Around SBN: PHOTOS: Mike Moser's Dunk Face Is Spectacular

BIG HOUSE, YES. BIGGEST HOUSE, NO.

America's largest stadium belongs to Penn State now, thanks to litigious various-plegics. Now Michigan fans can finally point out to who was screaming "DOWN IN FRONT" all those years, though, so that much has been solved. (Oh, and if you have full use of your legs and arms and are still screaming this, we will personally smack the prints off our hands using your face for the abrasive surface.)

Wheelchair accessible seats, which take up 12 times as much room as normal seats, will be added as part of a plan adopted by Michigan officials in order to settle a lawsuit by the Michigan Paralyzed Veterans of America. The ramps and seating will be added as part of the contested $226 million dollar stadium expansion involving luxury box addition, etc, and will not therefore be too big of a deal in terms of construction.

Where it does bite: the title of America's Most Bigassin-est Stadium. This honor, because of the reduction of seating, now belongs to Beaver Stadium at Penn State, which holds a 107,282 to 106,201 advantage over the Big House. Neyland Stadium in Tennessee would blow both of these out of the water if only officials would give up their quixotic attempt to prohibit the use of tree stands on the light poles at the stadium.


No, Rusty! Don't shoot Tebow, you'll only git him angry!

Or if they only allowed out-of-staters in the stadium, a damn UT fan (except Holly, natch) must take up a good 2.5 times the space of a normal fan.

Isn’t ANY seat a shitty seat if you are watching Penn State, Michigan, or Tennessee?

Only if you’re a Florida fan watching the Capitol One Bowl.

It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again. #6, is that you?

And the Big House will have plenty of empty seats when the entire sorry conference that is the Big 11 starts whipping Coach Fraudriguez and his bunch

#1,

Your dead on. Neyland would hold close to 200K but most of their fans resemble the UT coaching staff. Thus, bringing max capacity down to something slightly above 100K.

This has been documented at either census.gov or lemonparty.org or something like that. I forget.

As to Neyland Stadium, they got their numbers up to 107,whatever by reducing the size of their seats. What was at one time a 12 inch seat is now an 8 incher. BRILLIANT!!! AND, I must say, there aren’t but a few sorority girls that would fit in one of the seats, Holly included, of course.

I haven’t started my springtime starvation diet yet. Don’t go giving me a complex, now.

(And who sits at a football game?)

We’re #1! We’re #1!

Suck it, Michigan!

You don’t get it- by allowing half people and other assorted cripples, we’re actually going to increase attendance.

I majored in wheel chair stacking in Ann Arbor.

A&M is expanding to 115K? Wow… that’s a lot of nut-grabbers in one place.

Any word on whether the new capacity will be enough to appease the Schythian Rape Beast?

Correction: Terrier, not Beast…

Why is everyone kissing Holly’s butt?

What You Tube? Really? Wow!

Never mind.

Treestand on the lightpoles? I’m trying to find the slight here. I can’t. This is a splendid idea.

And as far as wheelchairs….when my Dad dropped me off in Knoxpatch before my freshman year he told me about how his frat welded pony kegs into the wheel chair frame and made several pledges “wheel” themselves into the student section for a Bammeroid game. So maybe Michigan’s strategy isn’t an altruistic nod towards the disabled but a very clever, diabolical machination by the Greeks at UM to pour some life into Big Blue Home games. Wait nevermind, these are the slicksters that bust out the keys right?

KEY PLAY! KEY PLAY!

At Neyland, you have to deduct the 4 useless seats right behind Phat Phil.
