Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Whenever I see videos of other team's stadiums and fans

Disagree about the stadium capacity, due to design. For one, the design amplifies noise. And secondly still looks fine on TV as the most empty sections (other than student section, another discussion altogether) is out of general camera view.YellowSnow said:We’d need to go back to 58,000 seats, have the Hawks leave, and be in the running for the CFP.
The stadium is far down, if not at bottom of the list of issues with Husky Football. -

The academis prowess part has little to do with it IMO. Kids at high level schools go to games and lose their shit everywhere. Michigan and Wisky have no problem filling their stadiums, with the former being a clearly harder admit than UW, and Wisky is probably at or above the same level for admissions and is usually ranked higher. Texas is another that comes to mind. Florida now outranks UW and is also harder to get into. Look at Yella's US News list. Georgia is very solid public and is not a walk-in admit either and they lose their shit at games. SC is significantly harder to get into and outranks UW now and they don't seem to be any different from a football support standpoint. And ND games are always full and that fan base is crazy.RoadDawg55 said:
That and UW being so hard to get into nowadays. The instate bro types can’t get in. The sons of those loggers aren’t getting in. there are an outlier or two, but academis and big time football don’t seem to go together.UW_Doog_Bot said:

Not slamming the ducks. They have their gay thing. Point is we have nothing. Gay or otherwise. What we have is people driving boats and fancy coffee culture not showing up until late in the 1st quarter and a 61% empty stadium at kick off.Canadawg said:You don't need to be a musical connoisseur like @YellowSnow to get the crowd having fun and engaged with the culture. I'm sure the AD can find some fun local music to play that gets the crowd into it. I don't really get slamming the Ducks doing it because people are constantly complaining that husky stadium doesn't have that engagement
Without getting too tuggy the days of the TUFF logging camp are long gone, even the grunge days are way past. Seattle is now a couple of shallow stereotypes about throwing fish and coffee shops populated by a lot of transplants. Reminds me kind of San Diego in its lack of authentic character bc of the influx of out of towners.
A shitty AD, a large stretch of shitty football, late kick offs, etc. It has all contributed.
I generally think the academis prowess argument, insofar as it really having a negative effect on how football is supported, is more a thing at universities whose entire identity and culture is based on academis prowess AND that hackneyed fake "we don't care about sports" is internalized. Cal is the prime example. Vanderbilt ... maybe Northwestern. Fuck even Duke and Stanford care about sports.
And, of course, everybody's football players are equally dumb, so we're all TBS the same human beings.
I think it's a Seattle problem. Tech guys other than @haie generally prefer scarves and screaming "Goooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!" because it goes with listening to Cold Play and being progressive.
The TUFF south central guys are the new TUFF loggers.
Was on a jobsite this week with a bunch of TUFF pipeliners talking SC ball. I'm the only one who has stepped foot on the academis campus.

The stadium is far down, if not at bottom of the list of issues with Husky Football.
At some point -- probably when the new stadium opened or close to it -- UW's braintrust (I like to call an organization's leadership braintrust. I do that.) thought it needed to replicate the Seahawks experience. Coming off the heels of really shitty football, the thinking was that it was vital to provide canned enthusiasm to engage the crowd. I know the Zone started before that, but it only got worse and pretty soon, the actual game on the field became secondary to all the other shit. Moving the students to the end zone in a money grab was another bad move. It all just piled up to become the fuckall of a gameday experience we have today.
It lost that college feelin', now it's gone ... gone ... gone. Woah. -
UW needed to get down its knees for us, to make us love the Dawgs like we used to do.TheHB said:
