Fill the seats, Mike.

I trust that we landed on the moon too.

Gameday experience from a OSU visitor.

Congrats. Still doesn't change the fact that there was thousands of empty seats and unsold tickets

What empty seats?

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.

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

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.

Pac 12 Network

Those were amazingly weak opi calls, they should be pissed, that looks like a fix.

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.

[The Big Train]

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.

Also the ~323 million who didn't watch.

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.
