Season Ticket Poll Roll call
- Thread starter MikeDamone
- Start date
i used to attend every single game and then moved out of the area... then would fly in for games but the late scheduling then meant that I needed to stay downtown because who knows what game time would be, and now the direction of the program mismanagement means that i don't care anymore. RIP chimps.
I moved out of state in 2017 and after being gone almost 5 years now, I don’t miss that place. I still stayed up late to watch my dWags until the Montana game. This year was the fewest games I watched since 2009 and I was in Afghanistan that season.
In other words, fuck Jen Cohen for ruining the last thing in Seattle I care about.

I was younger then. Also still having fun. Now it’s drudgery. Late games and never knowing the game time until the week of the game. Stupid people and shit everywhere now. It’s absurd.

This is by no means a valid pole, but it suggests UW is going to struggle bigly to sell tickets.
To think when I first bought tickets in 1987 I had to clear a 2 year waiting list.

Dad played for the Dawgs in the ’60s. Hated Owens and didn’t support the program until his spoiled kid (read: me) begged him to re-engage with the program. So, he acquiesced, like all fathers, and threw down on season tix in 1990 (nice timing, Dad!) after clearing said waiting list.
Held on to tix after Dad passed in 2008, so it was more a me-and-mom keeping the tradition alive. Stanford 2016 was worth every penny. As good as Nebraska 1992 and Miami 2000 (I was there for both).
But then 2019 happened, making me realize I cared more about the program than the athletic dept (tired of losing to Oregon) and wasn’t worth the $2500 donation and game time inconveniences and hotel costs to keep the tradition going. And tix on secondary market work just fine. Ended 30-year run pre-COVID season since Mom is immunocompromised. (Nice timing again!)
I miss tailgating and seeing friends. But it costs too much to see a mediocre to shitty product and I too am off the ticket train as long as Cohen remains in charge.
Plus, traveling to away games is fun. Ann Arbor atmosphere was incredible this past year.

Haven't missed a home game since about 1981. Spread some of my dad's ashes under the DJ statue. (James, not Johnson) This was the first season I didn't go to at least one road game. Told Jen this was the last year, I was done. But then Jimmy fired himself, I like the Deboner hire, I hate money, it's the only time I get to see some of my college buddies and I like the time, and I'm an idiot so I am going to give him one year.
I have 8 tickets, and also run a charter bus that has been running since the 70s. 35 people, many of them ancient and if I bail, the bus goes and they will bail. As of now Covid hasn't killed them and they still want to go to the games. I'm a dick, but I'm not ready to pull the plug for them until they do. So, FMFYFML. I'm in.
