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

Pete on the crowd

Made some remarks about how a full stadium really fires up the team. The energy is undeniable and it's just different.

It is way more fun with a packed house. Student section was full as well.

Would be nice to have a consistently full stadium.

This team has has lost 4 games in two years.

Jen C. got some work to do.

    No shit. Wish we could bring the noise for every PAC home game instead of having to rely on the Kewgs to fire the fans up.

    It's hard to get overly excited about yelling your ass off when you know you're going to beat Cal by 30+

    It was noticeably louder than any other game this year. Fans were standing on every defensive down, and even the children around me were swearing like sailors. It was beautiful.

    I was in section 108, entire section stood the whole game. I would say more energy than there was back in the early 90s. But at it's loudest want as loud as back then.

    Great college fans don't have to have SC, last 10 years Stanford or 2 biggest rivals (Zeros and Cougs) come to town to fill the stadium up.

    I get the Montana's, Beavs, Buffs games, but it is 7 (or next year 6) games a year.

    in last 29 games (After ASU loss in 2015) we are 25-4. If you can't pack the place during this run, when will you?

    Jen C would have to be Houdini to fix this.

    Husky football has become a social event to attend like the pen is for Mariners game for 10-15K of people who are going to Husky games.

    12's suck, but you have to give it to fans who show up at Centurylink for Hawks games. They are there to be loud and make a difference.
    Jen gonna partner with starbucks or columbian drug lords.

    2001 - 2013, and especially 2008, did a hell of a lot of damage to the fan base. It's going to take consistently winning at a high level for a few years to turn it around. The SeaHawks went through the same thing when Ken Behring went full retard. A multi-year waiting list to get tickets dried up and TV blackouts ensued. Proper ownership with a clear commitment to winning turned it around. It will take the same clear commitment to winning, and doing so, for the Husky fan base to return to full strength.

    Edit: They're also going to have to schedule much better OOC games and get the damned schedule changed so they're playing at a reasonable time.

    I'm not entirely sold that they will increase season ticket, or ticket sales next season. Home schedule is pretty much shit except Stanford, and they are increasing ticket prices and expanding tyee fees throughout most of the stadium. My guess is a fair amount of season ticket holders aren't willing to pay extra for 9 night games.

    I wouldn’t be shocked as the Hawks’ fortunes start to tumble that a lot of those bandwagon fans start showing up at Husky games (this is assuming we? continue to be competitive). People love winners.
    Bingo

    IF we're materially increasing ticket prices (I haven't looked too hard at it yet) ... it's tied to ensuring that we're keeping the coaching staff in place ... which I don't have a problem with.

    It's either pay more in tickets or donate more ...

    Ticket prices have jack shit to do with coach salaries.

    I'll let @pawz educate you further.

    Jen got some work to do. Raising prices better turn into better recruiting and game day experience.

    Consistent night games certainly don't help.

    A half full student section sucks. But I get it, other shit to do, cold rainy nights with no cover sucks, football is dangerous and all that.

    The zone concept can certainly be revamped into something worth going to. They totally fucked it up this year.

    The idiots that usher you into E-1 is so pathetic that it turns people away from tailgating. It is beyond absurd. Somehow everyone was able to park and organize themselves with a fraction of the staff present in the 90's and the early 2000's.

    Oh well, go dawgs!

    Agreed on some game day stuff but ultimately I just want to see wins. That being said some stuff that kind of bothered me was like top 40 pop music between plays. I didn't really notice until later this season. It seemed too much. Like I enjoy some silence sometimes.

    Why they just don't sell beer stadium wide is still a head scratcher. I mean if I'm willing to pay $5 for a diet coke, imagine what the masses will pay for beer.

    You are seeing the wins.

    Stadium beer would be outstanding.
