But you know what would improve things? An epic win against a top 5 opponent. Us old timers still talk about the 1990 USC game, '92 Rose Bowl and 2000 Miami. Pete needs a game like that. A game that people will still be talking about in 2049. That hasn't come close to happening. But you take someone who is 12-20 years old right now and give them a 2000 Miami experience, and they will become a rabid Dawg for life.

I guess I don't understand the difficulty in people realizing it isn't part of the culture out west
No one out here gives a fuck -
I am 1000% against moving kids back. Our students typically leave after half time or in the third quarter. It would be a horrendous look on TV to have all those empty seats half the game. It worked in the old days because Weller was entertaining enough to keep them engaged for the whole game. Keep them and their empty seats in the end zone.PurpleJ said:Well in defense of the kids, we kind of shuffled them off to the end zone. It’s a far different experience. I think putting them on the 50 would do wonders to make some Dawgs for life. I don’t buy the line from the AD that we can’t afford to do this.

The total gate attendance in 2018 of 114,132 made for a stadium that was 75.4 percent full on average with a six-game capacity of 151,302. That number was up seven percent from the 68.4 in 2017
But True there are some markets that are bringing down the average, UCLA, USC, Stanford

I think it would be wise to reduce the size of the student section either way. First come first serve, as always.whuggy said:

I think that's a good call or use PGOS suggestion to feed the kids if they stay the whole game. Pass out food coupons after the game to all students. I also like the suggestion of reducing prices top 15 rows. I'd start at 50 bucks for 50 yard line, 40 bucks for 40 yard line, etc. all the way down to the 10. No excuse not to show up then. Family of 4 getting in for 40 bucks? Cmon now that's how you build a fan base with young families that eventually become season ticket holders.PurpleJ said:
