No one cares what RJ is thinking as he lives in his own fictional world. A fine place for him, except he claims others don't honor the facts.
UCLA "selling out the Rose Bowl" couldn't be farther from the truth.
The Rose Bowl, where UCLA plays its home games, has a capacity of 92,542, but has hosted more for Super Bowls (103K) and Rose Bowl/BCS playoff games (94K).
UCLA averaged 51,000 for its 7 home games, including 38,391 to close the season. Even under his warped version of "facts" 55% of capacity is not "selling out the Rose Bowl"; it's leaving the Rose Bowl half vacant.
Further, looking at UCLA's past schedules it appears that UCLA has not "sold out" a game at the Rose Bowl for at least the last 10 years. That is more than 60 home games. Is that "selling out" the Rose Bowl?
Here is a quote from UCLA assistant AD from this past Fall:
“It is true that attendance for UCLA football at the Rose Bowl has been declining, a trend not unique to UCLA, as many other colleges are witnessing a similar decline,” Josh Rebholz, UCLA’s senior associate athletic director, said Saturday.
UCLA home attendance in football has been so poor that it has been the subject of media coverage:https://www.latimes.com/sports/ucla/la-sp-ucla-football-20181027-story.html

Also, Pauley Pavilion seats 12,829. They played 19 home games this past year. They sold out one - Notre Dame. They had less 10,000 attend 16 of their 19 home games...
OMG only 51,000...and under 10,000...still nice crowds, but I got the numbers wrong. Unlike Pilch, when I do I admit it not change the subject and refuse to admit it.
