• Real Madrid vs. Manchester United | Sights & Sounds from Michigan Stadium (2014)

    Rooney turns on one in the first half (MVictors photo) Quick hitters: What an awesome event.  For all the beatings #1000SSS has taken lately, hats off to Hunter Lochmann and Dave Brandon for putting this together. Strongly feel we need to keep using this facility for events like this.  Fielding Yost would have loved this. I was naive to think there’d be a big overlap between Michigan football fans and this event.  Wrong, this was a completely different crowd and demographic.  Evidence: The traffic mess..but not because NB Ann Arbor-Saline was closed.  It was because of the noobs.  From the east folks figured the best way to get to the stadium was down M-14 to downtown.  From the south, the masses went to the Washtenaw exit off of 23 – which IIRC is where the signs tell you to go.  Yikes.  Backups started 3-4 hours before the game. The Wave..your old lame friend The Wave was spun up in the first half but..it was actually kind of cool.  No, not because the wave is cool, but because unofficially 99.4% of the crowd participated and screamed like girls.  It felt like 1989. Languages..circling the field I think I heard 7-8 different languages. Newsflash: Ronaldo is indeed one handsome cat.  And it was pretty cool when he stepped down on the field…
