I laugh at the notion that UC didn't fill their seat allotment at LSJU because it wasn't that long ago when UC occupied more seats at old Stanford Stadium than the home standing Cardinal. Heck, one year, UC had more fans there than the entire capacity of the new Stanford Stadium.
College football is cyclical. UC was up, Stanford was down; now it is the opposite ; in the not too distant future it will reverse; then it will reverse again, etc. etc. etc.Â
The novelty of the game in Santa Clara will ensure that both sides will sell their entire allotment.
As some posters here have said in the past, just the volume of UC grads v. LSJU grads who live in this area gives UC a distinct advantage when it comes to selling seats.
Lastly, an aside to Lefty... Never assume that BI's public site represents the thinking of rationale UC fans. That site attracts the fringe element and they are, as a whole, clueless when it comes to UC sports. In fact, there has been a much better and far more logical discussion on the private site. I would suggest that there is a 70-30 split IN FAVOR of playing the game in Santa Clara.
