The biggest negative is that the team is now 3-5 instead of 3-4.
Other than that, it depends on the demographics.
For families with children, a 7:30 game the night before Halloween is the a absolute worst time possible, so I’d expect some more families.
The UCLA and Oregon games set records for student attendance. There was a big dropoff for the Washington game, but the Saturday night before Halloween is the absolute best night for parties, so, I’d expect more students at the Utah game.
For young professionals, it’s a mixed bag. If they work late or have a long drive,
it can be bard to make a Friday night game. But again, there’s less chance of a conflict with a different event.
Last, for opponents, there are a lot more UDub alums around than Utah alums, but Utah is doing well and could be the Pac 12 champions, generating more excitement, so this might be a push.
the AD apparently didn't think this would be a high demand game given the face value of my sec 134 alumni seat is $22, the lowest of all the home games....the UW game ticket face value was $47....
