UTEP closing in on sell out for UNT

[Coach Andy Mac]

 

[southsideguy]

the sun bowl will be rockin, will we be ready?  Need to get the crowd out of the game early, send them home by half time....lol

If you are at 80% capacity in a venue that holds over 46K, I wouldn't say you are nearing sell out but that's just me.

Let's see at game time how many show up.

UTEP historically get a good size walk-up crowd. Also not sure how they are accounting for student tickets

Also, if we are being honest with ourselves, we would be ECSTATIC if we were 30 days out from our home opener and had 10,000 tickets left unspoken for given our recent past...and UTEP has about the same level of success in the past several years.

No tv for this game?

They’ve been “closing in” on a sell out for a month. 30k tickets sold is impressive. 

[greenjoe]

Let’s see if tickets sold equates to butts on the 2x12s.  

[DeepGreen]

Just win.

UTEP, El Paso and the itch for football season....why not a sell out?

I agree, this is like saying there are less than 6,000 seats left available for our first home game. Not quite a sellout. Keep working.

we have not sold out our 10 yr old stadium once, much less get 80+ % filled yet we are slamming UTEP for going balls to wall and being successful to have 40k+ in the stands and seeking a sellout

LOL!!!

I wish we had this much hype for our home opener. There has to  be a way to spin this, isn't there?

We’ve surpassed 80% 9 times already. 7 of those 9 were with Littrell as coach.

It seems to me that we had several very close to selling out in the past few years.  The Army game comes to mind as well as UTEP and UTSA.  I am sure there are others.  Win and they will come even under Littrell.

LaTech stands out in my mind as the most well attended game. 

[vpackrats]

Looks over 80% full to me 😎  (La Tech game in 2018)

It's sad you can count the number of times we were at 80% of capacity. It's also sad that we have never had a sellout. Perhaps instead of us posters pimping UTEP perhaps our athletic department might ask them how they have done it.

[southsideguy]

our tickets would be higher 940.  make it harder to sell out😏

UTEP hasn’t done it since 2016 and that was against Army. Before that it was 2012 against OU. Don’t be under the impression that this is common for them.

If we beat UTEP there will be a lot of hype for the SMU game. I’d guess attendance would be around 25K. If we lose…maybe only 22K.
