Projected Attendance

How many people will be at Fouts to watch the game?

UNT_playmaker · September 5, 2006

Sell out----attendance 32,000+

Everyone on the planet (except me) will be at the game.

I will be in the hospital.

I have to vote 25000. We need a sell out but we need to encourage all Mean Green fans to be there. SMU does not even draw well at home so we can not depend on them. I would love to see a sea of Mean Green similar to the ocean of orange we saw Saturday. Bring a friend.

I hate to say it but attendance will be hurt by the UT/OSU game!

SMU better not be ahead by more than 14 at half or you will see an exodus!

I really think SMU will come through more than people expect. Their fans look at this as a win plus it's a short drive.

The thing that worries me is last night I opened up my Mean Green Football handbook and the SMU game is $15 instead of $8 for attendance, this will hurt alumni and denton people from wanting to attend the game....

But hey I guess they wont know about it ahead of time, when they approach the gates.....

$15 is still a steal for a DI-A football game. I think many people will show up out of morbid curiosity.

I'm predicting a sell out crowd...

Here is my score prediction:

NT 24

smu 13

I certainly hope that you're wrong about that. The $15.00 is for general admission tickets. My tickets show $25.00 for the SMU game. Personally, I think they should have charged more.

I certainly hope that there are no more alumni who's expectations about ticket prices are still stuck back in the days of $8.00 and $6.00 for reserved seats.

Otherwise, we're going to end up like the Israelites who wandered the desert for 40 years until their disobedient/disbelieving generation had died off.

Time for the ever-present North Texas STATISTIC OF FUTILITY.

TODAY'S ATTENDANCE, WHICH ISN'T EVEN A SELL-OUT, IS THE (#) BIGGEST CROWD IN NORTH TEXAS HISTORY!

Then everyone can have a good laugh at our expense.

Maybe if you put FOUTS FIELD HISTORY they'll understand. Where can you find more than 30,000 who want to come to Fouts?

Our biggest home crowd in history was 45,923 vs. A&M at Texas Stadium in 1997.

How about being professional and just announcing the actual attendance without any commentary.

There are always people who love to remind everyone how awful North Texas was until they arrived, which is fine as long as it's kept within the family, but it's a problem when they feel the need to air it to the neighbors (and the media).

Helwig's people did this at the Baylor game several years ago and made North Texas look ridiculous as our guests started laughing.
