On the flip side, just to play devil's advocate, what if these things happen: It rains on homecoming, its blast-furnace hot in the middle of the afternoon for Rice, and we are finishing off a season with about 3 wins or so when UTEP comes to town after Turkey Day.

If the above scenario occurred, its very possible that are best attended game won't get beyond 17-18k, with that last game not breaking 10k butts in seats.

Jesus, jim. What if a f'ing tornado happens for Rice, an earthquake for UTSA, and the apocalypse for UTSA?

Damn you really are UNT90s twin.

That really just depends on what kind of apocalypse.

if we are 0-1, I predict less than 15K for RICE . Losing to SMU will not set well with fans or students and the Denton crowd does not realize that UNT actually fields a FB team so they are not a factor either way

You are the worst. The worst.

Oh but wait, Greg Johnson (who both owns VERUS and is a sitting City Councilmember) must be confused. Doesn't he know prominent Denton citizens and city officials are supposed to hate all things UNT football??

What is the lowest attendance we can have? 

Is it based on butts in seats (tickets scanned at gate) or tickets sold? 

How many tickets are automatically reserved for students? Total season tickets and game day packages?

I know our numbers last year where higher than actual fans in seats so I am guessing it is tickets sold.

I might be undervaluing that WKU game. If they're as solid as people think they are and we're 4-1/3-2 going into that game it might be the highest attended on second thought. They very well may be ranked when they play us. They will have played Indiana, Vandy and LaTech and they'll be 6-0 (or should be considering their hype). We should be playing a top25 team that night, first one at Apogee? If so, thanks RV?

As I said in the post, I was just playing devil's advocate to the sunshine pumping that was the perfect scenario he listed...

pardon me but how in the hell does a music hyped drone video have ANY relevance toward putting butts in seats from the little"d" community??

You're thinking/arguing superficially. It's deeper than that.

Do we need to guide you through this? What is the video promoting? Who is it being run by? Why is that incredibly good for UNT Athletics?

My thinking exactly.   Unless a cold from comes through right before the Rice game, Homecoming trumps all. 

Those cold fronts are dual edged sword. If one hits during game day you'll likely see at least one flag blown down and 1-2 tents collapse, blown away...

I've lost two tents to the winds of Apogee.  Mangled mayhem.

How many people in little "d" will ever see this much less be inspired by it to attend a game?

Who cares. Your negative demeanor rivals that of 90. Instead of complaining so much do what YOU can to get this program where YOU would like to see it.

Considering the far reach Johnson as well as Glen Farris & co. with him have, I'd say quite a few.

Also, how great is it that when you're proven wrong on "Denton hates UNT football" you immediately turn your attack towards efficacy. Get over it. Denton likes UNT. UNT likes Denton.

It's going to be okay.

overcusser? Nah, not really. My negativity is positive criticism for the better or at least that is my intent. Not to say that yours isn't, but negativity is not permeating through my every. single. post. 

On a related side note, I am not trying to push the negative comments out entirely. This athletic administration needs to hear more criticism until change is put at the forefront.

Like I tried to imply earlier, it's not about the video itself.

This local business doesn't have to tailgate, nor throw their support behind North Texas football. Yet they are.

And they are so freaking excited about it that they flew a drone and made a video about it.

I think the SMU Dallas radiation is starting to poison your mind and attitude. A younger generation like students and recent grads who are all over social media will soak up this video.

It's more about awareness. I'm not going to see a movie, unless I get to see the commercial or trailer first....

My vote was WKU

I believe if they come into this game undefeated (6-0) they could quite possibly be ranked in the top 25.  That could potentially bring people in the stadium that wouldn't normally be attending.  They would have beaten Vanderbilt and Indiana (Top opponents) hopefully that would be enough while piggybacking off of last years finish to land them in the top 25.

I know its a Thursday night but i can push through 1 day of being drowsy at work on Friday if it goes late. 

There seems to be a glitch in the matrix.

      Better, but not great. Rice/Memphis got 407K on a Friday night, so maybe...oh no, now we're up against the Tyson/Paul fight. We can never catch a break, hahahaha, but at least we have our ready-made excuse.

      Minnesota (11/13/24)

      The raised floor at Williams Arena, also known as "the Barn" in Minneapolis, Minnesota, was designed to improve sightlines for fans and create a buffer zone between the court and the fans: Better view: The raised floor allows fans to see more of the action on the court. Buffer zone: The raised floor creates a separation between the fans and the court. Historic feature: The raised floor is one of the few remaining in the United States and contributes to the arena's historic feel. Unique feature: The raised floor makes Williams Arena different from other arenas and memorable for visitors. The raised floor is about two feet above the ground, which means that the first row of seats are below the court and fans are roughly at the players' knee level. Only head coaches are allowed on the court during play, except for officials and players who are actively playing. Williams Arena is one of the oldest basketball arenas in the country, having opened in 1928. The arena is home to the Minnesota Golden Gophers men's basketball team, which competes in the Big Ten Conference. It used to also house indoor football practice, tennis, indoor track, and hockey. The building was remodeled in 1950. Renamed in honor of Dr. Henry L. Williams, U of M football coach from 1900 to 1921, it was divided into a hockey arena on one end and a basketball arena with a seating capacity of 18,025 on the other. From 1950 until 1971, it had the largest capacity of any collegiate basketball arena in the country. More interesting history of "The Barn" are here... https://gophersports.com/sports/2018/5/21/facilities-williams-arena-html

      A real quick check via google can tell you that NT's defense is top 5 in the nation. https://www.ncaa.com/stats/basketball-men/d1/current/team/146 While on google, one could also see that NT's pace-of-play is bottom 10 in the nation. https://www.teamrankings.com/ncaa-basketball/stat/possessions-per-game ERGO... Teams are going to score much less than they normally do against us, and it's going to frustrate the heck out of their fans if they don't know anything about us except that we're "a good mid-major".

      Even though I think we should win this game by two touchdowns, This games got me nervous. Hope our offense will be coming out pissed off from getting shut down offensively last week and lay it on em.
