How does attendance look on TV?

[Got5onIt]

How’s attendance looking on TV? From our side it appears Troy traveled better than we did.

Maybe my eyes are bad but the shots I saw looked dreadful.

[H-towngreen]

Haven’t been many crowd shots. Probably for a reason.

[Got5onIt]

I’m certain the early date and graduation killed our attendance.

The early '00's N.O. Bowls were always around this time--and on weeknights--and we always had decent attendance.

True. I went to the last 2 before this one...

We needed some points on that last drive.

It was also the best possible thing for UNT.. NO Bowl was not the best possible bowl for UNT and why people didn’t go among other things..

I highly doubt that's the reason.

It's part of it. Add graduation. Add way to early bowl too.

Yeah, the best of Bowl season is during Christmas week to me. Oh well, this will be fun if NT gets a win....

It looks embarrassing.

Not clear If we had a choice, but if we did, we picked the wrong bowl to go to.    Poor crowd, outplayed by a clearly better team.    Hope the team had fun in the Big Easy.  

[UNTLifer]

It has been stated numerous times that our options were NOLA or New Mexico, both held today. 

[NM Green]

I was in boca now New Orleans.  Tough ways to watch the team walk off the field after two arse whippings.  But wouldn’t change being there.  You never know when magic will happen.  So show up support have fun and take the ups and the downs like a champ.

In my view, a loss to CSU doesn’t hurt us or the conference as much as a loss to Troy.

[UNTLifer]

The kids wanted to go to NOLA.

Going to be a disappointing ending to a pretty good season. Will definitely dampen the mood for a while, but still better than not winning the division and not making a bowl game. Obviously still a lot of improvement needed. 

[NM Green]

Troy is better than co state.  They will be ranked at the end of the year after 11-2.  Better team better year.  

Still fun 2017.

We all knew it would be the case.  That is why I would have preferred the Frisco Bowl.  Sell out crowd and people turned away.  I think looks better than an empty stadium.  We won't be invited back to NO again with the lack of tickets sold.  We must have lost money going to the bowl because of the tickets that we are required to sell.

[MEANGREEN07]

It looks very poor- but there were a lot of obstacles for a good attendance: graduation, a bowl that is debatably beneath us, families still have kids in school through next week (also meaning kids are still heavily envolved in extra curriculars).
