I was looking at some videos and it looked pretty full

The student section has been fantastic this year.
If you're drawing 60k on a Friday night, 6 o'clock kickoff, against a 4-5? team (not going to bother looking it up) after a lackluster, disappointing season, in a new conference you don't belong in with roster turnover….that's not bad. I didn't even go into how stupid CFB is at this point.
Penn State white out against same .500 team not to mention another 15 schools in midwest/south say hi.
Softy tweeted same shot right before senior night started. He was at Happy Valley a week ago where 90,000 people were in the seats 30 minutes b4 kick. He didn't say anything as it told all the words needed.
I was there last night when the Seniors ran out. There wasn't close to 9000 people in the stands.
It was abysmal, embarrassing and sad, and you look like horses ass everytime you trot out greatest setting tagline
No Hamilton, but when you have a 45 degree and completely dry weather event, coupled with just 9 months to plan for a 6pm Friday Night kick, along with tickets costing slightly more than a large Starbuck's latte expecting anything less than 10,000 empty seats is not being reasonable.
Good thing 75% of those attending either couldn't walk over from campus as students or find a light rail that runs every 3-5 minutes and drop them off right in front of stadium.
They changed the format of senior day. Got to seats about same time as in the past and was surprised the team ran out with no senior recognition. There was probably an email I ignored. Crowd leaving early when out of reach and cold, say it ain't so.
Student section was impressive.Do they legit pay extras to show up? Who has the grades and supports Hamas enough to get into UW and wants to watch 5-5 UW take on 4-5 UCLA when it's 40 degrees on a Friday?
Agreed too UCLA had a shit ton of false starts. As did USC. Maybe we should have pumped in noise like UCLA in 2022.

The crowd in general was fine given a Friday game, .500 caliber football, and from what I heard was horrific traffic.
As was mentioned elsewhere, the Seniors were introduced at the end of warmups and not prior to taking the field … which at least has historically been the tradition (I'm not sure if it changed post COVID as I wasn't at those games for family reasons). The change wasn't well communicated to start with. Making that change with senior recognition being tied to a weeknight game with what was surely going to be a late arriving crowd was an unforced error and not allowing for the proper recognition of some very notable players.
Hopefully the program will take note of the feedback and switch it back.
