As of the time of this post, someone's math is way off.😕

"We are expecting a crowd that is at or near our record and maybe even a sellout if we get our typical walk-up," UNT athletic director Wren Baker said.

Cut SMU some slack. Their fan already bought his ticket.

True.... A lot to ask of a guy who has to leave his country club, change out of his golfing attire, and have his driver drop him off at the front gate.

There is no way our typical walk up crowd is as big as the amount of available seats.

The thing is that I doubt WB would make statements like this if he didn't feel conviction in what he said.

I love everything Wren has done.  He's the best AD we have ever had.  I hope he's right and I am wrong.

You all forget that "walk up" includes students. We will be 30,000 plus.

This won't be a typical walk up crowd.  We're going to have a few hundred wrasslin fans in there too.  That being said we probably fall short of 30k.

We are going by the ticket map.  No student sections have available tickets. So the assumption is they will already be full.  Students that walk up don't sit or buy tickets on the press box side/endzone side of the stadium where the available seats are located.  Again, I hope I'm wrong.

I've been told typical walk up is between 1,500-3,000. I think this will be on the high side. So let's say 3,000-3,500. I've heard there's 8,000 tickets in the student sections. What if 10,000 show? Maybe they'd put them in some of those seats? Where are the free student guest tickets going?  Students and upper endzone (as well as lower endzone behind the goalpost) is all GA. I'm starting to wonder if they might not have oversold the cheapest tickets (GA). If you have 3,500 walk ups and they actually have to buy seats, it would be close. I guestimate somewhere between 3,000 and 3,500 actual seats remain. Who knows where they are on GA. I've checked the maps throughout the day. While many seats remain, several sections have large chunks gone from them compared to this morning.

Also, I just realized in addition to uniform watch and debate we now have ticket map watch and debate. What a world.

Love to have a sellout.  Short of a sellout, I want the win.

Walk up is easy 10k including students, easy.

I hope so 

But something seems really off I cant see sections 222-215 being sold out completely.  Section 215 can at times not have a single person in it.  I think the reserved them differently.
