Will our fanbase realistically stay at home rather than go to games?

Sadly I don't think anything will happen until we leave the stadium empty, which I don't think we will do.

I think the stadium will absolutely be empty. You have to realize, Leslie never lost the openers like this, this is uncharted territory.

Hate it for the players, but not attending the home opener sends a strong message.

It might be effective to show up Saturday and then walk the frick out on the kickoff.

Leave the place empty.

They ain't getting another dime from ole TLEE.
I have a big arse Samsung.

I was thinking last night with a huge grin how great it is to be 2k richer for deciding not to go to Green Bay.

I'm not going. I'm not taking half a day off work, driving 4 hours, and forking out 300-400 bucks over the course of the weekend to watch an inept team play a high school team.

Normally I give my brother my ticket when I don't go, but I want my seat empty.

Well, everyone needs to actually do it.

Enough is enough and it's time for a change.

The next two home games are JSU and MSU. Both are awful. Nobody will go even if we would have won by 20. Yesterday will make it worse

I want a refund! TAF better use our money to buy out the contract and help get a coach with some common sense!

Nobody is staying home. People already bought tickets for the game. They are going.

I think a lot of the fans will be non- season ticket holders. There will be people / kids there who would normally watch it on Tv going to the game with freebies instead. It will be hard to show a true protest.

After the game yesterday I was thinking how fortunate I am not to have season tickets. Wouldn't want to waste that many Fall Saturdays watching a repeat of what I saw at Lambeau.

I haven't gone to a game in over 20 years. I much prefer watching them in my media room.

Les really stinks it up on my Sony 100" Z9D 4K HDR TV

While this plays a part, the larger part is the TAF large donors and what they do.

I know, after being around some very influential people yesterday that contribute large amounts of money to the program, I didn't hear anyone say let's keep Les Miles. In fact, the talk was just the opposite and it was said that if Miles isn't gone, they will stop giving money to the program.

I have season tickets that are paid for. I am not going, and I'm not giving them away.
