Looks like the fans have spoken. Tough to fill 100,000 seats, I guess.

Perfect example of why we don't need stadium expansion. I can understand adding maybe 5K permanent seats if we sustain mid-30K in attendance for a few years. But overall, we are at a GREAT capacity limit today.

Not worth it. You are then stuck with two Cokes.

Not so fast my friend ---

from espn.com -
For a while Monday, Michigan fans received two tickets to Saturday's game against Minnesota simply by purchasing a couple of bottles of Coca-Cola, according to a UM spokesman.

The two tickets, with a total face value of $150, could be obtained by purchasing two Coca-Cola products for $3.

The promotion was immediately pulled Monday night when Michigan officials found out about it. Several individuals had posted about the promotion on Twitter.

A Michigan spokesman told ESPN that Coca-Cola had purchased a block of tickets for Saturday's game against Minnesota with the purpose of using them in a promotion for students.

Michigan had final approval for the promotion, but because of a "miscommunication," Coca-Cola thought it could go ahead with the two-ticket promotion.

However, Michigan said it never gave Coca-Cola approval.

So the offer wasn't the "real thing?"

I believe they said anyone who had gotten the tickets thru the promotion could use them ---
