Attendance

Great showing on the student side.  Stayed the whole game!

This was one of the more engaged crowds I've seen in a long time.

[Ryan Munthe]

The students were into the game and stayed the whole damn thing. Huge turnout.

Bravo, my criticism was clearly misplaced.

Let’s hope they do something big to get everyone back.. Have a feeling Army may bring the largest number of fans any visitor has this year.

Rumor is something similar should happen, get to your sits early and be loud

They will definitely do something. Being retired Army, I will be slightly conflicted. It's hard to root against young men who will soon be leading Soldiers and putting their life on the line for this country, but I am Mean Green all day. So, I won't say I am cheering against them, I will just be cheering for Mean Green more.

I wonder if the 4:00 start played a role in that. That was still late enough to get some real tailgating done and early enough to make the parties afterward.

My exact thoughts! I loved the 4:00 start. It for sure helped with ppl staying for the whole game. 

What keeps us from doing more 4:00 starts in the future?

Real TV?

[Mad Hatter]

Loved 4pm start!  Still got home (Fort Worth) at a decent hour, and had time for some solid tailgating.  

Every game should start at 4.

Hank said third largest crowd at apogee

I'd make sure you let Baker know this.  I'm sure they'll figure out this out but it never hurts to reinforce it. 

[Matt from A700]

Definitely the largest crowd all year but not 26,000. Surprised the students continued to stand and stayed until the end despite the blowout.

It’s hot as hell for the first 2 games usually.

Did you attend West Point? If not there shouldn't be any confliction.

This is kinda silly. When they're on the field, they're a football team. Cheering against them in that respect in no way says anything about your support for the armed forces.

next weekend against Army should be an even bigger crowd, a 7-3 UNT team vs an 8-2 Army team. 

Kickoff at 5:30 and it's supposed to be in the upper 60s as a high, with clear skies...

 

it's tough to ask for more than that.

Sorry but Active Duty and Veterans  personal still support West Point because it’s a very small number of people who have worn that uniform at any time and it’s their branch of service. I’m pulling for UNT, but if Army wins I’m happy too. #BeatNavy

When we played USNA, I never once felt conflicted. I wanted to see UNT beat the stuffing out of Shipwreck Tech.

Well good for you then!

It’s simply silly to read what you said. Maybe the Army is weird about West Point- still don’t understand your ties to West Point when you didn’t go to West Point.

Supporting your branch = weird.. makes sense
