I am almost not kidding, there are two many older fans that are obsessed with beating traffic rather than winning the game. I honestly wanted to yell at them as they filed out of the stadium with over 9 minutes to go. It seems that only the younger people are devoted anymore.
We have the best stadium, and our fans ned to do their part to help us win.
To be fair, the crowd forced two timeouts by Apalachian State that allowed Michigan to win the game (although they did not uphold their end of the bargain), but people were leaving all throughout the 4th.

Is this question legit?
No you should not restrict the sale of Big House tickets to 25 & under! I would wager that at least 75% of 25 & under ticketholders seats were paid for by +25 year olds!!
You know it's true.
The Big House is cute....but it has nothing on Death Valley!
PS- The REAL Death Valley where the REAL Tigers play.
In Baton Rouge, LA
GEAUX TIGERS!!!!!

It looks like Michigan is using every excuse they can. One Michigan is not the best place to watch a game. Just because you are the biggest I can guarantee College Football experts and columnist will not agree with you. I can name several SEC schools alone that have a better atmosphere than the Big House. Have you ever been to a game at LSU, South Carolina, Tennessee, or Florida? USC would be another place that would have to top Michigan....They are not even the number one place to catch a game in the big ten! I believe Wisconsin has been voted in on that one.

Wow, you think you have the best stadium? It might be the biggest, but it's essentially a library compared to stadiums like The Swamp, Neyland Stadium, both Death Valleys, and the Horseshoe. Hell, it's probably the 4th best stadium in the Big Ten, behind the Horseshoe, Camp Randell, and Happy Valley.
Most of those other stadiums also don't require a shoehorn to get into your seat just so they can keep the attendance records.

In response to the actual question without getting into a college football team debate, it would be ridiculous to restrict ticket sales to younger people, with the biggest reason being that older people, especially alumni, that have established careers would be far more likely (willing and able) to donate to the university.

If the Wolverines keep sucking, they won't be able to give tickets away. Oh wait, it's Ann Arbor, where the only other thing to do is beat up pregnant women and take money/drive around in new Cadillacs if you're a U of M hoops player.

It doesn't matter how old you are when the Wolverines played as bad as they did ........ trust me they weren't leaving to beat the traffic they were leaving because they didn't want to watch them get their @$$e$ handed to them.

The question then becomes who will have bigger crowd, the Lions or the Wolverines

So it was the fans' fault that the Wolverines lost to a Division 1-AA team?
