The BIG HOUSE

After enjoying the wonderful hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. Teachout we headed for Ann Arbor for some tailgating and the game. We gathered around the Crimson Club party and I got to say hi to the few Utah cheerleaders I still know (forgot to take pics) and then we headed into the stadium 45 min early.

Boo Yeah!
So Teachout bought all the tickets and ours happened to be 3rd row in the opposite end zone from anyone red. Sweet seats.... just a little scary.

So we we're pretty close to the aisle... but you would have no idea. This is a pic of the aisle. Yup people just standing in it. Apparently the Big House fits a little over 107,000 people (used to be 110,000) and there were 108,000 + people attending that game.


Although our trip was planned around going to the game with Teachout, he opted to sit by his family so Bracken and his girl Beth and us sat together. Needless to say we were the only red shirts in probably 25,000 people. (Notice the red belt of Utah fans on the top rows of the opposite end zone, boo yeah Utah)

Game over :) Bracken did have a Utah shirt on but switched once the game was over to avoid being beat up.


Fun trip... I like being Utah Super fans... and what a great season so far!
