To anyone who cares or might need to know.
 
The championship game of the 1984 Great Lakes Invitational between Michigan
Tech and Michigan State at Joe Louis Arena drew 21,576 fans, which is the
true NCAA regular-season record crowd. As a matter of fact, those that were
at the game say there was more like 24,000-25,000 in attendance, however,
they were afraid to announce the true figure because of the fire marshall.
 
I saw in a clipping I received today that the announced crowd of 20,889 for
the Michigan-Notre Dame game at the Palace in late January was an NCAA
regular-seaosn record crowd.
 
That is simply not true.
