It’s no secret that Stanford football games are not well attended. Screenshots of the stands during broadcasts are often tweeted out in mocking tones, and the routine 7:30 p.m. local time kickoffs don’t help either.
But fear not, Cardinal fans, for the school has found a potential remedy: Free tickets.
Officially, the school’s latest idea to boost attendance is being labeled a “free trial” for fans to try and see if they want to opt in and actually buy tickets for the 2023 season. The promotion will cover Stanford’s final two home games of the season—Nov. 5 against Washington State and Nov. 26 against BYU.
