Longhorns Could Receive Bonus Payment

[UNTflyer]

Could the University of Texas regular-season men’s basketball game against reigning NCAA champ North Carolina on Dec. 19 at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington draw 75,000 fans?

No one is making predictions yet, but the agreement for the game gives the Longhorns a $75,000 bonus if they reach that milestone.

Tickets are priced at $30, $50, $75, $200, $250 and $500, a Texas basketball spokesman announced Monday. They go on sale to the general public beginning Saturday through Ticketmaster (www.ticketmaster.com).

The largest crowd ever to see a Longhorns’ basketball game was 54,432 in the 2003 NCAA semifinals against Syracuse at the Superdome in New Orleans, according to the team’s online media guide.

The largest crowd ever for a college basketball game was 78,129 in 2003 for a regular season game between Kentucky and Michigan State at Ford Field in Detroit.

I can't imagine a worse place to watch a basketball game.
