Question for the locals

The stadium was about 75-81% full at its peak. That's between mid 2nd quarter when people make it to their seats from tailgating and getting snacks then through them taking selfies for an hour and then heading back out to the tailgate and snacks.whlinder said:I assume Hamilton’s run is over in the Seattle area since the stadium appeared pretty full

For what it's worth LSU had plenty of empty seats
Even in the SEC you have to win
Except Auburn which was full to watch them get blown out -
-
That’s when thousands were still outside of the stadium because of the shit job Jen Cohen and company did with stadium staffing. They only had two bag checkers and two ticket scanners (plus two others scratching their asses doing nothing) for the entire SE Gate. Other gates were a shit show too.MikeDamone said:whlinder said:I assume Hamilton’s run is over in the Seattle area since the stadium appeared pretty full

If Fat Leppard wants to be cheap, then please lower ticket prices.
Also, if there is a security incident due to shit bag check staffing, it is 100% on her. It was bad and she has to know it was bad. -
Ummm no. I had zero wait getting in and was in my seat 15 minutes before kickoff. That’s including getting a couple of beers. These are people who tailgate until 1 minute after kickoff and then wander in. They aren’t people who wanted to get to their seat and planned accordingly.Purple_Pills said:

Not saying the entry process doesn’t need to be improved. In fact, for PSU someone was trying to scan their tickers and I walked around them into the stadium without scanning or question. I could have done the same yesterday. The person standing there is trying to help the person scan and not watching the perimeter.
The seats in front of me yesterday had 4 or 5 different groups rotate in throughout the game. They were empty until Q2. Then the owners of the seats showed up. Selfies happened, some beers, phone fuckary, some chit chat with the lady next to me.. they left at half time to “go to their boat”. Then random people showed up and left the rest of the game. Tons of empty seats around me the entire game. -
And that’s was definitely at peak attendance. That must be 2nd quarter.whatshouldicareabout said: -
I write letters. Do I send them too? Sometimes.
Dear Director Cohen;
Stadium staffing was a complete joke. There is not adequate staff, infrastructure, or planning when it comes to the stadium entrances. There is insufficient staff handling both security and scanning tickets. Double the number of the people and it would be better, but still a mess.
Here is an easy solution. Instead of having Chick-fil-A provide fans with free sandwiches, have Chick-fil-A handle the entrance queues, security, and ticket scanning.

Student section was a little thin as school hasn’t started yet

No way would I want people who hate the gays and want them dead anywhere near the stadium!Purple_Pills said:I write letters. Do I send them too? Sometimes.

118-120 standing decibel on the average offensive play according to my nerd friend's apple watch. Which is insanely loud.MikeDamone said:

At it's peak it was very well filled out. From the south side I saw gaps up high in the upper deck and at top of the student section. It was LOUD though. Best environment I've been at since 2000 Miami though I missed a lot of games 2007-19.
It's unfortunate Michigan State kept getting those fourth down conversions and TDs because it was going to explode and the game was going to truly jailbreak. -
My wife passed away last year. Thanks for the mention. When she was here that was unlikely. She was never into cucks, like youbackthepack said:

I was there and from my perspective it was 85-95% full.
And it was definitely loud, but could be louder. Husky stadium still has enough juice to make a difference in the game and did.
75% is a lie, we get it's not 1991, but that atmosphere wasn't embarrassing and it's going to get better if the team continues to improve and win games. -
You could see what a clusterfuck 520 was well into the 1st quarter and that definitely contributed to a lousy crowd at kickoff. The people who made it did their jobs though making it tough on MSU. By the 2nd q things had cleared up and this is what peak attendance probably looked like:
-
We are now getting to Hamilton level shit. People know when the game starts. The have technology at their fingertips to navigate and plan for traffic. The game is a minute 30 in. Traffic is no excuse.wobidbus said:You could see what a clusterfuck 520 was well into the 1st quarter and that definitely contributed to a lousy crowd at kickoff.

The pattern is the same for every game. Late arriving crowd, peak mid 2nd quarter, an hour of peak crowd (with selfies and phone malarkey ) then dwindles after halftime. 520 had zero to do with that scenario playing out yesterday. I don't think I've seen a close to packed house at kick off for 30 years or more -
75-80% is very accurate at its peak. Zoom in on any crowd shot throughout the game and tell us otherwise.Doogles said:I was there and from my perspective it was 85-95% full.

You're claiming 52-56k at its peak and that's simply not true.MikeDamone said:

Eh. Saying there is a reason something happened isn't necessarily an excuse. My post wasn't about how having 75% capacity for 1.5 quarters of a prime time game isn't a complete embarrassment to anyone who loves Husky football (it is), I was just responding to the original queery.MikeDamone said:

If you can't see 13,000 empty seats around the stadium I can't help you. 3,000+ in the west end zone alone. Another 3k on the upper deck ends.Doogles said:

That only 7,000 more throughout the stadium. Likely many more than that -

I’m not sure why you are obsessed with Canadian football, and the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in particular, but I can guarantee you Seattle traffic is tons worse than Hamilton, Ont., despite Canada’s shit highways and it being in the middle of Toronto-Niagara Falls metroplex.MikeDamone said:

I think Mike is a little sensitive about attendance.
Here is N Sioux City, South Dakota there was 2 of us watching the game and we have room for 6 - so 1/3 full -
You all went to the trump school of attendance estimating
