HOD Attendance Prediction

[FirefightnRick]

1 dollar!

LOL!... Underrated.

Prediction... Less than 25K.

[Runner]

92,001

92,001

And runner is going to be the "001" that takes us over the top!

At my age you tend to repeat, I say repeat, I do say repeat yourself (insert pic of Yosemite Sam)......

......but if Big D would have only copied Fort Worth for what they do with their bowl game annually as a city wide civic project we would be more than happy with the turnstile count on New Years Day; who knows, we still may be. Rice played at Fort Worth last year. Anyone really think the Owls had that many traveling fans to hit over 40K? Advantage > > > >Fort Worth & TCU who made that happen weeks before that game took place.

40,000 bowl fans at Amon Carter Stadium is pert near a sellout in that football venue.

35,600 screaming UNT fans and 250 UNLV fans in a 35-17 UNT

victory.

Latest NYD forecast has a 30% chance of rain. That would really negatively affect turnout.

25K ( +- 2K )

[PlummMeanGreen]

Had we sold the same number of football season tickets Old Dominion & UTSA sold this Fall we would have begun HOD Bowl ticket sales with a head start, ie, a pretty large base of fans along with their season tickets buyer' options for tickets to the historic Cotton Bowl stadium.

There are really many reasons a school at the NCAA FBS level needs to have a large base of such sales with that campaign which should really begin every Spring and into the Summer. UTSA is already selling their 2014 season tickets now with a nice website promo poster. If we by gosh need that school in the Alamo City to shame us into doing what we should have been doing the last 10 to 15 years then so be it. We talking 3 years of football history versus 100, folks. What is wrong with that Y^%%^*POW!^$R@#^$.............picture?

Congrats To Coach DMac & the Mean Green! Yall have done your part!

GMG!

Yeah, I just saw that, although it appears to be later in the day. Should be fine. Turnout could be really poor if rain hits, would be incredibly embarrassing. We can't catch a break. If weather hits then I'm lowering actual attendance under 20K. Ugh!

I'll be flabbergasted if we get that big old stadium 1/4 full at 11am New Year's Day with this opponent.

Thanks for your in depth analysis, genius.

You get a +1.

For anyone looking to move away from a somewhat stale attendance debate, there is a UNLV team thread available for your perusal:

UNLV is the team we are playing in the bowl game if you didn't know ;-)

Two more because my wife and I can now go. Can't wait.

Prepare to be flabbergasted!

82,431 give or take 50k.

30,850... as Apogee looks over at us, feeling like the other woman...

Isn't she the one that's flashing her tail at everyone on I35?

[meangreener]

I'm thinking more in the 40 range, solidly. With ULL and UNC's attendance, no reason we can't compete.

Lot of buzz and high sales. Will be all the more disappointing when we end up drawing 20K again at home.

[NT03]

I've changed my prediction to 32,918

[UNT90]

28k, including 10 very confused FedEx drivers.

EDIT: announced as 36K.

[PlummMeanGreen]

North Texas...............28,000

HOD local sales.........10,000

UNLV.......................... 2,000

Total..........................40,000

I'd be content with 40k. That about fills the entire lower bowl and with a bowl of this magnitude or lack there of that is impressive. It'd be real nice to get up there around 60k. 60k would turn heads for future bowl alignments.

[scrappyman1]

I don't think 50,000 is out of question and quite possible

and might help a few recruits decide to comit to UNT
