Michigan Tech & Grand Valley to play at Michigan Stadium
ANN ARBOR, Mich.
Michigan Tech will play Grand Valley State at Michigan Stadium next year in hopes of breaking the Division II attendance record.
The current record of 61,143 was set on Sept. 29, 1979, when Shippensburg beat Slippery Rock, 45-14, at Michigan Stadium, which has 100,000-plus seats.
"It'll be an opportunity for football fans to see a game in Michigan's Big House, be part of a historic, record-setting crowd and see a great college game," Michigan Tech coach Bernie Anderson said. "And who knows, the game could be for the conference champion- ship."
The two Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic conference teams will play Nov. 6, during the final weekend of the regular season for Division II teams. Grand Valley State has won the past two Division II titles and has advanced to the championship game three straight seasons.
Michigan coach Lloyd Carr said the stadium's artificial surface makes it possible for more than one team to play there.
"I am happy we're doing it," Carr said Monday. "I think it will be great, particularly, for college football in this state."
Just two college football games not involving the Wolverines have been played at Michi- gan Stadium. The first was a game in 1979 and the other was in 1981, when Wayne State beat Slippery Rock before 36,719 fans.
"While this isn't something that we'll do on a regular basis, we wanted to support both Michigan Tech and Grand Valley State and work with Michigan Tech in making this happen," Michigan athletic director Bill Martin said.
