As a fan who lives a few hours south of Autzen, adding more hours of driving for a so-called home game doesn't sound great. And, trading an Autzen crowd of 56,000 for 35,000 seats in Seattle? Nice idea for ticking off a bunch of Oregon season ticket holders.
At Autzen, Oregon gets the ticket revenue, the food concessions, the Duck Shop revenue, parking, program sales, etc. etc. And, Eugene hotels and restaurants, not Seattle hotels and restaurants, benefit.
The guarantee would have to be an awfully big number to be willing to tick off many loyal Oregon fans.
