PSU stadium capacity will top Michigan's
STATE COLLEGE — Penn State will beat Michigan the next two seasons, at least when it comes to stadium seating capacity.
The Wolverines' Michigan Stadium seats 107,501 people, making it the nation's largest stadium.
"The Big House" holds about 200 more people than Penn State's Beaver Stadium, the runner-up.
But Michigan Stadium will lose some seats as officials improve wheelchair accessibility to settle a lawsuit.
That means seating capacity at Michigan will dip to 106,201 the next two seasons, putting Beaver Stadium on top.
Michigan officials say their stadium could reclaim the distinction in 2010, once a round of upgrades are finished.
