True, dat. Howsomever, (a) except for Notre Dame and Ohio State, UW probably hasn't had visitors whose fans travel like LSU fans in the last 7 or 8 years, (b) 7:30 PM start might bring out more local one-timers, and (c) new coach, new season, new expectations might bump the interest there.

You'll be fine. There will be scalpers and tickets available. There always is...

We are usually the game that is circled for both non-conference and conference games for opposing visitors to go to... especially early in the season when the weather is still great.

UW is one of the few BSC schools in a major city, is a location many people want to visit, and Husky Stadium /arriving by boat is something a lot of fans find interesting so we get a lot of opposing fans vising year in and year out - even the past 5 years when we have truly sucked.

Ironically, out of Ohio State and Notre Dame, Boise State sent a TON of fans two years ago. They wanted so badly to beat a Pac 10 team in their own stadium. Fortunately, they didn't get to that year but punked Oregon in its "vaunted" Autzen Stadium the very next year.

I'm looking forward to LSU and am very much looking forward to visiting LSU in 2012. Although you will probably not see it in 2009 because of the past several years and what Ty did to our fan base and program, a lot of people said Husky Stadium was the closest the West had to an SEC type tailgate - yet SEC games still took the cake. It's still fun and hopefully Sark will bring it back, but Ty sucked the life from the fans and the program and it might take more time than the LSU game to get it back...
