Re: FCS Warm Up Week
I'm fine with both statements and more so with the, "Who cares what they're doing? Let's take care of our own fucking business because we're just better." I suppose your 1st is more supported by the big fish, small pond theory.

Go ask that question on Twitter. I'm not gonna be a Doog and say it's instant BONEM CITY, but you'll get people on Twitter, and here that will tell you about how things will actually get better.
Also, why does everyone assume he's dying soon? Rich people can live to like 100 now.

Re: Loyal fans priced out of college football
Shifting the student section to the endzone shifted the majority of ticket holders. In the old set up empty seats were down in the first 5 rows and in the horseshoe. Now the empty seats are in the upper decks.

Re: Loyal fans priced out of college football
Those people sound poor. That's mean and this story is the new, sad reality. I was at the Notre Dame game this weekend and I found it odd that ever single student minority group had their own club tent selling BBQ stuff. The Bangladesh Everest climbing club was selling hot chocolate for $7. FMFY I'm not paying that unless it has a shot of Jamisons.

Re: Loyal fans priced out of college football
On the flip side of this, I was delighted to get great seats for $85 ea, direct from UW, for the Oregon game.
"Great seats" to me = south side very bottom of upper section .. it's like a little "mini section" and is nicely protected from south wind and rain (and is covered) and affords a great view with no mandatory standing all game.
Here's a shot from such a seat at the Illinois game.
Our family gave up on Tyee stuff, after doing it since the mid 80's, after realizing how little they value the loyalty. Also, once they re-did the stadium and changed the nature of how the seat reallocations worked, we lost the experience of being around the same folks for decades. It was an aspect of it that was so cool .. seeing the same folks around us every Fall — folks we knew nowhere else but at Husky games.
We were section 26 folks the whole way until the 2013 change. We only moved up/down/left right a few notches here and there in S26 the entire time from the 80's on.
Here's the old seat map if anyone is curious

UW is also the forever Pac-12 champs, beating the Fighting Phil Knights in the 2023 championship game.

Re: Loyal fans priced out of college football
the pricing shit is several folds - the idea of finding how much money we can milk out of every person at all times and getting into the stadium is bound to peak and crumble. Then you have watching on TV and the 12 different ways you can and then now you have to navigate which ones aren't having disputes to block your games etc. Couldn't watch Sunday Night Football last night on Fubo. Then you have hey teams will be forever locked into whatever tier they are season after season based on how much donors overspend. Rad.
