I'm talking about the: "Every other Saturday I might consider going to UNT, but today I'm definitely going to watch TX/OU." 

So the chances of that group coming goes from about 3% to 0%. Again, it doesn't actually have a significant effect on the number of people at Apogee.

Texas/OU is a cop out since that game is at 2:30, but I understand the thoughts there. 26,263 Bob.

And you think that's more than a couple of hundred people?

Does our attendance only ebb/flow a "couple of hundred people" per week?   If so, we would consistently be at around 19,500 & 20,500, right?

The die-hards are going to show up.   Those are not the fans I'm talking about.

Except that maybe 2% of our 300,000 area alumni.   Or 6,000 people.

3% of 200k = 6000 people!    You sure it's even that high?  We're likely talking 1.5% or less.   That's still a huge number!

The fans you are talking about....don't necessarily show up on other Saturdays either.... I know it ebbs and flows and I know we have die hards and fence sitters....I just don't think it has anything to do with TX/OU

so that 6,000 people shows up on Saturdays TX/OU aren't playing?

 

I think I see your point....my point is I just think the TX/OU has a very small impact on attendance at Apogee stadium. 

I don't see a large subtraction at Apogee becoming an addition to Fair Park

Again....maybe a couple hundred people..

There are a myriad of factors that go into attendance.   The Mean Green must be playing well enough to pique the casual fan's interest.   They haven't been doing that over the past few seasons... but maybe they are now.   

However, unfortunately, there is also a game that those same casual fans have grown up watching on TV every fall.   You may very well be right, and it's only a "couple hundred".  Or, it could be more.

I'm sorry if I made it sound like this is the only reason why our attendance would be lower than it should.  I don't mean it that way...   but this is really the only weekend that I would expect this kind of dent from that type of fan.  So it stands to be mentioned.

They don't HAVE to go to Fair Park.  They can just stay home and watch Texas/OU on TV.  Once they are doing that, they can pretty easily commit  to staying home all day to watch CFB.  I know a couple of alumni who are doing this.

Fair enough....I see what your saying. 

I don't necessarily have data to back up my opinion....just a gut feeling.

I'm stating a conclusion I've drawn solely on my own personal point of view as facts...which is my job as a poster on a fan message board...

So about the TX/OU game. 

I wonder how much that really affects our attendance. Does it really have a big impact? So do people that would normally go to Apogee go buy tickets and go to the TX/OU game? They're fans of TX or OU? They're big college football fans? 

I just don't know how many people that would otherwise be in Denton make it an annual thing to go to that game? 

I mean does that affect what, 200 people maybe ?More than that?

I'm honestly asking because I don't know. Maybe I'm way off but I don't understand why that has such an impact in UNT home games. Are there that many die hard TX or OU fans in Denton? 

Its more that they would probably stay home and watch the game than anything. Even though the game will be over by the time ours starts, by then momentum has them on the couch.

We also should put these attendance figures in context...   
For all of you predicting upward of 23k, that would put this game in the top 5 all-time for Apogee.
 

Correct. We had a huge turnout when we played UTEP, no reason this one can’t be.

Let's see, the game is being televised locally...WTH, why?  And there will be some sort of ticketing, congestion, long line "issue."  Both will cause attendance to be lighter than it could be.  I'm going with 24,002. 

I think it's on ESPN 3 as well.

22,500...

      The Band

      Thats fantastic. They should have their own unique uni's with their school colors. Or at least have some sort of insignia on their NT uniforms. I have written MANY TIMES to the school of music expressing my concerns about the Green Brigade. Daniel Cook actually ask me to watch a practice where they debuted the North Texas fanfare. Something that he either composed himself or had someone in the school of music compose. Daniel (Dr?) Cook inherited a pretty crappy version of the Green Brigade. The most significant change he made was the fanfare. The rest is CRAP. The Band is unwieldy and bloated, and the best word (besides crap) to describe the pre-game show is "perfunctory". They just go through the (musical) motions. At the Army game, as the Band was at mid-field playing the fight song I stood up and did the traditional clapping along with the band, but I kept yelling "TEMPO! TEMPO! GET THE DAMN TEMPO UP! Get to the middle of the field with energy and forgodsakes STOP PLAYING THE "AMERICAN EMBLEM MARCH". That is Junior High stuff. THIS is what a College Band looks like......or is SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE. This is the closest thing to what the North Texas Band used to look like in the 60's-early 70's, under the late, great Maurice McAdow........only the McAdow Bands played better then these guys. But everything else (including the Uniforms) were pretty much the same. So I ask, do they have more talented musicians than us? Do they have more pride than us?
