Now that is a crowd, thankfully l was there.  If you can fill Super Pit or get close, it is one hell of an atmosphere. The problem is not the team or the building, it is…

[MeanGreen22]

Still the best crowd I’ve ever been a part of for an UNT basketball game. I can’t remember the whole crowd but the student section was standing the entire game.

One more video…

GMG!  

Prediction:  Some of us on GMG were at the UNT•SMU game when 10,500 butts in seats showed.  (I believe the Dallas Morning News actually said “10,700” in their boxscore).  Anyhow, the Super Pit was rockin’ that night & the ol’ Lady  will again this coming season when the ‘Stangs play us this Fall. (I remember an SMU 🔻🔷🔻fraternity were sitting in the aisles where their tickets were located.  I believe the Denton Fire Marshall (friend Bob Hagemon) also did them a favor by turning his head to allow it. 

GMG!

Well I was at the SMU and I had to sit in the aisle high up in the SP, what a game!

Oklahoma State in 07-08 was a pretty electric crowd too .

I remember some saying the crowd we had against San Francisco in the CBI Final was as good as we'd ever had enthusiasm wise.  Especially because it was at least 90% our people and OSU and TTU brought a lot of their own fans.

I remember quite a few great crowds during the Blakeley years.

Also we had 8000+ just a couple of years ago at a game to clinch the regular season title, right?  I'm sure that was a lit crowd too.

Can you imagine the crowd reaction to Mac if he ever brings Tech here? Lordy!

The La Tech game when we clinched the regular season title in 21/22 season. That was a great crowd as well.

Mac will never lol he knows it would be a no win game for him. 

[TIgreen01]

Most of these crowds capped between 7-8k.  I’d set capacity for the new arena based on that.  7k, with suites at the top.

He physically couldn’t, him and Ross were really close. 
But if they ever did, that’s a sellout for sure. I can’t see less than 8K

In his first year, my father went to some games like when they hosted Baylor and TCU, said it was an unbelievable environment and all games should be close to that. And that was 1976!!

It was the La Tech game  & one of the most satisfying times many of us had in the Super Pit since it opened in 1972.  
Here was one of the celebrity fans at that game (along with Mrs. Travis).  The TV broadcasters had fun with this moment.

TP's shot at 1:13 I think is the loudest I've heard The Pit in my short lifetime. I wish I could find a replay of what it sounded like on the broadcast.

ELITE student section that night. There are times when they get a good turnout but they’re mostly sitting. The kids got after La Tech all. game. long.

Really enjoyed those times.

Attending that game is what led Jordan Williams to commit to NT.
