Not a lot of information in this article for many of the schools.  Oregon had a huge crowd, but perhaps the most incredible stat is Colorado.

 

That is completely the Prime effect, but what the heck, if it brings the Pac-12 more national attention, I'll take it.

The Ducks had an estimated 45,000 fans in attendance at the spring game. How did that compare to...

 

 

 

Oregon posted some good numbers and we don't have a flashy headline making new coach. 

 

So let's see how the season goes and how next year's spring game goes. I think we beat Colorado next year.

A lot of the "not reported" teams have empty stands normally, except Utah.  We're the only team in the west that approaches SEC type numbers.  Colorado this year...clearly a neon effect.

CU not only opened the wallet for Coach Prime, but it also relaxed what credits would be acceptable for players transferring to CU.

 

Positive or negative people are once again talking about CU football.

 

CU sold out its spring game at $10 a ticket and has sold out its 2023 season tickets. Last season CU had an average attendance of 17,200. CU is already seeing a positive Prime Time ROI. 

 

He doesn't come with controversy but it is so good to see a school stepping up after 20 years in the doldrums.

 

And CU's 1st conference game in 2023 is at Oregon. The Ducks will be double-digit favorites and best defeat CU.

 

I think Deion will turn CU around but it will be tough in 2023 with the nation's 3rd most difficult SOS. CU's opening game is at TCU and CU also has Nebraska coming to Boulder for an out-of-conference game.

Many would say that $10 a ticket is a giveaway. Yet those who attended to an Oregon spring game had an admission of only three cans of sliced green beans!
 

The Colorado PR people did a fantastic job of creating interest, and creating some revenue.

 

Kudos to them!

 

Now, let’s Butt-Kick the Buffaloes!
