Spring Game Roll Call, Attendance Prediction

with a new coaching staff, renewed interest, and some positives coming out of spring ball, there may be a decent amount there...and tailgating/beer drinking is allowable!!!

When Dodge first took over, we had 5194 at the spring game. I don't think it will be that high, but if the weather is good, under 4000 would be a major disappointment.

I'll be there with 1 or 2 of my kids. I plan to tailgate. I'll throw out 5K as my attendance prediction.

I'll be there. I don't know what to expect from attendance, but the athletic department certainly isn't doing anything to help the cause. I wouldn't have even realized it's this weekend without GMG.

I'm going to predict major disappointment for you, my friend.

As excited as everyone is about coach Mac, he hasn't really had enough time to make an impact that would be noticeable in a scrimmage so I don't know that there's enough to attract a big crowd. Now, if they were unveiling new uniforms/helmets or something...that would do it.

We'll be there (2). Is it bench seating at the hs stadium? If so will need to bring my chairback.

GMG!

GMG!

Most of the seating is bench. There are pretty nice chairbacks (probably 750-1000) on the west side 50 yard line section.

2,000. After the past few years even with the changes I don't see it getting higher than that...unless you count like SMU.

9 or 10 for us. Plan on getting there early (8amish) to cook some breakfast and drink sone beer

3,200. If it gets decent publicity throughout Denton...3,250. If you count the tailgaters that don't come inside...5,000.

I believe we will have a very good turnout...3,500+...I'll be there. I cannot imagine, there being under 3500 with all the excitement of the stadium and the new coaching staff and all the community work the staff is doing these days. I guess we will all see, but I am very hopeful for a good crowd and think there is ample reason to be hopeful.

GO MEAN GREEN!

So am I, but the pragmatist in me says that we need to start with the basics...where and when.

OK folks! The scrimmage is ONE o'clock THIS SATURDAY. And here is where it is taking place.

I'm in +1

I'll be there with Eaglette.

I expect to see 3,700 of my closest friends.

For those of you that have never been to a game at CH Collins (probably very few if you have lived in Denton for the past 7 years), you will be in for a nice treat. I've always loved the atmosphere this place has to offer and every seat has a great view. I would not have been ashamed if the university had asked for Denton ISD's permission to add 3K seats and start using this place for our games back in 2004. So what if we would have been the only division 1 team to use a high school field (someone should look into that, didn't check my facts - just seemed right)... that place is a monumental improvement over fouts.

I will be in attendance with at least 1, possibly 2 kids in tow.

Total 2800. The start time helps. I would like to see a 1000 more. Playing at CHC helps I would guess as well.

so you convinced her to come out?

I'm in. Anyone else from Houston going? Want to ride together and save gas money? Send me a PM.

most students wont venture to the ac for a scrimmage much less far off disd stadium. dfw alums who attend the alum awards fri night are not likely to return sat. 1000 including parents and reporters.

I am attending the alum awards Friday night and I am attending the spring game as well. I don't think the Alumni Awards Banquet will keep anyone from the spring game...and students never really have attended spring games at Fouts. I really hope you are way off in your prediction...I still think we will see a very nice crowd and some great tailgating for this first green-white game under Coach McCarney. The weather should be PERFECT...so, that should definitely help.
