About Michigan Stadium

Nicknamed "the Big House," Michigan Stadium is where the University of Michigan plays American football, in Ann Arbor, Michigan. No stadium in the United States or the Western Hemisphere is larger, and it ranks third among stadiums worldwide. Its official capacity is 107,601, though crowds above 115,000 have filled it. Because most seats sit below ground level, the stadium looks smaller from the outside than it is.

It was built in 1927 for $950,000 with an original capacity of 72,000, and it was fashioned after the Yale Bowl. It was designed with footings that would allow the capacity to grow beyond 100,000, and temporary bleachers at the top raised it to 82,000. The first game there was played on October 1, 1927, when Michigan beat Ohio Wesleyan 33–0, and the stadium was formally dedicated three weeks later against Ohio State.

The stadium also hosts the university's main graduation ceremonies, and at the 1964 commencement held there, President Lyndon B. Johnson laid out his Great Society program. The 2014 NHL Winter Classic drew 105,491 people, the most for any ice hockey game. A 2014 soccer match featuring Real Madrid and Manchester United drew 109,318, the most for any soccer match in the United States.

Fine seating rows and aisles
The bowl is covered in fine radial ridges for aisles and seating rows. Layers of 0.12–0.16 mm keep them readable, and a bigger print size keeps them separate.
One piece with the ground
Michigan Stadium is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.
Pick the detail for your nozzle
In the Buildings settings, set Landmark detail to Print friendly to adapt thin parts and small details to the print scale. Full detail keeps every modeled feature, for larger prints or a finer nozzle.
Colors
Buildings, roads, water and ground arrive as separate filament slots in the 3MF. Michigan Stadium takes the building color.
File format
You get a 3MF for Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer or PrusaSlicer. Any of them can save it as STL if you need one.

Common questions

Is there a Michigan Stadium STL I can download?

Mini Skyline builds the file for you in your browser and exports 3MF, which every major slicer opens. If you need an STL, open the 3MF in your slicer and export it from there.

How big can I print it?

Any print size from 40 mm across. Michigan Stadium grows with the print: about 13 mm tall on the default 160 mm print. For a model larger than your printer bed, Project Mode splits the area into tiles.
