Bigger crowds than Washington State? Maybe so but sell outs? Not unless the UCLAN is 8-0 when Michigan comes to town. If you look at Maryland they are down from there early B10 days. They averaged over 40,000 in 2015 and now are at 21,000. They had 41,000 for Ohio State. Capacity of their place is over 51000. Same with Rutgers. They got lots of folks early on to see the name programs. Now not so much. Northwestern is reducing capacity from 47000 to 35000. Bottom line is when those games become normal affairs, they cease being such a big deal and draw much smaller crowds. [/QUOTE]
