    Only going if it's the Rose Bowl, so 99% not going. Ticketmaster is your overlord for tickets, from what I can tell.

    I’m only going to consider going to the Rose or the National Championship game. The Sugar Bowl can fuck off.

    Again, I liked getting the travel package last time I went to Pasadena. Expensive as fuck, but included GOOD tickets, stayed at the team hotel, transport to and from the stadium. Didn’t have to worry about a thing.

    Shit like this is why I can't imagine them shoe horning Washington into the Sugar. Hurts interest in the game.
    I think UW fans will travel as well as anyone for this. I have plenty of friends who haven't been to a home game in years who have already committed to New Orleans if that's where we go. This is special.
    Hardcore fans? Sure. General public, TV ratings, etc.?

    I can't see it doing as well.

    Not saying it's some lock don't twist. Just bringing up some of the things that will be considered.

    Well that's what I'm saying - a lot of casual Dawgs are all in on this. Of course these are anecdotes and a tiny sample size.

    They care more about TV viewers than the fans traveling. They don’t care if the UW contingency has to endure a Planes, Trains and Automobile type journey to get there. They know they’ll get the same numbers either way.
    It will be a sellout regardless. They do actually consider travel and geography though.

    Punishing UW with a cross country trip to play a lower seed at home? Yeah, that's shit, which is why they may do it.

    But seriously, we do have geography/travel and tradition on our? Side.

    TV numbers are probably in the driver seat,Rose UW/#3 seeds possible and a Sugar Michigan/ #4 seeds possible makes the most sense to those eyeballs imo.

    Proof in hand, yadee yada.

    I’ll wait to see what prices look like later. Not worried. Think I bought my Peach Bowl ticket the week of.

    Plane tix to all 3 sites are acquired.
    Might take the family to New Orleans for a couple of days if we’re sent there.

    I only have one game in me right now so I'm going to Houston.

    Fair poont. If it's the Sugar I'll probably go to Houston and try and make work pay for my plane and accommodations.

    Face to face meetings are valuable right?
    I'm not being facetious even when I say invaluable.

    In some cases, like sales and business development, sure.

    I've been "working remotely" with teams since before 2010 all over the world.

    It's not really that valuable to make a bunch of introverts sit in a room together and feel awkward for an hour for a lot of other work.

    Still, I will pitch it to work that it's very valuable!

    Sugar bowl vs TexASS would be a tough pull logistically compared to long horn fans.
