    Geoff Baker just likes to stir up shit ... that's his job

    Who gives a shit about the secondary market ... the only reason to give a shit about it is if the tickets through the secondary market fall below the primary market of ticket sales through UW ...

    Citing the non-conference schedule ... thank Sark and Woodward for setting that up ... with the deficit that the AD is sitting in right now their ability to buy out some of these games for better opportunities is likely limited.

    For those that think about going single game tickets, it's a short-sighted plan that will ultimately result in worse seats when ticket sales go up (I expect season ticket sales to go up significantly next year).

    Saying that ticket prices went up substantially with the remodel is actually missing the boat ... I think the cheapest I've ever paid for a season ticket is $400 ... at $500 now that can be viewed the same as a donation for the AD. Where the ticket prices went up substantially is in the donation levels required for some of the better seats.

    As is said often around here, win and they will come. People find that the environment on Friday for the Stanford game was fun. That will definitely be populated about for the USC and likely ASU games with Oregon St being a wild card since they suck. But whatever.

    Petersen doesn't bring the sizzle that Sark did. From what I'm hearing

    It's also the new stadium experience sucks, other than the lower bowl is a much better view. Alaska Airlines Huskys, McDonald's signs everywhere, endless crap on the jumbotron that is too fucking intrusive, etc etc. Why pay for advertising? Watch on TV with your mute button ready.

    Yeah, I hate how they've turned it into a pro-stadium. Selling space on your body is not a super respected way to make money but I guess whoring ourselves out is all we've got left.

    Fuck that. I like the new stadium. It's nice not to have to look at old wiring sticking out of the walls and that fucktarded track.

    Now, as far as the secondary ticket market , fuck them too. Free tickets for the last two years is fine with me. I mean Jesus - the game was sold out on Friday night and I got a free ticket to sit in the club section. Fleenor can sit and spin on his club cheeseburger and game ticket that cost him $4000. Free is my kind of price.

    And yes Sven, I still paid too much.
