Badger fans just learned their games are on color TV every week and decided to stay home. Interesting.What is really different today from the games in the 1960's is that every game today is on color TV, every week. You can sit in front of your wide screen, turn the game on an hour and a half after the game starts and watch the whole game in less than two hours by fast forwarding through the commercials. All warm, dry and you get to see all the replays you want to see as many times as you want. Not for everyone, but a lot of people I know do exactly that. And it is all "free" in their minds.

They may have had only 65,000 there today. Probably finish in the top 15 or so in attendance.
All i know is they dwarf us in both categories.Right. Scanned tickets at the gate or sold?
“Us”All i know is they dwarf us in both categories.
Their website says "Attendance: 70747", which is lower than # of season tickets sold, so it must be gate.Right. Scanned tickets at the gate or sold?
Do not let the handle fool you. I was given that as a nickname by a former UW basketball coach.“Us”
We have often had way less people in the seats than tickets sold. We had games recently with less than 30,000 actually there. Like in hoops the other night, did we actually have more than 6000 ?Their website says "Attendance: 70747", which is lower than # of season tickets sold, so it must be gate.
Am I the only one that has had a nice color TV in recent years? Because that was a lot of open seats in the Camp and I don’t recall that from many previous years of watching their games on my big TV.What is really different today from the games in the 1960's is that every game today is on color TV, every week.

You may very well be right about the changing landscape of college football.Am I the only one that has had a nice color TV in recent years? Because that was a lot of open seats in the Camp and I don’t recall that from many previous years of watching their games on my big TV.
Fun to poke at them but we do live in a glass house as we throw rocks at anyone for attendance. As I have said before, I think TCF Bank Stadium was designed/built perfectly for the changing landscape of college football. In future years, I wouldn’t be surprised to see large swaths of open seats in Wisconsin’s 80,0000 seat stadium on a more regular basis. Poor them.
Fan police are out again ! Who decides what is the criteria ?

We sold out on our deer openerSorry to be a buzzkill, but it’s opening day for gun deer today in Wisconsin. I’m hunting with a few guys that have season tickets.
I thought the announcers said something about students having to come in single file and the section would be full eventually. I didn't watch later - did it fill up better? That'd be so aggravating to be in line forever.
