Largest Crowd

So I am assuming that NOV 18th will take hold as the largest crowd ever at the Shoe. Previously it was the 105+ thousand at the 02' tOSU sCUM game I think. But with the stadium capacity of 101+thousand, where do the extra 4,000+ come from and how do they get in ?

Judging by the line I am usually in, Gate 26.

Field level passes for alumni and media.

Michigan game attendance is usually higher than any other OSU game attendance due to the addition of 200 police and dogs assigned to harass the UM players and coaches after they step off their bus.

Do dogs count toward the attendance total? What about the squirrels that make their way onto the field? Or pigeons? What about some of those balloons that were very reluctant to fly out of the stadium before the Minnesota game?
