Fun in the Big House

No, we haven't been sent to the pokey since we've moved to the Upper Midwest.

I'm referring instead to the Big House aka Michigan Stadium aka the largest stadium in the country. I think that Michigan and UT-Knoxville are in a constant battle as to the largest stadium.

Neyland is, by far, more impressive. The Big House is really a huge bowl...most of it is underground. But it holds 110,000 fans. And when a good portion of those fans are under the age of 20 and screaming in your 3 1/2 year old's ear, you can just imagine what kind of screaming took place next.

This photo was taken at season opener against, you guessed it, Vandy. We look like the United Colors of Benetton football fans. IEM enjoyed a hot dog, and we promptly left after the screaming started and hung out outside. All in all, it was an experience. Maybe for I's first football game we should have considered a high school scrimmage, not a Big 10 season opener. Oh well. Live and learn.
