congrats, too bad the game is relegated to a station only people with Sports Tier-2 have.

I'm super stoked about our first game too, 'cept I don't know when we play, who we play, or where we play.
-

I agree with the TV piece. CBS Sports only has 44 million subscribers which about half of what ESPN has. Summer is over though, and this is one of the better games this weekend.

Time to get our pac12 on :excited:

Very weird that you had to use the opposing team's newspaper webpage to find information about the game.
-
Good luck to your Rams, Mike. Did you happen to see that the Cats are a pre-season top 20 team? :love:
-
How many tens of thousands of empty seats they expecting?
-
Hey Mike. Good luck to your gridiron rams.

GO RAMS!

great looking stade.
and that student section. :love:
-
Too bad this could probably be a closer, more entertaining game than whatever they're putting on real tv.
-

It's been sold out for months. You should check the prices on stubhub for this game.

i honest to god do not know who we play in the first game. i was pretty excited for a minute when i saw this thread bc i thought we had a gridiron date with the rams :frown:
-
:confused: Why is it EST? We're still on Daylight Saving Time :dunno:
-
Glad to see CSU was able to up-cycle some old field turf. #gogreen

good win

Felt legit sad for our Rams that there were literally thousands of empty seats :frown:

Was a sad site. 41,000 seats, probably 36,000 rams plus maybe a few hindered Beavs in attendance.

Not in the first quarter. The south endzone didn't fill up until about midway through the first quarter, then it thinned out at halftime and never filled again. The school disperses 10,000 student tickets. The student seating section is general admission and stretches from the north endzone to behind the south endzone. The students just cram into it (bench seats, not that they ever sit) even into the aisles.
There is a ROTC section (not sure why) right next to the band that never filled up, but that couldn't have been more than a couple hundred seats. The rest of the stadium was full the first half.
I think a lot of people wanted some relief in the shade because it was in the mid-90's. I hung out in the concourse during halftime because it was flippin hot. The concourses are open so you can see the field from them. There are also TV's about every 10 feet in there.
-
I don't see any empty seats.

how much does the stadium hold mike? Maybe the announced attendance of 37,500 is actually max and not the reported 41K capacity?

Thousands of empty seats, Mike. :(
-

There are 36,500 seats, but the stadium is able to accommodate 41,000 in standing room only areas (concourses, New Belgium Porch, OCR room, etc). Because it was the first game, and not wanting to overload stadium staff, the AD said they were only going to sell 36,500. My guess is that the extra 1100 or so were probably students that weren't turned away.
-
Maybe try ticket give aways, groupons or buy one get one type promotions to sell out?
-
it's almost like beems never left
-
They intentionally undersold the first game in a new venue? Fascinating if true.

This is the funniest thing I've ever read in my life.

I don't get the joy of making fun CSU.
-

Yes, they did. Probably something they learned when they met with other schools who recently built stadiums (ie. Minn, Tulane).
-

Why? It was sold out.

Rams looked good. Stadium looked good.

Thank you. Good luck vs Central Arkansas. And good luck this season. I hope you guys win the Big 12 and go to the playoffs.

What empty seats?
-
CSU played 10 true freshmen and 4 RS freshmen vs Oregon St. Depth is getting built.
-
Mike do you guys still use Times New Roman or did you guys re-brand to a different font?

I don't know about unsold seats but there were definitely a lot of empties, it was noticeable on tv. Mike the first picture you posted has blocks of empty seats right in the middle of the section behind the closed in end zone. I believe that's the student section, you guys give way too many student tickets but I'm guessing that's because that many can't be sold on a regular basis. I'm sure school hasn't started yet there but that shouldn't be an excuse.
-
Fill the seats, Mike.

I'm not seeing empty seats behind the endzone in the pic I posted. That section was full halfway through the 1st quarter until halftime. They are the last of the student seats to get filled because they're the worst.
All students pay an athletics fee and in return get "free" tickets to any of the sports (including football and men's and women's basketball). Students have to reserve tickets online using their student account. They were all claimed for this game some time last week (first week of school). I'm pretty sure it is 10k tickets for the students, but someone on the Ram board said it's 11k, so I'm not 100% sure of the quantity.
-
1-0 on the year thanks to my CSU Rams. I bought a .5 point for some reason to get it down to -3 :lol:
-
If there's one thing I know about CSU, it's that there is a poster named Mike from Ft. Collins that posts here and he likes them.

This board has fallen so far that it's arguing with a fan of a D-2 team about attendance.

I'm glad I've never had to endure the embarrassment of having a stadium only filled 90% of the way.

I'm in Denver, and the bar can't even get the game. Big time college football.

That's what happens when it's on the Pac-12 network. Has everything to do with CU (home team) and nothing to do with CSU.
-
It has a lot to do with the fact that nobody really cares about either team, in their own market.
-

Exactly. Those are Pac-12 officials too. Coincidence?

Except for the 74,000 people who showed up.

Yep, that resides on the Pac-12. I don't even get that channel. Pac-12 Network = small time.
-
Crushing loss, at least the half full stadium got a chance to try and riot because they were so wasted on beer.
-
73,000??
No friend, no.

Yeah Mike, I think you guys probably got hosed.

Good win over Charlotte today. Too bad there were literally thousands of empty seats. :frown:

Oh snap

Fill the seats, Mike.
3:58 left in the 1st Quarter. Look at all the empty seats. I wonder how empty the upper levels are? Fill the seats, Bones... :ohno:
