Michigan Taking 2,300 Seats Out of the Big House

Michigan Stadium might still be No. 1, but Penn State is now hot on its heals.

From Mark Snyder of Freep.com:

The University of Michigan announced today that the iconic stadium's capacity will be reduced this season to 107,601, a loss of 2,300 seats due to re-configuring for non-football events and compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act. The capacity was previously 109,901.

The new stadium capacity is still tops in the nation, ahead of second-place Penn State's Beaver Stadium, which is listed at 106,572.

Hell, Ohio Stadium's record attendance is 108,610. Ohio State should throw a few more seats into the Shoe and take that No. 1 spot from Michigan. It's the only No. 1 spot they have left.
