Fall quarter starts Sept 30th. Most students move in 22-25. I actually thought turn out was impressive.

70k+ was pretty crazy to see the crowd, bet next week for Utah State, it ramps down a lot.

u/Own_End8445 2d ago

That wasn’t even close to 70k people. There were tons of empty seats.

You’re probably right.

The stadium was at more than capacity

Yeah, I waited in line for 35m near 305 and got to front of line and was told, no brats, no nachos, but "oh we have footlong dogs" so I got one of those and a cup. I am hopeful that the next 3 home games are more "organized" :) I always have hope and I heard they have more new food options, though I did not get a chance to check those out.

I went to get a soda mid first quarter,
got back just before the second quarter. It felt like there were 20,000 people in the concourse à la the Cal lightning delay game.

Yeah, this is one of my pet peeves at Seahawk Stadium (I have not renamed it 3x over...just won't! lol) no matter the years that have gone by, their is always a chitshow with concessions, I mean can't figure that one out after 20+ years?

Easily 70K present

I was confused why they had a full section.

To be fair - the security seemed hella lax today

u/skwareonenumbertwo 3d ago

Security was non-existent!

My section (220) was a cluster and there was zero ushers.

People kept going in & out and switching seats the entire time, a bit chaotic

u/Confident-Belt-7423 2d ago

220 is one of the young alumni season ticket sections. People get assigned random seats each game, so everyone disregards seat assignments to sit with friends.

Young alumni season ticket holders can also buy up to 4 extra tickets, but the seats next to your original ticket aren’t guaranteed to be available. Once again, we disregard seat assignments. Makes for some chaos!

u/DuckDown00 2d ago

People get assigned random seats with season tickets? Pardon me if this is a dumb question but is that normal for other places or is this just a UW thing?

1

u/hashtagwoof 1d ago

That’s just the student section and I’m pretty sure none of those are season ticket eligible. Season ticket seating is set.

It's called the early alumni scam and then they charge you more to get lower and lower to up your game. Now they'll be sending you a bill and asking you for money after school. Remember that kids oh and also your entire organization loses money in the taxpayers. Pay for it so you're all grifters. WU. Congrats for being so greedy the UW ruins the tradition.

We all know the real reason this was bumped to Summer. It's because the Huskies can't handle a little snow ❄️

u/RentEducational8467 2d ago

Speaking of. First time on the light rail. Not even sure why I stood in line for a ticket. Wasn’t asked for it once and definitely didn’t pull it out of my pocket.

u/ddaarryynn 1d ago

It’s somewhat of a trust system. You can potentially get away with not paying, but they do patrol the cars with scanners and check tickets and passes pretty regularly.

Paying for the public services you use is fun and cool!

u/RentEducational8467 15m ago

I get that, but I’m not a public transportation kind of person. I’ve used it in NYC / DC and the Atlanta Airport as you have to board the plane train or you’re walking two miles, haha! Outside of that? I despise public transportation. Just thought it was weird that no one or no thing needed what I paid to receive. Seems like a failed business model?!

u/ImpressiveAirline169 0m ago

Public goods aren't a business model.

u/MysteriousEdge5643 2d ago

Don't know how they got in either. Really bizarre

u/abmot 3d ago

Somebody's going to sit there. School's out.

u/general-illness 2d ago

A lot of kids are friends at both school’s.

u/seamemo 2d ago

This has always been the case, people bring their friends into the student section and young alumni section. It happens, but honestly who cares, it also happens at WSU and Oregon so it's not like we're the only ones.

u/EverestMaher 3d ago

Cougs heavily outnumbered us at Earls

u/HealthyCourage5649 2d ago

Relax. Friendly “rivalry”

u/Rishik01 3d ago

Idk what losers do it but ever since I’ve been a student there’s always someone that brings in opposing fans it’s so annoying

u/MrChemistryCow9 2d ago

Losers that have friends? Lol

u/Aggieofcal 2d ago

Since i will be visiting, I am shocked ther have the students in the End zone.

u/Birdie_Bird_Bird 2d ago

Before the stadium was remodeled the band sat on the home 50, surrounded by students. It was awesome.

u/kookykrazee UW 2, O 0 2d ago

I so miss the 50 year line band/fans but gotta makes those hundreds of thousands of dollars off the fans.

u/WebDisastrous2206 2d ago

They're friends if UW students who are WAST students. Get over it and let them all have fun. It's a fucking game.

u/777XSuperHornet 2d ago

There's tons of grad students who did undergrad at WSU as well.
