PAC MAN Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 It seems like we haven't heard much about Utah expanding RES of late. Any movement on that despite declining attendance across the country At least it isn't half complete like OSU's stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

utenation Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 It seems like we haven't heard much about Utah expanding RES of late. Any movement on that despite declining attendance across the country At least it isn't half complete like OSU's stadium. RES just expanded by about 1000 seats in 2014. The next step is a new $6 million scoreboard and updated restrooms with expanded concourses. After that, new south end zone locker rooms which will probably come with additional seating. The best part about our AD is he doesn't make knee jerk decisions about expanding unless it makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.E. Bruin Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 If you are a fan who appreciates great sight lines and being on top of the action, Sun Devil Stadium is hard to beat. We also have the loudest student section in the West. Really, louder then the student section at Autzen or Husky Stadium or even the Muss in Utah? I honestly do not know but I never heard ASU having the loudest student section in the West. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly do not know but I never heard ASU having the loudest student section in the West. Ted Cruz is going to be President. Oregon State gets better recruits than Michigan. And Arizona State has the loudest student section in the West. He's forming quite the list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueDuck Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 How's anyone know if one student section is louder than another? That's like me saying my row at Autzen, is the loudest row in America. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogueDuck Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 jealous I've been to sun devil stadium, I'd put it far behind Autzen, Husky and the bean dip, in terms of how load the crowd is. Last time I was there, it was dead quit for about all but the first 2 minutes of the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scoreboard has been delayed, not sure for how long. Hope that gets done soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utenation Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 The scoreboard has been delayed, not sure for how long. Hope that gets done soon. Yes, delayed but still in the near future(2016). It's delayed because there will be new construction soon on the SEZ and they want to make sure the logistics of the new board will work with the construction. I hope that pushes the SEZ project sooner than later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBug708 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Isn't ASU about to have the largest undergrad numbers with their UofPhoenix type online networking? Bring two cans and you get free admission? Ucla generally has the smallest student section in September Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would get it for the Arizona schools, when it is still hot, but September should be nice in LA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mano Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Quarter system. Classes don't start until late September. With an enrollment of over 40k, I would think there would still be plenty of students around. I get that there are lots of things to do in LA, but the Bruins football fans seem pretty apathetic.

I would get it for the Arizona schools, when it is still hot, but September should be nice in LA. They don't even have their own stadium. The students arrive for the game in little yellow buses.

Damage U Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 We also have the loudest student section in the West. Ahh...Brings back memories of the MWC Board when BSU fans were claiming they were the loudest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quack 12 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I remember the 2012 "Blackout the Ducks" game at SDS. Oregon fumbled on their second play from scrimmage, handing ASU a 7-0 lead. The ASU student section was very possibly the loudest in the west at that moment. Then the Ducks ran off 43 straight points, and the place was empty by halftime. drunkest maybe? Waddya mean, maybe?

spaniard Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 If you are a fan who appreciates great sight lines and being on top of the action, Sun Devil Stadium is hard to beat. We also have the loudest student section in the West. Get back to me when we finish the $256 million in upgrades for 2017: new luxury suites, new concessions, new restrooms, new video system, new sound system, new football-only training facility built into the stadium north end zone, replacement of bench seating with new improved seats and improved leg room. According to who? I've been to plenty of Sun Devil games, and the feeling I walk away from each and every time is "If only Autzen sat that many people, and had the student section in nearly the first row across the entire stadium..." I would put a ton of other schools above Sun Devil Stadium "student section being the loudest in the West" before ASU ever saw what the list looked like. If we're talking basketball games, and the cute little charades that are played behind the curtain, then yes, you have a point. But Sun Devil stadium is cleared out by halftime because everyone is either too hot or not interested in the game. Further, ASU will continue to be the school that does less with more than any other school out there. There's absolutely no reason why that team shouldn't be a power house with the location, admission requirements, scenery (i'm talking the women), and climate.

Last time I was there, it was dead quit for about all but the first 2 minutes of the game. If it was the game a couple of years ago where Mariota caught a TD pass, I was at that game as well. And the crowd was out of that game mid way through the 1st quarter when we went up 100-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
