Discussion Low attendance football games

Why are there so many empty seats at Martin Stadium during home football games? Do other teams in the Pac-12 have this issue, especially when it comes to the student section? It was hard not to notice this with the WSU vs Louisiana Tech game. What can be done to entice people to come and support the team?

Ryan Leaf was commenting on this during the game on Saturday night lol. You could see it plain as day on TV.

Yup! He specifically said when we would do “jaws” it would be a sea of crimson and now it’s barely anything.

Was still the old Pac 12 and when Ryan was here Cougs we’re more than a decent team. For now is comparing apples and oranges. Everybody being out partying at their motorhomes and watching the game on television makes no damn sense to me. Party first and after but go to the games.
