Rice Game Attendance

GreenTexan13 · October 23, 2018

Last Saturday against UAB was not what we all wanted.. But time to looking forward to rice and good ol' Homecoming. Traditionally Homecoming is the better attended home game. With the weather looking nice, homecoming, and a 6-2 record.. Will we break another attendance record? Perhaps our first sellout?

It’s hard for me to gauge and/or predict because I’m not the fair weather, you know? I just saw a Rice Ticket promo, so maybe that will help get the word out. Any news on special events for this game? Besides the typical homecoming festivities.

I'll be there with 8 other people coming from Amarillo. It's been a while, I'm looking forward to it. Also, my almost 5 year old is pumped for his first UNT game so hopefully the crowd is large and the atmosphere is exciting.

We know who we have lost to and know/care about how that affects us in the CUSA standings.

10 members of my family (pretty representative of the detached Denton crowd) are coming and this is what they have had to say.

“North Texas looks pretty good for a change. Didn’t you guys win a lot of games last season too?”

We will have a very good crowd this Saturday...on par with SMU and La Tech. JMO

Old SWC teams always draw well in Denton. This one will be no exception...

SMU numbers: 328,991.

This is my fourth year of UNT football and I have never seen the hype that I've seen this year going into homecoming. Sure the loss to UAB will have an effect on attendance but I do not doubt one bit that we won't see a near sellout crowd.

I hate to admit it (old age) but I have been a UNT/NTSU fan for over 42 years now. I have seen more hype but it was a long............. time ago, Hayden Fry and the SW Conference days. We had good teams then as well and we could rock Fouts or Texas Stadium. Apogee is sweet and it is Homecoming should be football weather and we have a Great Team. I believe will have over 25,000. It has been a strange year. If you told me we would pound smu and arkansas and lose to latec and uab I would have called you a liar, well here we are!

BEAT RICE!!!

GO MEAN GREEN!!!!!!!

Well,......it’s not gonna rain, so do we now need to get a feel on how attendance is gonna go before we ask mommy if we can go or not?

Who gives a damn?!!!!

MAKE SURE YOU ARE THERE ......and don’t worry about anyone else!

Homecoming should be an automatic sellout with all the on campus kids. But it's easy to tailgate too hard and not make it in the door. Been there done that.

Shots of Jim Beam with a prune juice chaser are pretty good I hear.

I thought it was Wheat Grass shots?

That's a bold move. Make sure to bring an extra pair of boxers

Well it did rain on Wednesday so that will keep some fans away, 25.783.

Make sure everyone knows it will be low '70's and sunny.

I get off work at 6am, and I'll haul ass down to Denton. Hope to have a couple of hours of tailgating.

UNT 90 Grad · October 25, 2018

I’ve got a campout this weekend with several other families. Won’t slow me down. I’ll be leaving the campsite temporarily to go to the game and bringing some of the other families with me to experience UNT football for their first time!
