How Chefs Feed 100,000 Michigan Fans At America's Biggest Football Stadium | Big Business

The University of Michigan's Big House is the biggest football stadium in the United States. In secret kitchens, 35 chefs make food for over 100,000 fans. But in a stadium over a century old, moving the food is a logistical nightmare. There's only one tunnel and one service elevator to cart all the food along. We caught up with chefs 24 hours before kickoff to see how they cook for football's biggest crowd.

    Unfortunately the reason companies prefer to throw their food away is that if they give it away and someone gets sick, they can probably sue the company. They don’t wanna suffer the risk :/ Such a shame when good food goes to waste rather than to those who’ll go hungry

    A bit of misinformation in the comments. Food is not donated, not because of liability, but because of cost or perishability. Someone has to pay to collect in an edible way, transport in a food safe manner from a mass event, potentially store and then distribute, and after all that cost, you only get what is offered, ie can a homeless mother use a day old bucket of mega spicy hot wings. The tax write off is minimal; the goods were pre-tax anyhow. Again the limit is on distribution. It's not really a factor. While there is donation, there is no implication that a lot is donated. Again, it's mostly pick through or unsafe. They are donating perishable unused pre-prepared mass goods when there are folks to take them; they are not scraping plates for food. In other woods, if any boxed tomatoes remain in the galley, they are free for the taking.

    There are different clients within the 100,000. Chef is right in monitoring the food waste, especially in the suits where people paid a lot of money but also waste the most food. The typical concourse customers are easier to manage as they can be measure by the volume purchased and less exotic varieties.

    Yeah but you do it more often. I used to work for Feld Consumer Products which I was in a different arena each week for 32 weeks a year for 7-10 shows a week with attendance on most shows between 3,000 to 5,000 a show. All of our stuff from our stands to the merchandise came on trucks. We were a small crew of around 30-50 people depending on the tour type of a new show or one that's been around and we're expecting to bring in all the income cause the ticket income mainly went to arena we were in so it was more affordable to our audience and them to spend their money on our merchandise. We were considered independent contractors so basically it was though we each had our own little business. It was very stressful at times but also satisfying cause of the experience.

Laws and regulations (which to be fair are necessary obviously) make it extremely difficult to even donate untouched food to say a food pantry or homeless shelter. Basically impossible to avoid waste sadly but I will say at least our arena it was lime the #1 issue we tried to address. Huge profit increase if you can avoid throwing away 5k lbs of food every few weeks

    Yup, Michigan Stadium is huge! Before they played there, Michigan played its games at Ferry Field, which had a capacity of 40,000 people. It was Fielding Yost who recognized the need for a larger stadium after original expansions to Ferry Field were too small and persuaded the regents to build a permanent stadium in 1926. They chose to model it after the Yale Bowl, and it had a capacity of 72,000 until Yost urged them to temporarily add 10,000 more bleachers at the top of the stadium for 82,000 seats in 1927 when the stadium opened. In 1930, electronic scoreboards were installed, making Michigan Stadium the first in the United States to use them to keep the official game time! In 1956, the addition of a press box raised the stadium's official capacity to just over 100,000 at 101,001. This began the 01 tradition, as the one extra seat is because the seat was reserved for Fritz Crisler, athletic director at the time. In the summer of 1973, renovation plans called for the removal of many of the rails in the stadium and replacement of the box seats in the first three rows with bleacher seats. This change allowed for six hundred more seats in the stadium, and capacity was now 101,701. In May 1991, two rows were added to the lower seating area of the stadium, raising capacity to 102,501. Currently it's 107,601 In September 2013, the stadium had 115,109 during a game against Notre Dame!

    A just as impressive stadium is the Rungrado 1st of May Stadium in Pyongyang! After the 1988 Summer Olympics had been awarded to Seoul, the DPRK intensified its efforts to present itself in the global stage, and successfully bid to organize the 13th World Festival of Youth and Students in Pyongyang in 1989. The Rungrado 1st of May Stadium was built for this festival. Today the stadium is known for being the venue of the Arirang Mass Games, a mass gymnastics and artistic festival. It is listed in the Guinness World Records as the largest gymnastic display with over 100,000 participants. The stadium's scalloped roof features 16 arches arranged in a ring and resembles a magnolia blossom. When it opened in 1989, it had a capacity of 150,000! But this capacity was reduced to 114,000 in 2014. From 1989 to 2020, it was the world's largest stadium! However, it was beaten in 2020 by India's Narendra Modi Stadium in Gujarat when it was renovated to have a capacity of 132,000.

    The logistics and management level here is impressive. Also, it looks like this company gets a huge margin from sales here. I wonder if the concession of the stadium has been always the same or if has changed. On the other hand, I'm glad that they donate the leftovers of every game, this 500kg of food might feed a ton of people a day. I hope they keep it fresh until it's delivered. Greetings from ARG

    I remember I used to come here with my church and we'd help serve food during the game days. We would be set up in tents inside the fence in front of the big M. It was FAST work, but at the same time it was always nice to be able to enjoy the atmosphere of being there during the slow moments. I had no idea until today though that it was the largest football stadium in the US. I feel a small twinge of pride now knowing I was serving food for so many people.

    It's actually a French invention, it's just a cooking technique where you cut the meat away from the bottom of the bone and roll it to the top before cooking. It's very common to do in restaurants. It makes the bone look clean other than the ball of drumstick meat at the top. It's mostly a presentation thing, it makes plating look nicer.
