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!

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

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!

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?

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.

I haven’t started my springtime starvation diet yet. Don’t go giving me a complex, now.
(And who sits at a football game?)
