What an awesome game to attend. Most fun I've had at a hockey game since The Cold War in 2001. GO BLUE!

It is unfortunate that we had to change sports in order to win a late year game in the Bid House. Go Blue

The empty seats photographed in the slide show were the ONLY area of the Stadium that wasn't packed (student section, I think). It was amazing... definitely chilly, but it seemed to us that most people stuck it out to the end. The post-game fireworks were great!

I left after the first period because I wasn't feeling well and it seemed like a lot of people went with me-- it's a shame this game had to be in the middle of finals. I am not surprised by the attendance figures that have been released, the stadium was pretty crowded but it took some people a while to get there and not everybody stayed the whole time.

Official attendance 113,441 - largest crowd to witness an event inside Michigan Stadium.

There is no way there are 110,000 people there. Look at the empty seats!

So, how many people showed-up for this thing? Doesn't look like that many from the pics here, and I'm not in a place where I can see TV at the moment. Any attendance figures yet?
