played there. Another good video topic would be best college football rivalries - I'm partial to MSU-UM and UM-OSU (fuck Ohio State).

    Tim tebo was Florida’s major player under coach Urban Meyer. He went on to play professionally but was benched in his first season and never actually played a single game and switched to broadcasting which he is actually better at doing. Urban left college football to try the professional league though earning a spot on a team he wasn’t great at his job and was relegated to the backup teams. Meyer disappeared from football and hasn’t been heard from in some time. Currently Florida university is struggling to get their act together in the upcoming season as they replaced the quarterback who graduated already.
