I am not an insider but when it was mentioned about filling in the seats, I was to understand the seats will fill in between the scoreboards and the additions. This should increase seating in the range of 11,000 to 12,000 seats on each end. The 11k to 12k figure was specifically mentioned by Dave Brandon from what I heard.
In short when the ends are filled in the Big House may reach about 138,000 to 140,000 seats. All in all, the stadium expansion war will cease because we will be so much larger than any other facility, enough is enough.
Now if the scoreboards were to be moved back then the end zones when filled in would easily seat closer to 150,000 to 160,000 seats. But that would be unrealistic and not be feasible in my opinion. Once the Big House seats 135,000 or so the sound on the field will have to be unbearable for our opponents. WOW.

OK........lotta seats........back to Michigan vs Bama...............Denard is 6"0".........that is short for D1 standards........your own fans say he is not a passer............he is a scrambler..........so is it down to bama stopping scrambles?........Bama's OL is big and experienced and going against your DL with little experience..........our RBs are good.........WR some experience and young but fast and some tall.......I see Denard trying to run and having to pass........question will Bama make interceptions or Denard complete passes?...Bama can/will be able to run against you and the OL can/will provide pass protection for our QB.........................................Bama 37 Michigan 13

I respect BAMA and have many BAMA fans. But some of you are so delusional I wonder! SHEESH!

Just a question, How come when mentioning your teams inexperience it doesn't seem that big a deal, but when mentioning the same about our team on the D-Line it's the end all be all?

Alabama receivers - inexperienced, but fast and somewhat tall

Michigan D-line - inexperienced/ I will add the but you left out for us (three 300lbs plus in the two deep, Black, Roh, will be third year participants, and Jake Ryan is a second year starter)

37-13 please!

Michigan would have to have dropped off bad on the D side to let Bama Score that much.. Is it possible? Maybe .. As well that it is possible Bama loses this game.

All things are possible but I do not believe that Michigan will lose by 24 points , I am thinking more like 10-14 hopefully less. But im looking for an upset. Michigan 21 Bama 17

umm yea all you gota be is fast to play any position in the sec

wow what side are you on? I was just messin with the ATL guy, he wants to talk mad crap so ima fling it back at him, guess if you wana jump on his side thats cool, call whatever you want for bama but i'm not gona jump on their trolls side, i'd much rather troll myself n give them some $hit

Next year three of Bama's starting OL are predicted to go in the NFL draft's first round. The LT is a former 5* and he will probably be a first rounder year after next. They average 318+ lbs, won last year's NC and are ready to go. Of our starting four RB's three have 4.4 40 speed the fourth is a 252 lb bruiser who runs a 4.8. WR group have several with 4.4 speed, couple of 6'4" guys in the group and several played in last year's NCG. The QB is 6'4" and won a NCG last year. That is why I predict...................................... ..Bama 37 Michigan13.

Bama plays a 3-4 D....Our NT is 318 and the two ends are 305. The NT started last year and the two ends played in most games. The four LBs average about 242 lbs and all saw a good bit of playing time last year. The DBs/Ss had the least starting time last year. Bama's weakest unit by far is our kicking game. Terrible, everyone in the country who has seen them on TV knows it. We did get what was considered by most evaluators the best kicker in the country last year and he will get a chance to kick off for us this fall. This could improve our kicking game. Saban has had the numbet one recruiting class three out of the last four years so we have depth at just about every position,

Michigan 72
Bama 2
This one will be a classic defensive game. The Wolverine defense, as expected, dominated with 7 defensive touchdowns. Highlighted by a 43 yard pick 6 by backup DT Ondre Pipkins. Not to be shutout, Denard Robinson, who struggled on offense, ran an 80 yard fumble recovery to the house after a bone-jarring hit from undersized Corner, Terry Richardson.

funny thing is michigans LT is gonna be a first rounder this year and hes a junior. no need to wait till he's a senior to be a first rounder like bamas LT. all this speed and size means nothing if you cant play. tell me they have skills and put up big numbers. don't tell me their size and speed, that doesn't tell me anything on how good bamas players are.

Ya the guy who was injured and is still unproven. Throw some more 5*'s at us and see how much Mattison cares. Measurables mean nothing in this game unless you know how to use them. I'm not saying Kouandjio is not going to be great, cause he prolly is. But is he great right now? NO! Here is how the game is going to work out. Since Bama does not have a lot of experience coming back with WR's...we're going to make the QB beat us. Eddie Lacey will prolly end up around 80 yds rushing b/c we'll stack the box. Doesn't matter how big your OL is when we bring more than you can block...so you will have opportunities for big plays down field. The biggest advantage we have over Bama is Denard Robinson running the football. You can't practice against it, plus it will be the first game and newbies for Bama will have jitters. One missed tackle and he's gone. Both teams will have distinct advantages over the other. My prediction: Michigan 24 Bama 20
