SMU Ticket Sales Update

James329 · September 2, 2015

Hopefully that number doubles when you include walk-up, stubhub, and other online sales.

Just grabbed 2 from EastSide yesterday.

North Texas Shep · September 2, 2015

Pow! We might just out number SMU fans in the stands.

UNTcrazy727 · September 2, 2015

Based on this info, 7000 Mean Green fans seems very likely.

southsideguy · September 2, 2015

using the smut formula it will be all pony guys and gals and the mean green brings seven.

Harry · September 3, 2015

7000 fans would be amazing. Should be an awesome game day environment.

Christopher Walker · September 3, 2015

7 still feels low to me, but I guess, realism...

look at it this way... When is the last time we had an opponent bring 7k fans to Apogee? Houston? Or has that even happened? I would love to know the average number of opposing team fans we have averaged and the biggest visitor section we have had since opening the stadium. 7k opposing fans could get us to 30k in the right conditions.

That's what makes our series with SMU so potentially advantageous for both schools...real fan turnout.

The smut fans will realize we are to be taken serious when a sea of green overtakes their stadium. Another reason as to why this is a must win for the good guys. My bet is that some freshmen students will be making this trip as well as casuals from the metroplex. We have to win to keep their interest. It's a must win game. I can't emphasize it enough.

James329 · September 3, 2015

That would be amazing.

Matt from A700 · September 3, 2015

I will take a third+ of the stadium in green.

I hope this last season @ Apogee wasn't a representation of SMU's "real" fan turnout. Does anyone know how many of their fans traveled to Fort Worth the last time their rivalry game with TCU was played @ Amon Carter?

Our largest turnout ever at Fouts in it's original capacity of 20.5K was the 1990 SMU game, when it was SRO at over 22K (not bad for an underfunded 1-'AA school). I don't remember hearing how many fans SMU brought to that game.

The largest number of NT fans I've ever seen travel to a game was the 1988 Texas game, when we supposedly took 10K down there. Once again, not bad for an underfunded 1-AA school.

The second largest was our recent game @ Houston. I don't know what the official count was, but it looked like somewhere between 5 & 10K. Something that I doubt Houston will never see repeated by any of their current conference mates.

Does anyone think that 4 to 5000 is a large crowd to travel all the way to Dallas, or am I just way off base?

Keep in mind that many of those 4 to 5k are in Dallas, or nearby suburbs, so it's likely closer for many of them to attend in University Park than in Denton.

wizade · September 3, 2015

I'd guess that there are more DFW Alum that live closer to SMU's stadium than Apogee way up in Denton. We live in East Plano, so this game is a ton easier to get to for us .. looking forward to it.

Silver, I attended that game against Texas and I say that 10K number is very accurate. I was across the field so I had a good view of the Mean Green faithful, not to mention those scattered throughout the stadium like I was.

Sincere question: If it is easier for alumni to get to the SMU game, would we be able to attract better home opponents if we move our home games to Ford?

LOL! I live in Carrollton and that puts me about the same distance to either stadium however it is "easier" to get to SMU's stadium.

635 done yet? I drove EB635 about a month ago on a Saturday and it was awesome. WB was bumper-to-bumper though. Looked like they were putting finishing touches on it.

But, it isn't easier to find a place to park once you get there.

That's why my group is taking DART.

35E is just a huge nightmare right now. They are closing various lanes all along 35E at night and it just messes things up. I'll be taking 380 all season long from the DNT.

Ford Stadium holds 32,000 so I think with all the students, band, cheer team, and Alumni, I bet we pack in half that so I bet we get close to 10-12. Im an optimist though so I tend to get let down a lot around here.
