Attendance Prediction Against California

[southsideguy]

24501

[Cerebus]

Over/under on total enrollment this year is 45,000.  

I’m taking the over. 

[UNTLifer]

I don't care for the updated forecast.

28,750  Cloudy is better than the hot sun beating down on you.  It should bring out quite a lot more students.

True.  I overlooked the "cloudy" part.  I should be in the shade anyway, but will welcome the cloud cover.

I’ll guess 24,263 if the heat stays away.  
18,671 if it’s close to 100 degrees.

I took a quick summary of the early postings and came up with an average forecast of 24,348.  There was one prediction of 30,000 and two predictions of 20,000; which was the lowest prediction.  We could have a capacity, or near capacity crowd because Coach Morris spoke to the Freshman Orientation, which was our largest freshman class, and you know that he is a compelling speaker.  He told them that he would see them at the opening game.  I don't think that Littrell ever spoke to the Freshmen.

It’s hard to mumble your way though a freshman orientation

95 and sunny is the current forecast.  I think that drops attendance.

The trick is whether we're counting butts-in-seats or 'paid attendance'

Real attendance 18,600.  Paid attendance 24,800

This sucks for the fans. Not sure what can be done to lessen the impact.

I am driving 10 hours round trip to sit in the sun for a couple of hours. Sorry, prepare properly and go.

The Accuweather forecast has changed to a high of 94 with a 50% chance of rain. 

Nope. We will be at the game. Probably tailgate at home in the A/C. 😉

Where is this forecast from?

[UNTLifer]

Accuweather has updated the forecast to a high of 99 and sunny. Doesn’t matter. Either way, it is going to be hot.

UNT student body seems more than thrilled...

I don't think one post equates to the student body.  Besides, it was probably you and you are just concerned about having to walk across asphalt to get inside the game.

Shame. They're too stupid to understand it has nothing to do with UNT. I guess I expected better from our students.
