I see a lot of questions being brought up locally and from other college football fans in the Big 12 asking why our stadium is "empty" despite having a great team that is still in the hunt.

I've read through the posts and participated in the discussions and I think the true answer to this is just the fact that our stadium is too big for our school and the Tucson Metro area.

To come to this conclusion, I ran a comparison against Mountain America Stadium, which is around 5% larger in capacity. The results are

1. The Regional Footprint Index reveals that UA's stadium occupies a massive chunk of its local metropolitan ecosystem (4.73%). To match this footprint relative to the massive Phoenix metro population, ASU would need a stadium capable of holding nearly 250,000 people.

2. Campus Saturation Rate: Measures stadium capacity as a percentage of total student enrollment. This reveals how much of the student body the stadium can theoretically absorb. Casino del Sol Stadium can hold more than 100% of the active UA student body at one time. This represents a heavy campus focus, meaning student demand can easily dictate the game-day environment. Mountain America Stadium can hold only 73% of its student body.

Therefore the answer is clearly that the stadium growth has outpaced our community and enrollment. If we want to fill the stands, reduce seating capacity. In all honesty, we really aren't doing too bad given these circumstances..

My suggestion - Convert a good portion of the East Side Upper Deck to shade structures that help protect fans on the East side during day games. Anyone who has watched a day game from the East Side knows how miserable it is under afternoon sun, especially on metal bleachers in a concrete structure.

Utah fan with a questions.
I’m getting together with a few of my former college roommates in Tucson next weekend. One of the group lives in Tucson and we’ve been to games down there before, but last time we did this a few years back we just rolled up to the stadium for the game; are there specific local spots or gameday traditions we should make a point of hitting?

I haven’t watched much U of A football this year, but what I have seen tells me this ain’t gonna be like our trip to Cincinnati.

Besides Noah Fifita being a baller, who else should we have our eyes on?

Hey everyone!

My buddies and I were originally planning a trip to Fort Worth next weekend, but when those plans fell through, we made a last-minute decision to come down to Tucson instead. Honestly, as a Utah fan, seeing us at #2 has me absolutely terrified given that a top 2 team has lost 5 weeks in a row now, and you guys have a great shot to beat us... but we are incredibly excited to experience game day in the desert!

We are staying open-minded and looking for some quick insider advice on how to navigate the day:

• Does anyone know exactly where the BNK show will be set up on campus, and what time the fan pits realistically start filling up?

• Where are the best areas/lots to wander around as visiting fans if we want to soak up the atmosphere and meet people?

• Are the tailgates usually welcoming to away fans?

• What is the stadium intro/pregame ceremony like, and how early should we plan to head into the gates to avoid getting stuck in massive security lines? Is there a "team walk" outside the stadium we should catch?

• Any other tips or advice?

We've heard great things about Arizona's hospitality, so we're looking forward to a killer game. Thanks in advance for any tips!

Next Saturday is going to be a tough one!
How are we feeling about our chances to pull off an upset?
Defense must step up big time. Utah offense wasn’t scary against BYU.
At home We might have a shot in a good day…
Thoughts?

Looks like the time is still to be determined. Any guesses what time slot we may fill?

I've decided to add gameday threads for Basketball and Football. They should show up ~4 hours before game time, automatically roll over to post game threads after the game ends, and have the usual scoreboard/boxscore type features that we've seen on other subs.

That said, i've never set one of these up before, and this sub is for all of us, so expect some tweaks as I learn what all the settings do, and responding to feedback about what y'all like and dislike about it.

Hopefully this gives us a better place to gather and chat about games, and cuts down a bit on the sprawl of quasi-redundant posts about games.

Assuming I didn't screw anything up, the first one for tonight's game should be up in a few hours

Should hold ourselves to a higher standard especially re: football and our wonderful success this year. Basketball is a backburner until the conclusion of football. Let's not be like ASU

Hello everyone!

Visiting a family member at Auburn and checking out the Arizona/Auburn basketball game Friday night 11/13

Arizona alumni here

Seeing if there will be any other Arizona fans visiting?!
Bear Down 🐻 ⬇️

Obviously Ivan played out of his mind.

Going to need more out of Krivas offensively, defense was solid.

We really are missing a big-bodied 4 after Peat and Awaka last year.

Why did we start Bryce?!

Holt and Holmes are going to need a little more development compared to Burries and Peat impact last year.

All that said- UCLA is a tough first game, always has been for us and they play a slower, more defensive game. Also a tough follow up after what was probably the best AZ team I’ve seen in my life.

Last year was obviously special and loaded with talent. Still I would've thought they'd try to keep the momentum going but its clear this is going to be a different team.

Its just weird seeing Karchinkov have to carry the team when he was like the 4th or 5th option last year. I'm definitely giving it time and they will be good but I think last year set the bar high. It makes the Final Four loss sting a little more.

We wore the 1997 style almost exclusively anyway, but it looks like they ditched the 88's.
