as long as the season ticket holders get first crack at a Frisco bowl appearance i am ok with it. Is the Frisco bowl televised? SDSU would be handful if we go to the New Mexico Bowl and play them. Rocky Long always has a good team. Why UNM chased him away I will never know.

I believe all bowl games are televised.

NM Bowl means we don't win the West division.
I'd be OK with the HoD Bowl again if we can actually play one of these P5 teams dangit! No more bartering around for us to play the likes of UNLV or Army instead of who we're supposed to actually play.

Lets find the smallest high school available, and try to get NT a game there, were it would assure a sell-out.

I don't understand your point at all, NT should strive to play in a venue that accommodates all fans that want to attend. Hoping to have 20,000 NT fans at Frisco vs 30,000 or more fans at the HOD bowl is questionable.

Most fans can figure out that the relationship between stadium size and perceived attendance. If NT played at Frisco and sold it out, the response would be by the average college football fan; so what it is a tiny stadium.

Great. Let's be a MAC Thursday game. Let's play in an empty crap stadium. Let's agree to disagree. I've been a player at UNT in a small shit empty stadium. 70k empty seats is pathetic. Pack a stadium please! It doesn't happen for us.

Finer point: UNT always looks crappy in empty stadiums.

There’s a big difference between what we are saying - 30-40k in a 40-60k capacity - vs 70k empty seats. And I don’t believe we are anywhere close to those MAC crowds.

now if all you want is one sold out game, okay then. Just know 1) you’re cutting ticket sales by 30+%, and 2) you’re probably not generating enough buzz to offset that potential revenue. Do you believe otherwise? I’m hard pressed to believe this shares the same psychological affect as Apple allocating supply for the latest iPhone release.

we need to keep winning. The numbers and interest are already taking care of themselves.
