    Wow. Look at those packed stands in 2000 when UW came out of the tunnel in a huge game vs #4 Miami during the day.

    Former Husky Band icon and current Husky Band Alumni legend here.

    The problem is that you have “gameday advisors,” or whatever the fuck they’re called, telling Cohen this is what people want in the stadium now, specifically anyone under 45. I don’t think the band providing 100% of the music would affect much since UW is not in the Big-10 and still struggles to find a consistent in-stadium atmosphere (fight song after every score). The PAC-12 just doesn’t have iconic bands with the exception of USC and Stanford.

    It is the kickoff time and ticket prices that’s really about it. Band helps, but it’s supplementary.

    Sweet!! We need more superiority guys in various fields.

    Did you play the flute?

    Maple Valley/South South 16-35 demographic is never coming to Husky Stadium.

    They don't identify with anything Washington, neither they nor their family members went to the school, and Seattle won a super bowl recently.

    It's a waste of time trying to market to them.

    The Alumni and educated people living in the area that are transplants or went to a non-rival school will pay for 5-6 tickets plus concession and some merch to take their families to a family-friendly football experience. And that's really who the AD is trying to get anyways. There's a higher ceiling there and it's the image the AD and college wants.

    I will say as someone who frequents the Moda Garden for Blazer games, having an in-stadium pub like they do here with Widmer/10 Barrel would bring in the 25-40 crowd even if they wouldn't care about the game itself.

    I think Mike is trying to say that Mello played the skin flute for the Husky band, with his mouth.

    I hear that you're frustrated with home attendance. Here's an idea for you to try without making wholesale changes until you see that it works (and it will).

    Next season have a "Turn Back the Clock" game at Husky Stadium. Don't have any piped in techno or rap music in the stadium. Let the marching band provide 100% of the music on the day. Don't have flashing lights pulsating throughout the stadium. Have the players wear throwback uniforms. Do little things to generate a college football environment instead of the NFL/WWF type of product you have now. You know exactly what I'm talking about because you experienced it too. Bring the soul back to Husky Stadium.


    You misspelled "lower the fucking ticket prices"
    Christ. You telling me that an area of 4 million people cannot find 72k people willing to shell out $80 to watch a top 10 team?


    This is exactly why the entire west coast sucks ass and will never be like the SEC. They will always get the worst TV deal and times because of this shit. That's fine but don't fucking bitch about 7:30 starts. That's what you get and like Herbie says, you are lucky they acknowledge you at all.
    I don't think you know how Tyee works
    Oh Jesus Fucking Christ. Plus Tyee donation.

    Is it important to you or not? Don't sit there and tell me you spend all this time here and everywhere else UW related but won't spend the cash. That's your prerogative but then STFU when it comes to how the P12 gets treated by the rest of the country.

    They need to find a way to get people to leave their tailgates on time. Seems like low hanging fruit and would be a good place to start. Maybe some fireworks or something.
