This is my #1 reason.
Years ago the games in all sports used to be blacked out in the local market so that people would go to the stadium. It has not been common the past 20 years but I can see it coming back if the attendance problem becomes big.

Why attendance is down and it's not the students

It's because BYU refuses to fill in the corners
Indy Coug

Wouldn't that just cause more empty seats? We can't fill the ones we have now.

You're totally not catching the vision. Fill in the corners, and they will come.

I don't see how increasing capacity will increase demand. Maybe just me.

Most of the national decline in attendance is in student sections

Having OU, UT, OKst, Baylor would fill the stadium. No question.

Was the stadium even completely full against Texas last year?

I dropped my season tickets when TCU & WVU got into the Big 12 instead of BYU.

You decided to punish BYU because they didn't get into a P5 conference?

Polaris, the issue for me is BYU's PR. They handled the Big 12

That is all based on the Big East lawyer pitching a fit

I think season ticket sales are down because less of the games are at good times

That's a good point. We rarely sold out Thursday games.

I think that's the main reason there was low attendance last Thursday.

I can't see how opponent familiarity has anything to do with it.
SpiffCoug
9/16/14 9:17am
It is a small factor.
CosmoK
9/16/14 9:29am
So the problem is really that we don't have common opponents with the Utes?

Its a factor. Common opponents, a way to measure our progress/success.
