Michigan
Stadium, nicknamed The Big House, is the famous football stadium
for the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan.UM Stadium
has often been called "The Carnegie Hall of all Sports"

1927, at a cost of $950,000 and had an original capacity of 72,000.

It
is currently the second largest stadium in the United States. This
is due to a reduction of 1,300 seats because of a lawsuit on behalf
of disabled patrons, ruled in March 2008. It is the fourth largest
stadium in the world, and the 31st largest sports venue in general
(which includes auto racing and horse racing tracks, among others).

On
June 21, 2007, the University's Board of Regents approved a $226
million renovation and expansion project for Michigan Stadium which
is expected to be completed by 2010. The project includes replacement
of some bleachers, widening of individual seats, widening of the
aisles and installing hand rails, and the addition of a new press
box, 83 luxury boxes, 3,200 club seats, raising its total seating
capacity from 107,501 to over 108,000.

As
a result of this change, the capacity of the stadium will decrease
to an estimated 106,201 seats for the 2008 and 2009 seasons, placing
it second behind Penn State's Beaver Stadium. Following construction
completion in 2010, Michigan Stadium will once again become the
largest football stadium in America, with a listed attendance of
over 108,000.

University
of Michigan
The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor (U of
M, U-M, UM or simply Michigan) is a coeducational public research
university in the state of Michigan. The university was founded
in 1817 in Detroit, about 20 years before the territory of
Michigan officially became a state, and moved to Ann Arbor
in 1837. Today, it is the state's oldest university and the
flagship campus; there are two satellite campuses —
the University of Michigan-Flint and the University of Michigan-Dearborn.
The university is internationally renowned for its academics.
In its last published survey in 1995, the National Research
Council ranked UM third in the United States in a study that
aggregated evaluations of 41 graduate disciplines and is considered
as one of the original eight Public Ivys.
