Sadly yes. And that goes back to coaching. I think that we have the right coach to overcome that aspect of the game (meaning not quitting)

It was way more than $200.
Flight to Portland $99 x 2
2 nights hotel in Portland $400
Train to Seattle $30 x 2
Tickets to game $0
Boat ride to game $75 x 2
3 nights in Seattle $600
Flight home $99 x 2
Add in the food and booze and it starts getting close to $2000 for a game that we never went back to after halftime.
Now spending $2k to see Seattle and Portland is not bad, compared to spending any amount of time in Lawrence (did stay a night here and have the best story ever) or Iowa.
I'll actually be there in my ****ty seats that cost double what my Folsom seats cost. I was just stating I completely understand the boycotters. I'm also still pissed that Plati killed/ate the last person on this site that started a boycott. RIP 87toinfinity
I do not consider myself a boycott participant. While I consider myself a huge fan (insert weight joke here), the "support your team" argument wears thin at times. Colleges want to have it both ways. They charge very nearly what one would pay to see a professional game and employ practices to squeeze the very last nickel out of every attendee. As soon as someone raises the observation that "hey it stinks to go and watch you get your head handed to you we can and week out", the support dear old CU argument comes out. Either you are putting a product on the field it is worth premium dollars or you aren't. As much as I love to see buff football, when it is played at a crappy venue, in an unpleasant atmosphere, away from Folsom field, and on the heels of seven losing seasons, huge fan or not, I reserve the right to watch the game on the tube if I choose.

Good for you, have a great time.
the biggest joke of this entire game is the prices CU is charging to upgrade your ticket so you are not stuck in the last row of the 5th level. Season ticket holders are forced to purchase the game even when we are the "visitors", the tickets they give you for the game at IvescoAuthorityMileHigh Gulag are not anywhere close to where your CU season tickets are at Folsom.

Link to that? (if you have it)
True. It is your right. What I am referring to is the argument that people make about wanting to go see the buffs but not going simply because they want to send a message to the admin that they disapprove of the venue. Guys, I am not trying to be rude. I f I came off rude I apologize. I just think that if the Buffs were winning big, the venue reason wouldn't be used as much. I do not like that the game is played at SAF. I just think that by going to the game, spending my money, cheering with friends, fellow alumni, and students, I am helping the program more than not going. I do not question anyone's "good fan vs bad fan status". Is just constructive criticism of the execution of the methods we use to make an impact.
I hope there are no hard feelings here my fellow Buff fans.

It's not just the venue, most of us want this game discontinued. We will go if it is in Boulder, but the series has run its course.
I don't think anyone has mentioned they want to boycott the Central Arkansas game. And why would you want to miss a game in beautiful Folsom field.

If CU loses to CSU, attendance is going to dip dangerously close to 40k for Central Arkansas.
CU fans owe nothing at this point. Especially the fans that had season tickets last year.
I don't care if, or where, they play the game. It will probably be over 90 degress for most of the game, so I'm not going.
I have nothing major against playing the game in Denver. Boulder/Folsom can get monotonous and the drive up and back on 36 is seldom pleasant. As a Denver resident I believe that the sometimes overbearing presence of our excellent police force adds a nice edgy eastern European or South American ambiance to the goings-on, not unlike a Bulgarian or Columbian soccer match. Sometimes you gotta get outta the Boulder bubble and breathe in the uncertainty and the chaos......:wow::nod:

I am going to the game but I a peeved about having to upgrade my tickets in order to have decent seating. It is very likely this is my last season as a season ticket holder. It is very little fun going to games and the misery of having to go to the Broncos stadium just adds to the issues.
Hendersonesque post! Well, at least the VBallers aren't 14.

massive tool
He knew Henderson has surfed AllBuffs for material, but I get we know now that posts as well. You've been unmasked.
Ummmm...no? Not underaged gymnasts. I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.
I prefer women pole danc...err....vaulters.
I think he overtook BB2 with that comment.

I am not going, upgraded to club level last couple of years and ended up sitting on the CSU side. Two sections of CU fans right in the middle of their side of the stadium.
Not falling for that trick again. I'll be watching on my 106" screen.

Given the circumstances at the time, not sure if much sympathy is really deserved.
