how big is that crowd for a college football team though! just mental.

 

 

The Swansea v Cardiff University rugby match was played at the Millenium stadium yesterday.

I'll pass on that one thanks. Think this video had been posted before, but it's quite good:

 

 

The crowd size is pretty impressive, but then the yanks have always liked their college football games. Having said that, this is the state university of Wisconsin, which has a similar population to Greater London. It's not exactly Nottingham Trent against Bournemouth Polytech.

This needs the space invaders music in the background!

Unfortunatley we're far to staid and reserved for such an activity - too many people would look down on anyone who would partake as being beneath them

It's a plus and a minus against us Brits depending on how it's implemeted

You have High schools in the US that fill 20000 capacity stadiums. I think only 2 or 3 of the biggest stadiums are used by pro teams, the rest for college football. Michigan Stadium, home to the University of Michigan Wolverines has a record attendance of just over 113,000!

Cool, but you have to wonder about the stresses on the stadium of all those people jumping at the same time

can't find it at the mo but there used to be a video on youtube of a stand moving as the fans jumped up & down. may have been a German team?

It's important to remember there are 25 million people in Texas. It's not like having a load of 100,000 seater stadiums in Staffordshire or something.

 

Still impressive though.

England has a 2008 estimated population of just over 50 million people and yet england only has 5 stadiums with 50,000 capacity or more (Twickenham included)

I said it was impressive.

 

Maybe Texas has a lot fewer stadiums in the 30-50 thousand seater ranges, I've no idea. They certainly seem to like their sports over there.
