Cold War (ice hockey)

The Cold War was a college ice hockey game played between
Cold War
U.S. college rivals Michigan State University and the University of
Michigan on Saturday, October 6, 2001. It set a then-world record
for the largest crowd at an ice hockey game with 74,544.[1]

Longtime rivals with the University of Michigan in hockey (and

other sports), MSU decided not to play this contest at East
Lansing's Munn Ice Arena, but instead set up an ice rink in the
middle of the much larger Spartan Stadium, which they filled to
103.4% of capacity. This meant that 74,544[2] packed the Big Ten
football stadium (the home of the MSU football team) to watch the
MSU Spartans and the U-M Wolverines skate to a 3-3 tie.[3][4] 1 2 3 Total
Two 300-piece marching bands were present on field and the game Michigan 1 1 1 3
was internationally televised. Country artist Shannon Brown sang Michigan State 1 0 2 3
during the second intermission.

Record surpassed
The opening game of the 2010 IIHF World Championship took place on May 7 at the retractable-roof Veltins-Arena, normally
used by the soccer club Schalke 04. On this occasion, the stadium's configuration allowed for a capacity of 75,976, which would
ultimately be exceeded by almost 2,000, breaking the all-time attendance record.

On December 11, 2010, the two teams involved in the Cold War met again, this time with Michigan hosting the game at its
football venue, Michigan Stadium. UM billed the game as "The Big Chill at the Big House Presented by Arby's".[5] When UM
halted ticket sales to the general public on May 6, 2010, over 100,000 tickets had been sold.[6] As of the 2010 football season,
Michigan Stadium had an official capacity of 109,901. The game ended with a 5-0 victory for the University of Michigan. The
record was officially set at 104,173 people.

Television
The game was broadcast by FSN Detroit, which made it available nationally. The announcers were Matt Shepard, Billy Jaffe and
Shireen Saski. John Keating hosted a pregame show.
