Cal football players trying to get peers to go to Memorial Stadium

Coming off a season that produced some of the sparsest turnouts in Memorial Stadium history, Cal players are taking the task of boosting attendance into their own hands.

After Tuesday’s practice, many of the players trekked down the hill from the stadium to pass out water and schedules and help students move into their dorms — an effort they hope will make them more relatable and ultimately inspire their peers to attend games.
