What is biggest cause of Husky Stadium fan apathy?

After watching part of the ASU game, I would say you have a lot of catching up to do. Modernize your shit already, you look like you're stuck back in the 70's or 80's with the boring uniforms and the dark, depressing field. Then there's that hideous droning siren every time you score. Update that shit and make it edgier. It sounds like a dog howling, I get it, but it needs to be updated.

Stadium ain't the issue. It's the best building on the west coast. It's the culture that's gone to shit.

The real answer is big screen TV's and getting older. Nobody is too crazy about football outside SEC country.

The Big 10 still packs 'em in.

Those that haven't attended in a while should read this. There are so many non football related shit that happens on the field it distracts one from the game. Often its common they are going on a 2 minute diatribe about some donor (TYFY$) who is on the field for the 18th time, while the defense is up against 3rd and 4. Not to mention, television commercials really sack the environment, especially at night. But they could really improve the situation. All that being said, moving the student section was big. As I've mentioned in another thread, throwing a pick on the first play especially didn't help.

We have had 4 exciting home wins in 10 years, and we play boring ass football. Big non-cons can’t come back soon enough.

Too much cash grab sponsor gimmickry and horrible music- e.g., "Purple Rain"

The old Husky Stadium was better, day games and an ordinary band, not constant shit out of the jumbotron and an endless series of advertisements and lights flashing. If the old stadium had no track, that setup would have been ideal.

We also lack any real game day traditions other than the "Go Huskies" chant and whatever the fuck we do before kickoffs. Even some mid tier programs around the country have some pretty cool traditions that started relatively recently - VA Tech's "Enter Sandman", South Carolina's "Sandstorm", Wisconsin's "Jump Around". We don't have anything like that to get the fans hyped up.

Night games past the blue hairs bed times?

A couple of factors: night gaymes and loud blue collars being priced out and replaced by annoying fags (many who are transplants) .

I realize longshoretrannies and some trades make pretty good money there, but don't you need to put down like $1500 just to get tickets now? It's insane.
