Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

520 traffic?

Bros can no longer get into UW? Hamilton in town? Ticket takers too slow? Too much wildfire smoke?

    Depending on walk up traffic to purchase unused tickets because of an inability to make advance plans is a program killer.

    Season. Ticket sales go through the floor when people can’t make plans in advance, and when a higher percentage of games are later in the day making travel logistics more difficult.

    The new reality is that the first step is to turn long time in person fans into TV fans, the next step is to turn TV fans into occasional watcher fans, the final frontier is to turn occasional watcher fans into people that just don’t identify with your team anymore.

    Right. No other teams face that insurmountable obstacle

    Jen Cohen and Matt Calkins thought beating Oregon was a program-altering win. As huge as it was, there is no magical elixir for UW's damaged culture

    It can be abundance. Not a community driven event like in Eugene/SLC (tbf they've had success for years now), shitty Seattle "fuck you for trying to have fun here go suffer with the transplants", and UW is playing a glorified FCS team in the freezing ass cold in November.

    Oregon State game was more unacceptable than this scrimmage. You're a fag if you can't just not work Fridays.

    Dick Fain from KJR posted a pic with caption not bad of a turnout by Husky Nation in Q2 prob peak attendance.

    Celebrating 25,000 empty seats for 8-2 fun to watch team that just beat Oregon when you offered season ticket holders up to 4 free tickets, after you've offered them starting at $15.00 the whole week speaks for itself.

    Actually, with the exception of Oregon, on the west coast that is what is happening, so yah, its not isolated to UW

    SC and UCLA had a good crowd, even with the padding covering up 40k seats, Cal/Stanford was surprisingly full considering how shitty each team was, Ute/UO game was packed and we* looked to be 45-50k ish. There have been some good games recently in the p12, the way things are trending I hate to see the exodus to the B10, because it seems as if free agency is starting to even things out

    Texans don't like rain and cold




    Our? problem probably has a lot of factors, but like I said, it's not isolated


    Oust jenny and do an Elong purge of all the woke warriors in the marketing department might be a good start. Get rid of all the gay shit and try to lure some of the white trash 12s with $60,000 trucks with blue and green vomited all over them back. We mock them, but they make noise more than nerds buried in their phones.

    I love to give my SEC family shit about Jimbo Fisher and Texas A&M. They brag about SEC money and enthusiasm. I just say Jimbo.

    Christ. Do we expect to be big time or not? Doogs excuses never cease to amaze me.

    Don James teams never had to compete with a ranked Hamilton.

    For Damoan to call anyone turbo is like Spud Webb telling Manute Bol how to be tall.

    Point is that if UW had a 55k stadium it would be rocking even against Colorado

    good to see you emerge from your shell though.

    I was right, rather easily.

    Do you guys get 55-60 every week? Genuine question.

    It's pretty unusual for it to dip below 55k I'd say.

    A big problem is a late arriving crowd. Damone always posts pictures at the beginning of the 1st quarter and it looks like ass, but it does fill in a bit.

    Noticed the same thing at Kraken game. IDK why people spend a bunch of money on tickets and not show up on time.

    Differentiate the experience from seahawks games, promote tailgating even harder and don't make it feel corporatized in the stadium + win= profit. The Seahawks do a great job of creating a non-corporatized feel to their gameday environment, it's an SEC SEC SEC experience once you get inside stadium.

    No. Only the MSU game sniffed 60k

    That’s my point. Why do other places have full stands at kickoff? Must not have any broadway shows in Eugene.

    I had an eight gayme pack to the Sonics like 20 years ago. They sucked and traded Payton that year. Every game, this attractive blonde and her boyfriend would show up late, usually late first or early second quarter, and sit either next to me or close. She had a pretty limited basketball knowledge. There's probably some of that, and a lot of corporate tickets given to transplants or non or casual fans. "Oh, it's 40 degrees, I don't want to go to a football game."

    Teams need to win I think. Its not an issue at Hawks games

    That's a fair point. People would rather ass grab in the Zone than be in their seat 10-15 before kickoff.

    Was really noticeable in the MSU game because their fans knew to be in their seat on time.
