Is Uconn still planning to add extra seating for the game? Haven't heard anything about it the last few months.

A little more info about the extra seating and michigan demand:
Michigan’s allotted 5,000 seats for this game does not nearly meet the expected ticket demand of Wolverine fans. With UConn located in one of the most populated areas of the United States, Michigan alumni are plentiful. For instance, the University of Michigan Alumni Club of New York, based in New York City, has over 13,000 members. Additionally, there are at least eight UM alumni clubs within a three-hour drive of UConn’s Rentaschler Field. UM Alumni Club members typically have the opportunity to purchase tickets for most home and away Michigan football games. However, it is the norm for these benefits to exclude rivalry games with Notre Dame and Ohio State as well as other games with traditional high-ticket demand.
As an example of the excitement and limited supply of tickets in the marketplace, the UConn game has also been added to the excluded list of games available directly to UM alumni club members. Look for UM fans throughout the region to either increase their UM athletic club donations and/or purchase UConn season football tickets in an effort to see their beloved Wolverines live and in person.

This game is big for UConn, and not just for the win-loss...

The way I see it, everything stated in this article is precisely why the B1G should invite UConn.
How about winning AND kicking the DJ out?

If there's a game that wont be overlooked all year it's the Maryland game. There's still plenty of kids who were recruited by Edsall on this team.

Agreed. I'm just as fired up for "welcoming" Edsell-out back to the Rent as I am for the Michigan game.
A game that will be overlooked by everybody, including 10,000 empty seats: Towson.

This trend of opening on weeknights against lesser opponents is puzzling. Hofstra back in 08, a few road games, Fordham was originally supposed to be a Thursday but was pushed back, umASS last year and Towson this year.
Towson is FCS but not really a joke though.
I think BYU is the opener next year not sure if it's a Thursday but regardless it stops there!
