my $10k is a low ball, hopefully it’s more in the $20k. That would be the equivalent to an increase of 2000-3000 tickets per game for a 6 game schedule. So I think we’d be comparing the cost of suites (and upgraded press and stadium room) with adding some 5000 seats if we thought we could add to our attendance.

Montana, I think, is the leader in the clubhouse in this area which explains their 8 home games and no FBS. They have 47 suites (sold out) that start at $14k. Add on the revenue from sold out season tickets and 24k capacity stadium, and their revenue dwarfs the others.

Imagine we had 20 and sold them for $10k.

it sounded like the revenue that they brought in from the suites made the game day attendance irrelevant in terms of their ability to bid on playoff games (they drew 6000 that day). Got them thinking it was easier to bring in much more game day revenue than by increasing ticket sales by 5000 a game. I think that the mindset moving forward on seat fees for season tickets.

I imagine we’re up there just due to cost of a scholarship

During the alumni zoom, a couple interesting tidbits came out. One that stood out - it was mentioned that the Washington payroll was $30M in NIL. Plough echoed what was said here - the gap between schools like us and the elite is bigger than ever. Apparently, the number of large differential games this last weekend (can’t remember the criteria) was historical.

I thought the win over USD was an indication that they were much improved this year. That being said......what the heck happened to SUU after they racked up 300 rushing yards the week before against Idaho State?

Just looked at SUU stats vs ISU. They ran 50 times for 333, and passed for over 200. What happened vs USD?!!

the loss at USD is a bit of a shock. Ploy beat USD up the first week. Torreros ran for nearly 300 yards but only passed for 94. SUU stats were skewed the other way, throwing got nearly 325 and running got 80 or so. Hopefully a chance to get our run game going and get our heralded TEs in the mix.

I hadn't realized while watching the game that we were resting a good number of starters in the 2nd half (beside Pinnack). Good for the long term health of the team....not so great for the point differential!

absolutely. I would have much preferred playing them last week in their opener when they were getting things figured out and we were a fresh fresher physically and mentally .they got on a roll early and we’re able to utilize all their athletes. That QB was really impressive - accurate, smart, athletic snd always under control. It’ll be interesting to see how they go in the Big10.

That was a tough one to watch. Their length at DB never gave out WRs any space and we never got the TEs into the pass game. Didn’t expect to run much so the lack of offense wasn’t a shock.

On defense, we just couldn’t put together 3 stops (4 on our side of the field) - we’d get close, and either they made a great athletic play (QB is really good), or the RB would break a tackle and keep drives moving.

Special teams haven’t been great except for the faked punt. Stupid pooch kick out of bounces, punt return for TD are the latest.

Brutal opening 3 weeks. Lick our wounds, get healthy and get the offense clicking. Ready for a home game with a nice, loud crowd!

I think score and just a change of pace!

Fake punt!!

Harper in the game

So close to stopping them….and it turns into an 8 yard run that keeps the drive moving.

It’ll be interesting to see how far Washington goes. They look solid

I’m surprised at out kickoff game. Put it in the end zone

Nice drive. Lots of positives. Let’s get a stop now - we’ve been close the last two drives

and a great play.

Defense is better but just can’t get that stop. That 4th down call was nice. Lots of weapons out there

This QB is pretty special. That drive was all him

Passing game gets their WRs so open. And QB is very accurate. Defense is better - a couple missed tackles on this drive have kept them moving
