Looks like less than 5k actual attendance. I am not

counting players, vendors, etc which usual "attendance" does in a lot of cases. Has to be the least actual attendance in at least 80 years...other than covid year

My HS games had more butts in seats

It's sad. This is a good team. They deserve more support. They've earned as much support as any team in the p12 except Utah and Oregon. (Those teams have earned more recently.)

Make the tickets cheaper

Most of the money is in TV, not ticket sales. I think.

It's a long, lopsided game that takes all day to attend. I should be cheap as hell. Free, even.

The players played in the same heat that fans had to sit thru.

I can understand some fans not attending for health/age reasons. The student body, alumni, “fans”, faculty not showing. Sad.

One of the saddest UCLA football moments of my lifetime seeing the empty seats yesterday.

Since the pandemic life has gone remote

Everything is done remotely these days. Why not football? I personally never attend football games at the Rose Bowl. I think the stadium is way too far and I don’t like burning in the sun. Watching at home on TV is far more comfortable and saves money. UCLA needs to seriously decide whether they want to continue playing at the Rose Bowl. Perhaps it’s time to adopt my plan for the UCLA-Coliseum subway rail and move our home games back to the Coliseum. In time, we could reach a deal with USC to completely rebuild the Coliseum into a state of the art college football stadium.
