I for one, would love throwback uniforms. Sounds like it wont happen though, since so many fans bitched about the all purple uniforms (which I thought were cool) that Coach Pete is now scared to try anything different.

A South Sound hick sat next to me at the game. Menthol cigarettes in the flannel front shirt pocket and everything. Dude had no clue about the Dawgs and only wanted to talk Hawks.haie said: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 completely agree that it would go a long ways to let lifelong fans do what the fuck they want in their tailgating spot without getting hassled.Dennis_DeYoung said:Everyone here arguing that it can't be fixed is a fucking retarded idiot and should light themselves on fire.
Yeah, it's so hard to get people to watch great football. Our AD's marketing department doesn't understand marketing, branding or gameday experiences. You think it's so fucking amazing in SEC country against a BYU level opponent? Guess what? It's not.
You guys are seriously fucking stupid. The #1 hallmark of stupidity is 'it is the way it is and I can't imagine it any other way, so i'm just going to repeat reasons that I think it is the way it is without having any knowledge or proof'.
Fuck off with that shit. If they did this right we would have a 10 year waiting list for tickets.
You guys are fucking defeatist morons. Half the fucking people here don't go to the games.
I'm sorry everyone here is fucking stupid, but it doesn't mean you can't fix Husky football you fucking clowns.
And cementing their seat locations for annual loyalty.
Another aspect is that there isn't a good in-stadium pub. Something large and classy with 50 local Seattle/WA brews on tap would go a long ways.
Making the zone decent again would go a long ways. -

Hawks are a dumpster fire... and it gets worse every week. Eventually south sound hawks fans will consider jumping ship. Just a matter of time.Dennis_DeYoung said:

You misspelled "lower the fucking ticket prices"DerekJohnson said: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.
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.

Fuck all the gimmicky contests. The kids don’t give a shit. They LEAVE! Dump the piped in music too. Back in the day we had Rock and Roll. Real Rock and Roll. I didn’t want to hear at the game then. Don’t want to hear it now.
Expand the north side seating down five more rows. Put the band and the students back behind the team. Keep the premium seating but lower the prices in the west end zone and at the top of the third deck. Poor people can’t afford to go or take the kids. Poor people make noise. So do their kids. When kids scream, kids next to them scream.
College Football is about 1) Winning 2) Tailgating and 3) a student BAND
Bill Bissell and his band accented the action on the field. Sacks and TFL “NaNa Nah. NaNa Hah” popping drums, clanging symbols.
Lose the bars holding back the team in the tunnel. It’s fucking embarrassing. The players hate it. Shit can the purple smoke.
“Say who; say what.” Organic hype, both for the players and the fans outside the tunnel. Let our players fuck with the opponents in the tunnel. James let it happen. He encouraged it. There’s enough comportment in society these days.
Bring back the Husky VW and jack up the air raid siren volume. It’s tradition. Every Husky fan with a pulse knows the siren. It’s lost in all the manufactured bullshit.
Newsflash Jen. Back in the 80s fans tipped flasks. Everyone had one. It was no big deal. Fans got fucked up and mostly stayed in their seats or went to the parking lot to mix and down another bomber. Install kegs at ALL the concession stands. People will pay. Let them go back to their seats.

Compared to the UW alumni and other college educated families who will get 5 non nose-bleed tickets, buy food for themselves and their kids, and buy merch for their family because they are spending time with their family without having to watch some dumb fuck Disney movie. -

We’ll have to agree to disagree on that. Forgetting the post game party piece, having the 12:30 start time was nice for fans from other parts of the state to get home at a sane hour (this isn’t just the old folks, this is young families - I’m originally from eastern Washington and I’m willing to bet my two dads would’ve taken me to far fewer games growing up if there had been constant later kickoffs). Plus it would be nice if East Coast fans didn’t have to watch our games so late.backthepack said:
3:30 or like 4 pm kickoffs are the best. You can get fucking destroyed at the tailgate enough time to sober up a lil bit to party.Doog_de_Jour said:We had an intern at my company that is currently going to UW and I asked him what he thought about the gameday experience and what could be done to improve things and he said the AD tries too hard. College kids want the 12:30 kickoffs back (late enough to sleep in, yet the game is done early enough to go out and party on a Saturday), and really good internet access for their smartphones. That’s it. Not rocket science.
I say this because the AD, by chasing after the young ones with things they *think* they want but don’t, has needlessly antagonized the rest of the fan base. I don’t see any harm in trying the throwback night (I went to a Mariners game years ago and they did something similar ー it was a big success). -
This is a good idea, while I guess people could technically look up info on their phones, in this era of the RedZone channel, etc. people are more used to having real time updates.UWerentThereMan said:Show more replays from other games on the Jumbotron. We should be able to see the scores from other games at least four times per quarter.

Pipe in Lou Gellerman's voice welcoming us into Husky Stadium and on 3rd down.
I love to tailgate, but the people who show up to tailgates don't know how it works. I have a pretty epic tailgate set up in E1 (((humble brag))). If we don't have anyone staying back to watch over the stuff and watch the game on TV, we have to pack up. The casual fan shows up and wants to hang out while we are trying to get everything jammed back into everyone's vehicle. This holds us up getting into the stadium. it is kinda like people who go out on your boat. once docked, they leave. they don't pitch in for gas or clean up. those people suck ass
Open up the DawgSleds for all people. not just the infirm and fat. Too many times I have seen an empty DawgSled with a few people on it.
Let all people use the elevator who want to use it. That 7 minute hike up the north ramps sucks, but it burns off the beers I drank. But it may make me late into my seats. -

I hate the banners but they pay the bills. I miss old shaking Husky Stadium but it was a dump. The old uniforms wouldn't sell to recruits today.
You guys sound old poor and white.

1. Sell booze at concession stands. Everyone loses their buzz in the second quarter. And, for whatever reason, lots of people don't like/want to smuggle in booze.
You're competing with watching the game at home, which is a pretty good experience now. Don't make it harder by forcing people to struggle to get drunk & make noise. Don't allow it in the student section, fine. But treat the rest of us like fucking adults.
2. It's bigger than the AD, but not bigger than the conference. The number of TV commercials fucking sucks for the live crowd. Every couple minutes, the air/energy gets sucked out of the stadium for TV timeouts. It's horrendous, and I swear it's getting worse.
3. Fix the internet service. Part of being a fan nowadays is checking Twitter, texting your friends, checking the hardcore husky game thread. It's insane that you can't update Twitter during the game.
4. It has nothing to do with that band. -

Here's how stupid UW is with this shit. People in Seattle already go an extra mile to recycle. They don't need video of Steve Pool and his smoking hot daughters telling us to recycle. What we need is videos of Husky Legends telling the crowd to stand up and cheer like crazy. Talk about how back in 1990, Todd Marinovich only saw purple and couldn't hear shit on the field. That's the lesson to teach our? fans.CaptainPJ said:I think she should return the “highlights” of Steve Pool and his family responsibly recycling.
That tore the roof off the place!!
God Seattle sucks
We could use videos of Steve Pool's daughters having a pillow fight or something.
