19K.  The fact that it's Labor Day weekend could hurt attendance some as well.

23,000

Ticketmaster grid looks like under 1000 left on alumni side plus maybe 1000 in lower end zone. Need strong showing in wing and student section.

Is the SMU band making the trip?

Update: SMU blog saying visitor section 124 is sold out, band is in 125, some buying in section 114, and some looking for tickets. Looks like SMU is showing up - or at least spending the money.

Ticketmaster has never been a good indication of tickets sold. They only place a small amount of available tickets for sale online.

Nice. If NT would win we would be at 28 to 30K every home game.

And the winner is....bstnsportsfan3 who guessed 24,675, a difference of 43.

Edit:  Upon further review it was a tie.  RBP79 guessed the same figure.

Not bad coming off of a one win season. Now where are "those" people on this board that back in the spring said there wouldn't be 13k there...somebody dig those quotes up.

We'll be to 13k within a few games :-(

Is that second largest crowd for a UNT game at Apogee, after the opener against Houston five years ago?

 

[THOR]

Third largest

[Matt from A700]

Very pleased with the crowd for the first game after a 1-11 season. Unfortunately, it will probably be the largest crowd all season. Even from the start the students didn't seem to be as pumped as normal and started getting quiet quickly. We have got to stop getting ourselves in 17-0, 21-0, 24-0 holes. Hopefully we can maintain a 20k crowd into next week but with the loss that will be tough.

There's no way 20k will be there for Butt Cookman. 

[Silent Eagle]

I figure appx 15k will be there.  Unless we blew the doors off of SMU, it would have dropped anyway.  Maybe about 20k, but still lower.

Additional thoughts...

[NT91]

18k at best for next week.
