I think ESPN has reduced the home field advantage for us. The Oregon fans who show up were going to take the day off anyhow. For us, it will be an after work game.

I think that could go both ways, it's easier to come to town for a Saturday night game, you might not need to miss any work at all. But a Thursday game means missing at least one day. Then again, I have no idea how many of the Ducks who show up are from Oregon (or some similarly distant place).

I'm still hopeful that we can continue our upward attendance trend, because at the end of the game in 2011 I'm pretty sure the Oregon fans were significantly louder than ours. Last year I don't think that ever came close to happening, and if it's going to happen it'll be against USC.

So I guess I'm not sure if it'll be reduced by all that much. And it ought to be a lot better than playing in Autzen...
