Checking the “Sold Seats” sections of Apogee it appears SMU fans are buying seats en mass.

[PlummMeanGreen]

When a section says “none” I tend to take these charts at their word that all tickets in said sections have been sold.  
 Click…”purchase by seat.”

Apparently, Pony fans are having smooth sailing with the UNT Tickets staff.  Here’s a few responses from Mustang fans.

 Credit where credit is due.  SMU fans are great at this.

[GrandGreen]

I hope SMU does bring a lot of fans for a change.   I have never seen more than a few hundred make that periouslous long trip to Denton.

I don't expect that to change.  The ones in the Park Cities area rarely leave their zip code!

[UNTLifer]

Last time they played in Denton there was a SMU fan seated in front of me. He was on his phone the entire time giving play by play. I asked what he was doing and he said he was paid by a Park Cities alum of SMU to come to the game and provide the alum with feedback. Had to do it for all road games. I asked if he was paid and he said he received a small salary for this service and burying the occasional hooker.

Guys we need to buy up seats NOW so that we don’t get outnumbered by SMU fans.  
 

They might bring tens and tens of fans to Apogee

[southsideguy]

I don't mind them sitting on our side except for one dude.  SMUT fan sat in front of me and there were kids all around us.  Well this jerk catches a t-shirt, had to reach for it,  and instead of giving to one of the surrounding kids the guy throws it back on the sidelines. I boo'd him and got a few other to do it.   He left at half time.  I mean he did not have a bit of kindness in him to give the t-shirt to one of the kids.

time for this board's daily $mut thread.  😑

Some of y’all are legitimately obsessed. Who cares? A good crowd for a rivalry game benefits everyone.

How long you been on this forum, texx2818?🙂There’s really no pleasing anyone (except for tailgating which pleases many).  It’s your usual Texas public university-educated crowd. 
🖍🖌If SMU brings 2 or 3,000 fans there will be bitchin’ or if they bring 300 there will be bitchin’.  It’s a tough crowd. Seinfeld would never do well with this audience.

Why is anyone surprised? Our fan base is split in half because of our coaching staff and the way last season ended while SMU is hoping to keep the train rolling after their solid season last year and familiar coach taking over. Expect lower attendance numbers the rest of this season

[Pavlovs Eagle]

They seem surprised the visitors side is in the sun. 🤔. Clearly they don't go to many away games.

 

[ttunt1970]

At least they maybe bringing more than the 300-500 they usually take to Denton or any away game for that matter. Our tickets when we go there are in the SUN!! 

[southsideguy]

Gee do we have a marketing program for the first home game?  Kinda like UTEP has done before the season has even begun?   Sell the tickets before our first home game.   We lose to UTEP and we will have a hard time getting people to the game.  The average person does not see UTEP as improved.

I hear they are going to reserve their budget to make a big splash the week before the SMU game. They are hoping UNT wins that game on the road because they think a lot of fans will get their interest rekindled.

Yes, we have one. I think it  is called  Make Believe Marketing.

Don't count on it, blue hair girls with vapes is a lot for SMU alumni to stomach.  I struggle to go to the game and I'm desensitized from being local.

I prefer the side shave with pink streaks on the pony tail and 50 pounds over weight talking, "I don't need a man." As if. 

[NorthTexan95]

When it says "None Available" it doesn't necessarily mean its sold out.  A huge chunk of those sections are for students and the band.  Others sections may be unavailable until SMU releases unsold tickets.  I bet they won't bring much more than they brought last time.

Last time SMU came to Denton, I saw quite a few of their fans scattered around in the north endzone.

So I guess you’re saying you were no fan of Cindi Lauper, too?🧑🏻‍🎤 

I still say SMU has their largest contingency of fans at Apogee Stadium in recent memory (if not ever).  By the way, the UNT maintenance staff will be spraying for middle class cooties 72 hours before Game Day.

Yet Here’s Why SMU Fans Show:   
It’s still their season opening game. They going to be just too cool to not show up for that, too, or…….could it possibly be the Mean Green “Running backs by committee” will lay 300+ yards on their “D” making the game closer than it was for those 3 quarters last season? 
So for sure—don’t show!  Yall will show all those new Mustang portal transfers$ just how serious y’all really are about your college football on the Hilltop, right)?

I understand. It's a big culture shock when they're used to seeing frat guys doing lines of coke off the tops of toilets.
