I knew it was over when we started having Chevron races on the scoreboard like a fucking Mariners game.MikeDamone said:
It wasn't always that way. In person used to be multiples better than TV. It's devolved into NFL lite. DJ Superslam, t shirt cannon, dumb contests, people buried in their phones, contrived "traditions", etc.BleachedAnusDawg said:Every school is having difficulty selling games out. As @Canadawg rightly points out, tv choice is a huge factor. Very few games are better in-person vs watching at home when you factor in travel time, lousy start times, cost of tickets and concessions for a family, etc. Only the 2016 vs Stanfotd type of games are worth the prices of actually going to the stadium.

A big part of it for me is piping in rap music and de-emphasizing the marching band. In 1981, my dad moved our seats from near the tunnel to the south upper deck at about the 5-yard line. The student section and band were at the 50-yard line across from us. During timeouts, the band would start playing Tequila and the student section would jump up and start going nuts. I loved watching that kind of thing. There was an energy.MikeDamone said:

Yeah, totally agree with that. Husky Stadium is what Seahawks Stadium wishes it was at this point. It became a pro venue after the remodel with the suites, non-stop music blaring, massive video boards everywhere. I don't think the band even plays BDTW after first downs anymore from what I can remember.MikeDamone said:

Multiple times better than your 19-inch family TV with a 480i signal beaming in over the rabbit ears? Nearby fridge chock full o' amazing beer such as Budweiser, Miller, and Coors Lite? Having to slow down on I-5 en route to the stadium a whopping 10 mph for a whole mile due to the unbearable traffic?MikeDamone said:

Live football was amazing when the alternative was pushing a hoop down the street with a stick. -
Which is retarded as fuck because if I have to hear Oregon and SC's shit over and over and over and over at a game they should have to listen to our shit.BleachedAnusDawg said:

Moving the student section was short term revenue gain long term fan engagement loss. Even my shitty Owen season experience was at least memorable and fun being down at the 50 yd line talking shit.DerekJohnson said:

Imagine being a student and having any interest in sitting in an endzone for a game you were already only marginally interested in. Those kids won't be lifelong fans.
Plus all of the god awful things it did to the chants and game energy. The students were a huge part of the energy that kept the game going during breaks. Go Huskies is never getting fixed. -
