Interesting moment from the game: near the end one of our camera/media guys had an L shaped piece of binder paper and walked down onto the field, only for an ISU coach/trainer to grab the paper, rip it up, and push our dude around. Not sure how to feel about bringing a literal L to the other team but it was ridiculous seeing the ISU staff member who was probably in his 40s physically push someone.

ISU website says 6,300.

Pleasantly surprised with the student srvtion

morning everyone! ticket sales looking significantly better than yesterday...

my parents need a place to hang out, would they be welcome haha?

the most wild thing for me is that the attendance for lots of fcs playoff games are low... but they also have like 3k-17k students compared to our 40k...blows my mind sometimes when I think about the size of this school haha

It seems obvious that the heavy focus on academics connects to the whole struggle to have people understand who we are playing, and even more getting people into the seats. Our social media team has KILLED it recently in my opinion, but attendance isnt booming or something. I also think from people that I've talked to, that the whole fbs vs fcs thing confuses the hell out of people (which again goes back to most students not being very involved in athletics). The amount of folks who hear that were in the playoffs and then ask why we are not playing the likes of oregon would surprise you. Granted, if we played oregon I dont know how much better attendance would be hypothetically during finals week, but its an interesting distinction to have all the graphics say "d1" playoffs and then potentially play southeastern Missouri State not cal or arkansas. Dont think moving to fbs would necessarily solve our attendance woes (see our basketball attendance even though all d1 conferences are simply that, d1) but its an interesting thing to think about public perception wise.

plough robbed

I think its kinda just the honest reality of going to a school where academics are basically everything... which is great but also I think most students could take a few hours off studying to go to the football game instead of scrolling tik tok.. im 20 and sound 90 but still.

I’m not gonna lie the amount of students I’ve talked to on campus who are stressed about finals and don’t plan on going is not the most encouraging…

i want that stadium expansion, especially after a season like this. My frustration with our AD's stadium renderings and then inaction was already extreme, but after seeing these attendance numbers, and the lack of concessions, bathrooms, and non-grass seating im even more feral for expansion.

yeah, tickets are free through the same ticketing app that everyone uses. When you log in with your student ID it has a student ticket option that you can get for free. I think NCAA makes all college football playoff games paid for students? I would much rather us be able to just go to games and show our IDs personally. The website has been finicky for friends before and not recognized their student ticket status but its generally good.

WOOOOOOOOOOO UCD UCD UCD

Sac state qb is gonna be good.

yeah stoked!! WOOOO

I thought I saw that black turf move a bit under the right but that’s a stretch lol

guy walking around my apartment complex in North Davis wearing a sac state hoodie, hat, and socks is a bit much.
