I dunno, how much can be done about 3 home games before students get back? Even in the 90s, when there only 11 games, it wouldn’t be unusual for there to be 2 home games in September. At least one of the slots has an away game: next weekend at Oregon, school still will not have started.

I wonder how much has been tried to fill seats for these early games with nearby recent alums? I know they get heavy discounts for season tickets, but they need to try something new to fill seats for these games. I’ve seen they’ve tried free tickets for kids (kids get in free with paying adults) and for educators (free tickets for local teachers, recognition for school groups), but those don’t seem to work. The stubhub seats tank so much in vaue it makes me wonder if some people are dumping their free tix. Anyway, the free ticket promos could explain the wide disparities between “sold tickets” and seats visibly occupied.

Does anyone closer to the Red Zone know — are they able to fill the student red zone tickets for these early games? Or are even the free students seats unfilled? How much of an impact does the start of school have — do students buy additional seats outside of the free student red zone?
