The fact that only 8 months after appearing in the Rose Bowl, the attendance at the home opener against a Big Ten team was only 31,000 leads me to believe there is no need for expansion. Even with an enlarged stadium, teams like Nebraska, Penn State, Michigan etc. will not come to Pullman because they don't have to. They don't need the money and don't need the exposure. I bet we only sell out one. Doesn't make any sense.
Cougars step up marketing Looks like the issue of stadium expansion has cropped up again.
I wish that I could be at every game to help fill Martin Stadium but, as it is every year, the majority of the games I will see will be in California and Arizona. With regards to expanding the stadium, I would love to see it happen. I would love to see big name opponents playing in Pullman. But, only if it will make financial sense to do so. An expanded stadium will not garantee that the Nebraskas of the country will come to Pullman unless that stadium is filling up.
