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".{{Cite web |url=http://www.thebigchillatthebighouse.com/home.php |title=The Big Chill at the Big House |access-date=2010-04-28 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100427163724/http://www.thebigchillatthebighouse.com/home.php |archive-date=2010-04-27 |url-status=dead }} When UM halted ticket sales to the general public on May 6, 2010, over 100,000 tickets had been sold.{{cite press release |url=http://www.mgoblue.com/sports/m-hockey/spec-rel/050610aac.html |title=Ticket Freeze for The Big Chill at the Big House Presented by Arby's |publisher=University of Michigan Athletic Department |date=May 6, 2010 |access-date=July 25, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100526162157/http://www.mgoblue.com/sports/m-hockey/spec-rel/050610aac.html |archive-date=May 26, 2010 |url-status=dead }} As of the 2010 football season, Michigan Stadium had an official capacity of 109,901.
