As I watch other games from around the nation…

Evolution of Seattle a huge factor.

Other than the shitty traffic, I disagree. If I-5 traffic was like it was 20 years ago and if we still played most of our games at 12:30 pm, the evolution of Seattle would be a benefit, not hindrance for games at Husky Stadium.

For me I-5 traffic and late kickoff times are my least favorite things on game days these recent years.

all good, but the demographics of Seattle have changed significantly over the past few decades. I'm not saying it's the only factor, but it's for sure a factor.

Even when I was a kid and we were shitty, the stadium was always rocking, no matter the opponent.

One big mistake the school made was giving rich donors the student section seats at midfield. The atmosphere goes to shit when you give old, rich people the most impactful seats. Kids don't want to watch games from behind an end zone. Dumb as shit.

Look what happened to the Seahawks. They became good... old, rich people bought all the good seats as soon they were marked up, atmosphere lost. They're the type of morons that ask you to sit down and be quiet so they can enjoy their wine.

I tend to agree, but most schools don’t have the students on the 50.

1991 UO/UW loudest game I’ve ever attended. Crowd roar when Brunell scored on a short TD run was deafening.

Just wait until upper campus kills off E1 tailgating with their master plan of building an “east campus”.

Seattle is a different town than it was 20+ years ago. It used to be TUFF blue collar liberals who would RIP your face off. They loved the Huskies. These were the fans Cougar fans hated so much because they didn’t attend UW (hi Harv!). Now it’s a city full of tech wealthy progressives, homeless, ANTIFA tards, and generally people who don’t give a fuck about Husky football.

I don't know, UW crushing Stanford at home in 2016 was as loud as I had heard it in years.

With the Seahawks looking at a rebuild, the Huskies have a great chance to be King of Football with a coach who can win.

I included that one Stanford game. One game doesn’t make a program or atmosphere.

Packed stadiums, wild crowds, no COVID bullshit, I’m just reminded how UW has fucked this up and I don’t think it’s ever coming back. That atmosphere hasn’t consistently existed at UW for a couple of decades and it’s at an all time low.

You can’t spell Fucked Up without Jay Inslee.

The upper decks shook.
