With an attendance of 110,278 at yesterday’s University of Michigan-Notre Dame game, just a relative few got into trouble or needed assistance, said Diane Ward, public information officer for University of Michigan police.

"We ejected more people than we arrested or cited, just because of the numbers of people we were dealing with," she said.

She reported:

Eleven people were arrested - seven for minor in possession, two for disorderly conduct, one on a warrant from another department and one for resisting and obstructing a police officer.

An additional 11 people were cited - eight for alcohol, two for urinating in public and one for illegal ticket sales.

Twenty-nine people were ejected from the stadium - 13 for violating stadium rules, 10 for disorderly conduct and six for alcohol in the stadium.

Emergency medical responders treated 67 people during the day. Eleven of those people were taken to the hospital, but none in serious condition.
