You obviously aren't well informed. Even Larry Scott knows that the only number that matters is tickets sold. Attendance is for pussies.whatshouldicareabout said:If you zoom in, you'll see this was taken with 5:27 before kickoff.

We were specifically told that viewership is up 36% on Late Night games.
So GFY -
The game will be in Vegas when they stadium opens and the game will be more full. The PAC won't travel like SEC does, ever. But Vegas will be better location and warmer.
Also would like to see a pic in the second quarter, not before the game. -
This taken at kickoff
25k fans in the stadium tops. The Sounders would be questioning their business model if that was their crowd. -
What's wrong with playing at the home stadium of the #1 seed team? Or alternate... Even numbered years, the game is played at the home field of the north champ. Odd numbered years, the home field of the south champ.
-
so many better options. It will probably be in Vegas though. That is a small step up
-
Huskies are 2-0 in championship games in that stadium.
I hope it stays there forever -
It's not a where problem. All the other conferences fill their neutral site championship games. Pac 12 fans simply care less than everywhere else in the country. That aint gonna change. We are the pussified West.
-
I read an article a week or so ago that said the game will be in Santa Clara in 2019 and the conference has a opt out option for 2020. I hope they opt out and go with the best record in conference.

Yeah but..,whuggy said:It's not a where problem. All the other conferences fill their neutral site championship games. Pac 12 fans simply care less than everywhere else in the country. That aint gonna change. We are the pussified West.
The SEC and ACC are relatively driveable from most of the schools. Same with Big10.
The PAC is spread out all over and anybody coming from the north or Utah or Colorado has potentially risky driving conditions.
Plus Friday night is FS. -
Vegas baby, our only hope

The fuck it isn't. Chicago to Indianapolis is 3 hours. From Madison is 4.5. From Ann Arbor is a little over 4. From Columbus, about 2.5 hours.whuggy said:It's not a where problem.

That's just the Big 10. You can drive from Norman to Arlington in about 3.5 hours. Better yet, Norman to Indianapolis takes 90 minutes less than driving from Seattle to Santa Clara. -
Play it in the Tacoma Dome. It's an epicenter of culture. People will flock!

The hell it ain’t! Hookers and blow at the CCG on the Google Campus, or fucking Vegas?”whuggy said:It's not a where problem
Child please -

Sorry picked the wrong photo. This was 2 min before kickoff. -
I don't think that was before kickoff... I'm pretty sure I remember browning having to throw the ball away on that play.Edwin_Bambino said:

Vegas is an easy drive from LA and has lots of rooms
If you get highly ranked USC and UW playing for a CFP berth you could probably fill Santa Clara and sure could Las Vegas or Inglewood
Texas and OU will sell out if they are both Owen 12
But the West is the wide open spaces. Dallas is an easy shot from Oklahoma and it is in Texas as noted elsewhere
-
Yes, which is why we need to take a different approach, such as outlined in my previous post.whuggy said:It's not a where problem.

If we play it at the home team we're the MAC the league that can't fill a neutral site stadium like the other leagues
-
Sadly, that's us.RaceBannon said:If we play it at the home team we're the MAC the league that can't fill a neutral site stadium like the other leagues
I think just having it on Saturday would go a long way here. -
That's your pride talking. We already look like the equivalent of the MAC. Do you prefer a sold out and raucous Husky Stadium hosting the championship, or a half empty cavernous stadium in Santa Clara?RaceBannon said:If we play it at the home team we're the MAC the league that can't fill a neutral site stadium like the other leagues
-
Perhaps having more than 2 bars within a $30 cab ride from the stadium at a neutral field would make sense. Preferably ones that open before 2 pm for a 5pm rush hour kickoff. Fuck you.

Early Friday was dumb af. Already hard to get to and made it that much harder. I had enough trouble getting home from work in time for kickoff let alone if I had traveled to the game.
