    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.

    Love his comments, but home games aren’t the problem.

    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.

    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!
    Those are high school football players gaining volunteering exprience. FS by our department to do that.
    Just give them Starbucks cups full of cash and let the fans park themselves.

    I used to be on the "sell beer in the stadium" bandwagon, but after seeing the NFL trailer trash fans up close and personal at a couple games this season I'm not too bothered by no beer sales.

    Late starts are much more of a deterrent to people showing up than $9 shit beer sales are going to attract people to show up.

    Beer keeps everyone in the stands during and after halftime.

    Agree. But I don't think it makes the difference in selling out the stadium versus having a few thousand empty seats.

    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.
    So that waas you yelling at Leach to take the Tennessee job.

    Yes, the digital banner is obscene. Just the worst. Turn that shit off during game action. It is so bad. Just wait till someone gets a seizure from it and sues their ass.
