Close the stadium.
Abundance. -
I don't think people stay if they were winning. Have you seen the new husky fan?
It is about selfies, showing off a new pair of jeans and a North Face coat. Just watch the T&A screen during the time outs. It is a total joke.
If this team was 10-11 win team the same crew would be dying to get into the zone for a red hook.

They have learned well from the Mariners. No other organization can make a mockery of the sport like the Mariner's gameday experience.jecornel said:I don't think people stay if they were winning. Have you seen the new husky fan?

The number of schools selling beer throughout the stadium has exploded recently its over 30 now including Texas and Maryland.CokeGreaterThanPepsi said:
I agree with you, but very few schools sell beer at games throughout the stadium.CheersWestDawg said:
Then sell beer in the ENTIRE stadium during the fucking game like every other place does.Houhusky said:Just fucking open up the zone for 3 hours before the game and then close it 30 mins before the game starts, money made, problem solved
I wouldn't be surprised if it was a majority within a couple years. -
Everybody says so. And much like most things repeated over and over, it's not true.Nevadaduck said:Correct if I'm wrong, but the public sale of alcohol inside the stadium is a Pac-12 restriction, not a venue rule. No?

I'm old school on this. Close it down while the game is on.greenblood said:I can't blame the fans on this one. It's capitalism at it's finest. When the football program generates a product worth watching live, then fewer people will be at the zone.
Go ahead and get wasted before the game if you want.
Sober up for 3.5 hours while watching the game, then
go get wasted again after. Opening it up post game might
even generate more revenue. The whole administration has
lost the vision of what Husky football should be. By focusing
on all the peripheral entertainment which includes the Zone, they
have lost sight of the fact that a WINNING team will generate more
revenue that all this other shit put together. Win, and everything else follows. -
But notice that at Mariners games that you can still in theory watch the game while sitting in the beer garden ... and you can buy beer at your seat.SteveInShelton said:

It's only the Huskies that actively encourage you to not pay attention to the product ...
Closest thing that I can compare The Zone to is in Dallas there are bars where you can go during Stars/Mavs games that aren't tied into the ability to watch the game. Generally, they are heavily populated during intermissions/halftimes but not at all during those periods. Only if you need to finish a drink or pull a BRB, Blonde moment. -
They'd close it down if people stopped coming. If people want to be there, let them. I think it's a brilliant money grab, because when the game is no longer in doubt, instead of losing money from people leaving, they get to collect it at the zone.whuggy said:

If the school generates a winning team, then the zone will peter out organically. Closing the zone isn't going to generate a winning product, but the reverse is maybe true. -
Face it, The Zone is the house Sark built. So just rename it Sarkville and then the public outrage will lead to its closure. Problem solved.
