    The stadium was not full yesterday. Lots of empty patches and sections.

    Student section was mostly full and surprisingly stayed for the whole game. Shout-out. They waited for 50 t-shirts....way to go UW. 50 shirts.

    But Jen Cohen is the greatest AD ever because she handed out t-shirts yesterday.

    Student section was the best I've ever seen. Probably 4-5000 empty seats elsewhere.

    UW fans are pretty gay nowadays, but the stadium looked great on TV, we had big time athletes doing stud-like things, so I'm good.

    I see it as part of a general upswing. Oregon will be the ultimate test.

    Couldn't disagree more. People show up for Oregon, SC, Cougs. The test is if you get people in for the crap games like Eastern and Hawaii. When Husky fans start turning out for those then you know we're a serious fan base. Until then we suck.

    I’d guess that’s a turnstile number (66,975), and that (virtually) all tickets were sold.

    Was it even 50? I'm a student and we all got excited for the Adidas giveaway. I saw about 5-10 plastic bags just getting tossed like 5 rows up and no one close to me got anything.

    Worst giveaway of a game I've been at, by far.
    When the announced it I told the guy next to me they need to get 1000 coupons for Dicks and 1000 Slices of Pizza Hut. Students want food.
    That is a fucking superb suggestion that should go directly to Jen's office. YVBE

    They were all sold. And my source for tickets told me there was a long waiting list. Now that is for good seats. I don't know about nosebleeds and bleachers.

    It's a trend. Stop charging people an arm and a leg, plus some donation for a couple of seats. Stop with the hip hop bullshit and neon ads. Let students come in wasted and sit between the 30s again. Students are nerds now. In my day, there were fewer foreign kids and poindexters. They knew how to party a little.
