The Stanford game was in Palo Alto, no? So of course our student section was empty. Our ENTIRE stadium was empty. And people leaving early at an away stadium? So what?
Looks like we had to open up a UCLA visitor section to the public.
My point is that the actual game was secondary to them. If you remember the Stanford game, the game was far from settled at the end of the third quarter. It seemed a weird point in the game to leave.
Notice the increased availability of tickets in 101?
UCLA returned a lot of their ticket allotment back to us.
Other Pac-12 fan bases suck at travel.
Wspy?
does that mean ticket
205 and 206 also. those aren't visiting fan sections, are they?
It's looking bad at this point, guys. Really bad. Like maybe 42,000 bad.
That would be ****ing awful. I get its a Thursday night game, but come on...
sad. team deserves better.
I guess it will be up to the students to make up for the rest of us.
We're a week away. there's still time
WTF!?!?!?!
Folsom hasn't hosted a Thursday night game since 2012 (and CU fans keep telling me that year doesn't count)! what is wrong with these people? They'll ****ing pay $100+ to see millionaires play on a Thursday night but won't pay <50% of that to watch a Pac 12 game!?!?!?!?! Pac 12 has been slow jumping on the Thursday night train and this opportunity may not come again for a while.
For those who haven't experienced Thursday night college football know that, other than sex, there is nothing better than watching your team play live on Thursday night. Not only do you get the nighttime atmosphere, but you know that you're still going to be able to watch all the other big games this weekend come Saturday. This game has been virtually circled and starred on my calendar since the schedule came out. If I was only going to attend one CU game all year, it was going to be this one. /rant
Given the large area that the Pac covers, i wonder if there would be some benefit in conference subsidized flights for students and season ticket holders to make away games. Hard to estimate the ROI, but I believe it could impact how well the Pac games show on TV (i.e. empty seats look bad -- when I watch a game on TV with lots of empty seats, I always find myself wondering why I bother to watch on TV if people who live next to the venue don't care enough to show up). I also believe better visiting fan attendance could fuel the fires of developing rivalries, but again, that's a long term benefit and tough ROI to measure.
I will say that the CU ticket website is really really bogged down right now. Maybe people are buying tickets now that the game is 7days out.
I find that hard to believe. Based on a sample size of one, it will sell out... I plan to fly out from LA to see my first game of the year (was unable to get to the USC game)!!!

It will fill in over the next week. I think it hits at least 47,500
There are many more tickets left with a week remaining than there were for Oregon State or ASU, and that's what I'm basing it on. In fact, the ASU game was basically even if not ahead of where we're at right now with 12 days left.
Same with Washington State FYI. First Saturday of break too.
I was wondering about this a few weeks ago. That weekend has been really bad attendance since I've been attending CU games, so I looked at how that weekend did "back in the day". Before 2010, it sold it every year, but the opponent was Nebraska, not Utah, so I'm not sure the data is valid.
If Utah somehow beats Washington, that game will be a sellout.
??? The game is 7 days away...
And, like I said, I'm comparing it to where the other games were 7 days away and it's way behind them.
Didn't keep scrolling. My. Bad.

Fun fact: Top attendance at Folsom was for the Fleetwood Mac/Bob Seger, Firefall concert in 1977 attendance was estimated at 61,500. Estimated because no one really knows it was likely a larger number. I believe CU Program Council had accidentally oversold tickets far past capacity. The pictures of that day are pretty amazing to look at it. There are crowds of people sitting on upper story windowsills.
