Colorado will receive $1.4 million for Michigan game

The largest stadium in the US (2nd largest in the world) with a capacity of 107,601 will host the Buffs on Sept. 17

The Colorado Buffaloes trip to the Big House comes with a nice incentive.

A guaranteed $1.4 Million dollar payday for CU was part of the agreement with Michigan, when the two schools agreed to be part of each others non-conference future schedules in 2011. The scheduled match up was the last game outside the Pac-12 conference scheduled by former Athletic Director Mike Bohn.

After a 19-year hiatus, the Buffs and Wolverines will meet for the first time since the famous "Miracle at Michigan," that shocked the world when quarterback Kordell Stewart's 64-yard hail mary touchdown pass was tipped by Michigan defenders and landed into the arms of wide receiver Michael Westbrook for a 27-26 win.
