    every organization in sports uses "tickets out" for attendance now because that number is always greater which helps with sponsorships/donors/media and other such benefits. Tickets out = sold, donated, built into corporate partnerships, in any way distributed.

    No one is actually counting true butts in seats as attendance anymore, even though with ticket scanners it's actually much faster and easier than ever before.

    Even if we sold out every game we would only move up three spots. What max capacity now, 72K?

    The stadium was barely a shadow of its former self this year.

    This. I only went to 2 games this year. I just didnt feel the need to be in the stadium. My chair and tv worked just fine for the rest of them.
    Watching at home is cheaper and the beer is colder.

    Yeah but still....


    Colder beer isn't necessarily better. Many beers are best served at room temperature or just above the fridge temp. In fact, many watered down American style beers are only served cold to help mask the less than desirable taste. Simple fact.

    poolboy wanting to lower seating capacity for the renovated Husky Stadium to "make the tickets more desirable by limiting their availability" is doogman.com like math.

    Ahhh good times. Brings me back to the great >70k <70k capacity debate that raged on doogman during stadium construction.

    Can confirm.

    Cask conditioned beers served at room temperature actually increase the flavor profile of some beers.

    In the state of Alabama, they turn out damn near 200,000 per home game, between Auburn and Alabama. Add in those tied to the TV, and it sounds like most of the state shuts down on Saturday during the football season.

    I'm hearing that Alabama doesn't have a real pro team.

    Really? The coaches and players are paid like professionals.

    Should I have put scare quotes around 'real'?
