Just read about it....Michigan Stadium...also called the Big House (and rightly so) is the largest American Football stadium in the world. Well OK, American football is not played outside the US, but note this...it is also the 5th largest sports arena in the world. Bigger even than the Nou Camp of Barcelona FC. Now that's something. I can personally tell you that as being one of the 111,000 people to fill this stadium last year. That's an amazing statistic.
Playing with numbers...here's one more. Apparently, Formula 1 does not have a driver with the number 13. Jarno Trulli is number 12 and then David Coulthard is number 14. No number 13. Now that's superstitious....or is it? Well, it so happens that 13 has been used only twice since 1974 when it was apparently decided it was never supposed to be used. I haven't a clue why this is so, but I am going to find out.
Speaking of F1, I read somewhere that Toyota has spent the most in development in the pre-season and their team is not performing so well there. More than Ferrari who lie second and even more than McLaren who sit comfortably at the top of the Constructors' Championship, not to mention, McLaren's 2 drivers 1st and 2nd in the Driver's Championship. Spyker incidentally spent the least.. a meager $50m...I know that's a large number, but when you consider Toyota spent $400m+.
