Husky Stadium will be sparsely populated next season. Like @puppylove_sugarsteel favorite steelhead hole, there just won't be the numbers of fish there anymore. The Seahawks and 12's are reeling and rebuilding, DeBoner needs to pull a rabbit out of his ass to garner some buzz and excitement. If this doesn't happen it's pea patch tim until the next coaching search where we get our sweatpant Boner from some instaclown that bleeds purple and says "enter hottest coach in America" is coming here(Bob Stoops, fuck off) which he won't, but it will prop up business for the sinking legion of Husky scrap metal salesman....
Fuck off, it's midday, and reads like a drunk post, which it's not because I have a meeting in 1hr
I know more people giving up season tickets than keeping them. No one is giving them up because of Covid fear.
Jen has possibly killed the golden goose
Like everything in life, it's somewhere in-between.
The Seattle people still have a massive convenience and the cost to them isn't really taxing.
I'm 100% certain season ticket sales will be off significantly.
I talked to 2 people yesterday who live in the Seattle area who are out. For the same reason I am. Unknown start times. Unappealing opponents, pick a seat anytime you want to go on stub hub for less than season tickets, the lack of commitment to winning, a general perception of a move away from traditions that connected people to the program and toward a more NFL atmosphere.
No one I know was afraid of Covid, but many I know refused to show proof of vaccine or deal with mask horseshit. Hopefully those things don't return.
When a late start time is announced for Kent state or Portland state I'll be happy to not see my tickets languish on stub hub for $8.
“ . . . hate money and applaud UW for the stuff last year . . .”
Applaud UW for what? Winning 4 games?
Firing Jimmy Fake and eating $10M?
You’re full of shit.
If I had to guess I would say season tickets will be down 15+%. Not insignificant. Tickets will be easily found on stub hub. Parking too.

I'm not even just talking about UW, but OSU and Orygyunn grads I talk to as well: the circumstances make it so that you need to just buy game to game tickets. It doesn't make sense to get seasons tickets unless you live in or near Eugene, Seattle, Corvallis, and Pullman.
Quooks I'm fri nds with only had interest in going to their WSU and Plat' Cup games and wanted to spend the rest of their season ticket money on hookers and blow.
That's a Pac 12 problem, and a lot of the points you made deal with that. Not my problem to figure that out obviously, hopefully the fucking Oregon grads in th UW AD understand money and marketing, but that's doubtful.
But my personal group wants to burn money on all of that still. They actually feel sorry for the AD because of covid.
I would take your seats, and light money on fire, but I have 3 month old and 2 year old demons.
But I could play the "fuck your parents" card on my wife too. hmm.
OR
“ declining season ticket holder base is bullshit. Maybe we by the people here, but my inner circle is all alums (amazon/tech types) and they're donating as much as ever. The people HERE aren't donating, whoop dee fucking doo.
These are all people sitting on the field, Tyee.
