I hear that you're frustrated with home attendance. Here's an idea for you to try without making wholesale changes until you see that it works (and it will).
Next season have a "Turn Back the Clock" game at Husky Stadium. Don't have any piped in techno or rap music in the stadium. Let the marching band provide 100% of the music on the day. Don't have flashing lights pulsating throughout the stadium. Have the players wear throwback uniforms. Do little things to generate a college football environment instead of the NFL/WWF type of product you have now. You know exactly what I'm talking about because you experienced it too. Bring the soul back to Husky Stadium.

I told a higher up in the athletic dept yesterday that the piped in music is terrible and we need to cut the NFL atmosphere BS.

And bring back the shaky camera angle that made you think the stadium was about to collapse

These are all things we gave up to keep pace with college football today.
I hate the banners but they pay the bills. I miss old shaking Husky Stadium but it was a dump. The old uniforms wouldn't sell to recruits today.
You guys sound old poor and white.

I think throwback unis would be cool. Maybe do some cheap hot dogs, too.

Or you can continue to play Abba at halftime except make the quality so bad that you can't even hear the singers

That's exactly the UW mindset. And how's that working out?TommySQC said:These are all things we gave up to keep pace with college football today.

There are other ways to sell advertising without seizure-inducing lights and techno music.

Thought the halftime band show was good last night.
The constant rap music is awful.
They have toned down the flashing lights a bit.
Paying to get into the Zone is a farce. No one goes anymore.
Too many stupid promotional events during timeouts. Be creative or bag them.
They introduced a new fan tradition with Harry Husky last night. I had no idea what was going on. Scrap it.

Husky Legend should happen between the 1st and 2nd quarters.

Disagree the croots wouldn't like traditional uniforms.
Bama has never changed. We don't even do edgy well. The sleeves and alarm clock numbers gotta go.
