What if Michigan Stadium was Bigger? (my concept made in Minecraft)
Hi! I'm the person who made the Michigan Stadium in Minecraft (my brother posted the link before). I made a concept of a larger Michigan Stadium, and made a YouTube video of it. (The photo you see is the thumbnail)
Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ud5X9ZGcaxQ
I think that looks quite awesome. It was Fielding Yost's dream to have a stadium that seated 150,000.
We should do it. It would allow for more social distancing
As long as 1 life can be saved it'd be worth it
I should have put this in the post itself, but I am making it even bigger by adding a second deck (per the ideas of people on r/MichiganWolverines on reddit). Question: Should I eliminate the suites on the east side to make more second deck seating? or keep suites and add second deck to endzones only?
Just want to say that I'm very impressed by the builds you've made, they look amazing! Would it be possible to make a version of the current stadium with upper decks added to the end zones? I've always wanted to see what it would look like, and I feel as though that may be the next step if the school decides to expand the stadium again.
Thanks! Yeah, that's what I am working on next. Adding an upper deck to the end zones. That video will be on my YouTube channel within the next month, I'd guess. :)
Adding the upper decks onto this already expanded version or to the current real life version? Also, I just subscribed so I don't miss it!
Oh, I see what you mean. The already expanded version. I think that makes the most sense because the upper deck would have to be quite far from the field (since its higher up) so that the seats can see the entire field. Thanks for subscribing!
You need to hire Dave Brandon as a consultant to make that decision. What's the ROI on that Dave?
Giant end zone upper deck worked for Penn State
I think an upper deck between the press boxes in the endzones would look best.
Very cool!
If we're going to go big, how about Olympus Mons type scale?
Awesome!
Thanks for putting the work into visualizing this!
GO BLUE!
That is really impressive. I'd hate to be one of the poor bastards sitting in the upper bleachers though. The players would look like ants from way up there. Might as well stay home and watch the broadcast at that point.
yea, its not a great view, specifically because its in the end zones which already don't have great views.
I personally love the nosebleed endzone view. Watched two games from that vantage and feel like I could see things developing more clearly.
The beams the scoreboard is on are reminiscent of the original scoreboard at Michigan Stadium
Looks cool, good work. I don’t play Minecraft so I don’t know how long it would take to make something like this. What’s your estimated time into this project if I may ask?
The original stadium took a little over 100 hours or so over a year. The additions took a few more hours, maybe 8-9
My only question is: who is wondering if we lose the “consecutive 100k+” attendance record over COVID? I mean, the numbers are kind of made up but it IS a record UM holds...
The University will play all games at another stadium /s
It will be in the books with an asterisk stating the streak was broken because of a virus pandemic. Though, Jim needs to stop OSU from opening a can of whoop ass on us and finally beat them to keep our streak alive after this season. I think in Hoke's last season there were 3 games where I think there was less than 100,000.
Can you make it so that the seats are 6 feet apart
My inner UM architecture school grad wants to know if you have a site plan showing your proposed additions to scale.
Amazing work. Really impressive.
From a pragmatic angle, I’d build more vertically to keep the sound in. It would be difficult to implement now without redoing the whole infrastructure but I could see vertical projections added in the gaps between the press boxes around the top ring.
As it is now, the conical layout acts like a speaker acoustically and sends the sound out instead of trapping it where it can help our team.
