Attendance

[redallover]

Is the game close to being sold out? Are ticket prices around $27?

As an aside, SMU has a shuttle to the game with dinner for $65.

I intend to walk up and buy a ticket. So far so good regarding get time off (from other responsibilities) to come up for the big game.

I'd guess you can find endzone seating with little or no problem.

Except for Steve Austin, of course, he is getting up there in age but those bionic eyes just do the trick...

From talking to the lady at the ticket office when I bought my tickets, reserved seating is very close to selling out. Endzone (non reserve general admission) is all you will most likely be able to get at the game. I expect the student section to be packed and probably overflow into the general admission areas. This game will set our new attendance record.

And PLEASE! FOR GOD'S SAKE don't make some grand announcement about it.

If anyone with the athletic department is reading this, just announce it like you would any other statistic.

Maybe I can get a scalped ticket? I'm not driving 40 miles to sit in the endzone. Isn't there still a track at Fouts?

[JayDub]

Am I the only one worried that there will be more Pony fans than folks in Green?

This game WILL NOT set our new attendance record. Maybe for Fouts, but our home game attendance record is 45,923 vs Texas A&M. I'm with Silver, just announce the attendance...PERIOD

Yes, there is still a track. Maybe for this game we could rent some bleachers to let additional fans sit there... Hmmm....

Maybe the Coogs still have some bleachers left over from a few years ago when we played the Longhorns.

The game should be a barn burner. Do the Ponies really travel that well? They don't travel nearly as well as TCU. I listened to the BU/TCU game and the Frogs seemed to have as many fans as the Bears.

I would say after much consideration of all the facts as they appear to me that is a probable yes!!!!

Is this schtick?

I invited the most hardcore SMU fan I know to the game... to tailgate with my group to eat and drink like king. You know what he said? He and his wife already have plans for the UT game.

So there you have it. The schools have at least ONE thing in common

In reality, they don't pull in the fans for their home games, I can imagine them travelling better than our home crowd.

Expect maybe 500 SMUt fans. They don't follow their team in Highland Park, they sure won't follow them to Denton.

500 ? Interesting that more travel than actually attend their home games!
