If the game were held at Hughes Stadium, Sacramento City College would get a big cut of the revenue, so UCD may not see a financial advantage to "hosting" there. Hughes also lacks any kind of premium seating, which will piss off season ticketholders who pay extra to not sit with the riffraff. It also lacks adequate concession stands for that kind of a crowd. You could have food trucks, but it would be a tricky affair to park them inside and keep customer lines away from the playing field.

If I believe some of the regulars here I'm trolling too.
I'd just as soon see the Causeway Classic end. Some traditions are no longer relevant, and this one just brings out a lot of nastiness and "Well, I never !" types.

Thanks for the ChatGPT research on the UCD season by the way. It was funny, but someone really didn't get it.

While its entirely possible Sac starts selling out Hornet Stadium (maybe halfway through the year?) I'd be careful with your attendance prediction.....during the dominant 3 straight conference championships (30-8 record) Sac averaged less than 13,800 This was dominant, fun, high scoring football, and it didn't consistently draw large crowds. (I threw out the 2021 covid year which looked like about 6k).

I'm wondering what possibly going 30-8 over the next 3 seasons looks like in the same stadium with just bigger dudes on the roster. If every game draws like Montana and Davis, you could be in business.


Davis can draw 15,500+ depending on what mood the fire marshal is in. I'm sure Sac fans would help achieve this if they would fill their section (partially trolling)...



Sac averages around 13,500 a game.
2018: 3,709 (I threw this out, your welcome)
2019: 11,918 (6 games)
2020: covid
2021: pretty much covid
2022: 14,338 (7 games)
2023: 13,348 (5 games)
2024: 14,046 (5 games)

If you look over the last 30 years of Causeway, Davis fans boost attendance when it’s in Sac, and in some years outnumbered the home fans. But Sac fans are much less likely to come to games in Davis, even in years when tickets remained. As to why Sac fans don’t travel, I’d always assumed it was because they couldn’t get an out-of-county trip approved by their probation officer in time.

Please allow me to give the CSUS rebuttal.

Ahem... "Something about cow turds and
Duck Favis !"

It amazes me that the thought process of Sac students is that we are going to lose so why show up.

How to you get 15k at a stadium with 10k capacity? I've been at what seem like sold out Causeways in Davis with the lawns filled and its like 11k, maybe?

You know how this works with the grass/standing room.....but I'll bite on the light trolling.....
Utah Tech game last year drew 14,832. Montana State 14,000.
The amount of people let in the grass area and standing room is based on how the fire marshal feels about life that day.
