The Washington Huskies play both Ohio State and USC this upcoming season. Do you know which game was sold out a few weeks ago, and which one has good seats still remaining? Yes, the Ohio State game was sold out (and I got tickets :hihi: ), while the USC game is not. Plus, their games against Boise State, and Washington State (their rival) are not sold out either. Yes, Washington is not that good, but then why is the Buckeyes game sold out? I'll bet you that most of the stadium will be red when the Huskies play the OSU. Then if you go over to USC, you can still see the preseason #1 team play Washington State, Idaho, and Stanford. So in the second biggest city in the country you can't find 90,000 people to watch all the home games on the #1 ranked teams schedule? Again, these three teams are not that good, but wouldn't the demand for USC games be so high that some fans could only afford tickets to these games? If I was a true fan and I couldn't get tickets to see them play UCLA, then I will at least try to see them play Washington State. Does anyone find this strange, that Pac 10 teams can't sell out their stadiums? I live in Seattle and constantly hear how the Pac 10 doesn't get respect from other conferences, but it seems like many Pac 10 fans aren't very interested in their conference anyway.
USC's tickets won't be easily obtained.......as for the rest of the pac :hihi: , I can remember a time it was VERY EASY to get LSU tickets too. Winning does wonders. :thumb:
Your first game at Husky stadium Buckeye? It's not mine and yes, I'll be travelling to Seattle for the traditionally WORST seats in the entire Pac. Washington puts visitors in the end zone, facing away from the water (so no view even) and you still have the track between the seats and the field. Still, I'd rather sit in lousy seats among fellow Trojans than in the middle of a sea of Huskies. There are random 1 seat options for a few of SC's home games but they really are sold out for intensive purposes. Do aOSU games sell out? Sure, but what else is there to do in Columbus?
Haha no, I actually saw your Trojans demolish the Huskies in 2005 in the same end zone seats. Actually the view from those seats are not that bad- you are closer to the field then you realize since they move the bleachers on top of the track. But like any end zone seats you don't get much depth perception. At least you are not sitting in the end zone facing the water, those seats are about 30 yards from the field goals because they have a track and field area just beyond that end zone, just like Texas does. As far OSU games go, I really can't remember when seats were very easy to get. When John Cooper was coach we lost to Michigan every year, but that game was always sold out. To be fair one of the reasons that tickets go fast is that there are more than 50,000 students that can buy season tickets. Once you start with that fan base it's very easy to fill up a 105,000 seat stadium. So the only reason people like the Buckeyes is because there is nothing else to do in Columbus? It's true, we don't have to pick between going to San Diego or Hollywood (I was there a few weeks ago) and going to a Trojans game, but we still have a lot of passion for our team.
see, this is an example of how silly L.A. (and Ca and Pac10 by extension) seem to SEC fans (and probably the rest of the country's college football fans). ok, i'll agree that sitting in the endzone is worse than between the goallines, but who gives a $hit about what the view is like. lemme tell you, the view sux in starkville, but that will have nothing to do with any SEC fans decision of whether or not to attend a game. id bet the concession stands at starkville dont serve sushi either.
didnt you get the memo? evidently, southern california is the only place in the country that has things to do besides watch college football. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/columns/story?columnist=forde_pat&id=2977178&sportCat=ncf&lpos=spotlight&lid=tab3pos1
It's still easy to get tickets, they are just very expensive. I sat through six straight losing seasons under Hallman and Archer and Tiger Stadium was full of people and had regular sellouts and was damn well not half-empty like the Colliseum often is. Tiger stadium never dropped out of the top-10 in attendance during those years.
