SMU attendance predictions

Quote

Agree, both teams are 1-0, full of optimism, if weather is good, we get around 25k with close to 10k Mean Greens.

Hopefully, the SMU fans will come out in better numbers and push it closer to 30K...but probably not.

Its their first home game and a late game.  I tend to think that the kids and Alum will have spent the whole day trying to Out-Boulevard each other and will be too drunk to make it in if they haven't already passed out.  

I want better for them, but we'll probably have 8 to 10k in Green there and they'll be lucky to match that 1 for 1 in the stands. I'm sure there's at least another 10k SMU fans in the suites... or so they say.

I say 50/50 and also SMU is having a whiteout so it’ll be interesting to see how that works out.

Isn’t a whiteout for SMU kinda redundant?

If SMU officials could get the tailgaters off “the Boulevard” & into Ford—35,000!?!😆

GMG!

They were so silly to do a white out when that is one of our primary colors. As mentioned everyone needs to wear a lot of green because the overview shot is going to have it be Apogee South Stadium. Had they done a red out it would look like Christmas 3 months early. A blue out would have looked like a giant throwback Dirk jersey from above. So now it will just look right and sound right when we get the North Texas chant rocking!

I’ve walked around he SMU tailgating several times.  If we (and they) are being honest it is incredibly overhyped.

I wasn't able to be at the game last night but will make it to "Apogee South".  Did they advertise telling everyone we need them at SMU this week during the game?  There is no reason for us not to fill half of the stadium.

According to some complaints on PerunaFans.com there has been some shuffling of the Boulevard layout and people haven't taken it well.  Sounds like there's open spots on the Boulevard, which was previously unheard of. 

Also, I think they've moved the Mustang Club people inside the IPF and off the Boulevard.  Pulling a few hundred people off the Boulevard is a good way to suck a bit of life out of your normally raucous party atmosphere.  And I think it puts the Mustang Club group even farther from Ford field than they were.

No, he was referring to all of the SMU fans and the 11,000 people who got tickets through various giveaways

Is the school doing anything to get our students there?

[Salsa_Verde]

They’re having a bus take students to the game.

Maybe it just doesn’t pick up until after the game starts.

We started with a whiteout, Okalhoma’s Started with a whiteout, now SMU...

Is this a ...thing that a bunch of ADs just mutually decided, “yeah!” this year?

I wonder if SMU will be wearing white unis like UNT did.  Not a given as we see OU wearing their home uniforms hosting a white out.  

[Marty]

They’re giving out 5000 Doak Walker bobble heads. Would be funny if all 5000 ended up with NT fans.

[northtexassigep]

Looks like the student tickets are 13 dollars and they’re busing them over again. After acu I have a feeling a lot of people are going to take advantage of that. I’m thinking we get over 50% of the crowd. I got 22 people sitting with me so far in section 121.

[greenjoe]

Wear green.  If NT fans wear their white shirts from Saturday's game, they will look like Sothern Meth fans.  

It should be noted that the Southern Meth White Flag of Surrender will be harder to see if it is sandwiched between both their fans.  Please keep a look out.

I’m still thinking there will be many more of the Mean Green faithful than SMU fans.  The win over A-State won’t be enough to pull their fair to spare fans out of the woodwork to see a game against North Texas.  My spidey sense says the flipped-collar folk have no respect for either of those teams.
