$19.00 under light special

get tickets while you can!!! Let's sellout the War for a change, LOL

Mon Oct 31, 2016 9:07 am

No f'ing way in hell we're selling out an 8:15 game. We'll be lucky to get 22K.

Mon Oct 31, 2016 9:16 am

hence why tickets are cheaper, worth a try tho

Agreed. It beats their complete lack of an attempt to sell out the Boise game last week.

They really ought to let kids under the age of 14 in free, and under 18 in for like $5.00. It is a late game and the cheap tickets are nice, but it would be a good opportunity to get the younger generations excited.

Mon Oct 31, 2016 9:31 am

agreed, give back to us fans once in awhile

Mon Oct 31, 2016 9:44 am

Call me crazy, but there seemed like more than 24k for Boise. The AFA and Boise crowd seemed very, very similar. Much louder for Boise, imo. Maybe I'm crazy.

nite games do funny things and make things seem larger than life, wait till this weekend

A lot of folks think a 14 year old (or younger) would be better served getting a good nights sleep rather than watching a football game that adults thought would be neat to play til midnight so they could make a lot of money.

It was band day and I'll bet the band members (plus all the supporting people) weren't counted in the attendance number.

I have my 8 year old and 6 year old coming with me this weekend! haha There is a lot of nights for kids to sleep but this pokes team is worth staying up for! We were all at the NIU game and my 8 year old stayed up the whole time but my 6 year old feel asleep. It took a good nap for all of us but we recovered before Monday's school day started. haha

Go Pokes! Night games are a blast for the kids! Lets fill the War on Saturday Poke fans!

My first game was in 88 under the lights against BYU and I was 4 years old. I still remember the opening kick off and being completely excited to beat BYU. My parents drove all night after the game to get back to Star Valley before my Dad's store opened the next day. That instilled poke pride in me at an early age and I plan on doing the same for my kids!

Beat the Aggies!

Great memory, but I have to ask. Did War Memorial even have lights in 88? I thought they were installed in the late 90's to get a TV contract. Hard to say for sure, I'm old and my memory is fading!

I agree with you about taking the kids. I took my daughter to the Utah game in November 2000 when it was like 6 below zero. I especially wanted to watch Patrick Chukwurah in a Poke uni for the last time. Kids remember that stuff!

My 1st game as a student was that night game in 88 as well, had a Bio lab that night(Thursday) and rode my bike, couldn't wait for that TA to say ok you are good to go, poof, like a light I was outta there and at the stadium in student section around 20 yd line south, man I got drunk that game as well, still remember stuff about it, Love it when the War is all dolled up in lights, yessir

UW never had lights in 88 but ESPN wanted the game, UW-BYU, so badly they brought in their own lights on trucks.

Then AD and HC Paul Roach said to ESPN's proposal, "OK, but you bring the lights!"

Lights weren't installed until 2001 or 2002-ish? I remember the 1999 game against BYU was also played underneath temporary lights (I believe that game was the first game underneath lights since the 1988 BYU game). The 2001 game against Texas A&M may have also been underneath temporary lights. I can't recall for sure though...

Bingo, I actually gave a guy a ride home last night that was talking about that being one of the best college games he has ever been at.

He is 70 and travels the U.S. to watch college games trying to see a game in every stadium.

Give me a f'kin' break! A fourteen-year-old staying up until midnight or 1am on a Saturday night is hardly what the vast majority of people would call unwholesome or immoral...

Seriously, we're having the best season since Dana Dimel was coach, and people are unhappy that the kickoff time doesn't suit bed time on a Saturday night? Guess what? It's not 1979 anymore! There's this thing called TV now, and we're on it. If we weren't, we'd be as irrelevant as the pay phone...

It was only the biggest story in UW Football since the Fiesta Bowl against Oklahoma. ESPN said, "Can we make BYU* a night game and broadcast it?" and Roach said, "We have no lights!" ESPN said, "That's okay, we'll bring our own!" to which Roach replied, "A night game in Laramie won't sell out!" ESPN answered with, "We'll guarantee the sell out!"

And the rest is history...
