Pandemic puts an end to 45-year streak of 100,000-plus crowds at Michigan Stadium

There won’t be 110,000 fans at Michigan Stadium this fall. There might not be any fans at all. And it’s still possible there won’t be a college football season.

But if there is a season, one thing seems certain: The University of Michigan's historic 45-year record streak of football games with 100,000 or more fans in the stadium will end due to social distancing limitations prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Michigan announced Wednesday there will be no public sale of tickets, but season-ticket holders and students will be eligible to purchase tickets on an individual-game basis, although stadium capacity will be limited.
