Announced crowd 24,381.  UW fans bought a lot of sunny side tickets, which was a lot more full than the shady side.  Very few students.

Did they ever! Our section on the sunny side which is about 1/3 full at best had very few empty seats. We were now in a section with 2/3 Washington fans. Fortunately, they all were "well behaved" and there was no real "tension". That said, it isn't at all an encouraging look for attendance. The shady side was very empty. The lack of student attendance was actually shocking. The 4 PM start was actually pleasant, weather-wise. It was shirt-sleeve weather until the second half. 

IMO the UCLA score discouraged people from attending. Most expected an even worse showing. That is not what happened, but you probably need to just like football to appreciate last night's game. Unfortunately it appears few do.
