A beautiful sight on the Mean Green side.

 

 

The entire stadium is the Mean Green side.

If we can sell the rest of Miami's ticket is there a Miami side?

 

I think it would be pretty damn impressive for both sides to do the North Texas chant loudly! That is, one side yelling North and the other side yelling Texas.

Yes that would be fantastic!

I am a UNT fan and if we can say at the end of first stanza, I can say UNT side instead of section.  It is what we do.😆

Oh, I wasn't disagreeing with your choice of words, just that I don't think Miami will bring enough fans to have "a side" but only a "section".  We shall see, but I expect to hear a North Texas chant rattling the rafters at the end of each stanza.

I say "stanza" with a bit of trepidation.  I now wait for some soccer fan to talk about our "kits" and the condition of the "pitch".

I wonder if Miami has a cross-stadium chant like, "MI....AMI" or, would it be "MIAMI...OF OHIO" ?

They love being called Miami-Ohio, so probably the latter.

NOT   ... THAT MIAMI

A BUNCH of tickets just got released in the middle of the main North Texas allotment including most of section 128.  This is not even going to get close to a sell out (I hope I'm wrong).

[southsideguy]

Who ever is responsible for selling the tickets has done a piss poor job.  It was a short notice for a bowl game all tickets should have been available from the beginning.   I put this on the promoters of the bowl game......bad job guys!

It really makes one wonder how many tickets UNT received and location of those tickets.

The answer appears to be not that many. 

[southsideguy]

They did it this way so they could (as best they could) evenly spread out the people that the KNEW were going to buy tickets. And then fill in from there with others. At no point was it showing as a sell out so it’s not like anyone that wanted tickets wouldn’t have been able to get them. If we are looking for someone to blame for why there are still so many tickets left I think a mirror would be helpful.

First one was New Years Day and second was during the week between Christmas and New Years.  
New Years Day obviously most are not working

week between a lot of people already have off, this making that extend an extra day before Christmas this year, is what is proving to be difficult for some. 

And we had somewhere between 5-8 more days for both of those. This is the latest invite and earliest game of the 3 examples. 

If this game were on the Mon-Tues after Christmas, I think the timing and the extra days would both help a lot, regardless of the daytime slot.
 

But the day game, on a bad day, with short notice, isn’t gonna sell out, and it shouldn’t surprise anyone.

Is short notice really that big of an issue when the game is closer to most people than a game in Denton?

Yes. 5 to 8 days makes a lot of difference for people to make or alter plans and buy tickets. Do you think more time WOULDN’T result in more ticket sales?

I’m just explaining how the timing of this game is different from our previous local bowl games (not counting opponents) and why I don’t believe it was ever going to sell out. If we do sell it out, I’ll be super jazzed that I was wrong.

I don’t believe the timing is a material factor when there is no travel involved. 2.5 vs. 3.5 weeks lead time is just not relevant in most circumstances. I do agree the time of the game itself is less than ideal, but we have what? 40,000 students and 300,000 alumni within a 1-hour drive of the stadium. We need just over 5% of them to show up to fill the stadium. 5%. There aren’t legitimate excuses for that.

The attendance we saw at the Dickies Arena basketball game might be good indication of the attendance battle we face across alls ports, even with the opportunity of something local.
