The crowd of 113,411 on hand at Michigan Stadium to watch Michigan and Michigan State face off in The Big Chill at the Big House has set a new world record for attendance at a hockey game. It's also the biggest crowd for any NCAA event.

Earlier this year, Germany hosted a game at the world championship in front of 77,803 in Veltins Arena. The upcoming Winter Classic between the Capitals and the Penguins at Heinz Field is expected to draw about 65,000 fans.
