University of Michigan/Ohio State Rivalry
The rivalry was born when the Buckeye's met the Wolverines for
the first time on the field in 1897. University of Michigan
won that game 34-0 and dominated the series until 1919. That
year, the Buckeyes defeated the Wolverines 13-3.
The Ohio State/Michigan game is the last game of the football
season; however, it has not always been so. This practice didn't
start until 1935 and--except for one year--that tradition has
not been broken since then. Many times the game has determined
who wins the Big Ten and who will represent the conference in
the Rose Bowl. "Ohio State/Michigan Week" has evolved
beyond the football game to include the annual blood battle,
which benefits the Red Cross, and food collection for food banks.
The Wolverines call Michigan Stadium home
On Oct. 1, 1927, Michigan played Ohio Wesleyan in the inaugural
game at Michigan Stadium. Michigan beat Ohio 33-0. Michigan
Stadium was built on land the University of Michigan had purchased
in 1925. This land had once been home to a barn, a strawberry
patch and an underground spring that had served the University's
water needs for many years. Water in the area created problems
for the construction crew from the get-go. Moist ground around
the site engulfed a crane which, according to legend, remains
buried under the stadium to this day. Because of the high water
table, nearly three-quarters of the stadium had to be constructed
below ground level.
Michigan Stadium opened at the corner of Main Street and Stadium
Boulevard with a capacity of 84,401. In the early days, stadium
seats were made of California Redwood. The University of Michigan
has steadily increased seating capacity over the years, but
construction in 1998 brought capacity to its current level of
107,501 football fans. With each new construction since 1956,
Michigan Stadium's seating capacity total has ended in the number
"1". The extra seat honors Fritz Crisler, Michigan
University's director of athletics in the 1950's. It should
be noted that, while this special seat has been reserved in
his honor, no one today knows the location of that seat at Michigan
Stadium. For more information on University of Michigan football
