Michigan Stadium

The Big House is among the most legendary cathedrals of college football, perhaps not the rowdiest or most ornate, but it truly is the most prolific.

Boasting the largest seating capacity of any (non-racing) venue in North America, there's rarely more people watching a football game anywhere in America on any game day in Ann Arbor. And such has been the case for some time.

Wednesday marks not exactly Michigan Stadium's birthday, but 100 years since it went from conception to commission. And with that benchmark, Michigan has revealed that it plans to spend the year celebrating the iconic stadium throughout the year.
