How does Washington usually fare for their games?

It is certainly a figure I will be curious about.

Yeah, I know that we always are tops in the Pac-12 but I've never looked to see what they pull each year. If I was a Husky fan(barf) I'd love the opportunity to hang out by the lake and tailgate one extra time each year and it's an easy trip across town for the majority of their fans.

This excerpt from a recap of the Purple Poodle 2018 spring "preview" puts the attendance at about 1,000.

Between 1961 and 1976, the spring game found the Huskies taking on former Huskies. The idea of dozens of retired guys gathering for maybe one practice before taking the field against college athletes in their prime sounds crazy today — it was crazy then — but the “alumni game” was a staple of the April sports calendar in Seattle, drawing as many as 30,000 fans to Husky Stadium.

About 29,000 fewer fans were on hand Saturday for an event as low key as the head coach who designed it. Paranoid might be an overstated way of describing Chris Petersen’s fear of, well, just about anything related to the publicizing of his football team, but it’s in the discussion.

That's a pretty well, thought out excuse for their low spring game attendance. Hahaha. Sounds like something a poodle would say.

Barring some high turnout in Boulder and Seattle, it looks like Oregon will have outdrawn all the other schools combined by nearly 15K.
