The game against Oregon and all of the hoopla that surrounds it reminds me of Washington State’s last two Rose Bowl appearances in 1998 and 2003. With ESPN’s College GameDay showing up for the first time in Pullman, it seems like every Coug HAS to be there. And I guess it doesn’t “seem” like it, it’s a reality based on ticket prices at Martin Stadium.
Tickets in the east end zone are going for upwards of $240, and I’ve seen tickets at the 50-yard line for more than $1,000. I don’t ever recall tickets going for this much at Martin Stadium, even for Apple Cups.
