Good for La La.

Notice how many parking spaces are still available despite what appears to be a sell out.

I hope we can do as well saturday.

Nice crowd; and they had never played before?? Also, notice their Indoor practice facility in the upper right of the photo; I think it's only a year old. NT needs one of those after our stadium is complete!!

BTW, they host K-State this weekend so expect another huge crowd for them.

K-State can't we get them to come to Denton?

I would guess most of those spots held tents and grills prior to kickoff.

I would guess they are empty so the RVs and buses on the next row can get out.

Talking to someone at the game, they said that they would predict it was 60-40 Southern fans to Louisiana Fans

That would be a good opener for the new Mean Green Stadium in 09/2011

Speaking of stadiums. Here is an article in the DMN about historical stadiums/sports venues in the D/FW area. Fouts is mentioned.

Fouts Field (1951-present): The 30,000-seat home to the University of North Texas, built in 1951, is on its last legs.

How flattering.

Have to give Southern fans their due. Probably had 18-20K there (out of 41,3xx total). Many fans turned away at the gates too (from both schools)! KSU won't be nearly as well attended; but with decent weather should draw around 25K. While it may look like ample parking remained, it didn't. Folks were parking quite a way from the stadium! But the biggest plus is we didn't blow this game like we did a couple years ago against McNeese!

Also, congrats on your opening day win!
