OKC Attendance

[UNTflyer]

3,843

I'd say it was 60% students.

Not bad for an exhibition, Need 6,000 for the opener.

I was there is it hard to believe that many were there. But then again I was in the middle of the student section.

For some reason, people always underestimate our basketball attendance.

I was there. Much better turn out than I expected.

[LakeTravis]

Wish I could of been there but I had work.

I was however able to catch most of the 2nd half on MGN online.

I should be bringing +3 when my family comes in from Austin for Fridays St. Gregory's game.

The two of us will be there Friday night.

GMG!

[michagb]

Agreed! I was very excited about the number of people there. Friday night will be a blast!

They weren't scanning IDs and there was nobody counting heads when we came in. So, how do they come up with that number?

Haha I wanna know the same thing.. they have somebody walk around and count heads? Great crowd though. I know Apogee and McCarney had a lil something to do with it. Glad to see people getting excited about the Mean Green.

Damn little, I think it has way more to do with the success this team has had over the last half dozen years and the excellent recruiting class.

I think five years of 20 win seasons helped a good turn out.

But where did they come up with that number?!?!

[golfingomez]

Rick Villarreal was counting everyone by hand... he started at the top rows and worked his way down

I mentioned several times last evening how proud I was of the student turnout. Should have been even bigger and I think it will be, but for an exhibition...great job students. Where were the regular fans and alums? My section was pretty empty and it usually has a good crowd. Maybe waiting fir the fist game that counts Friday...hope so.

I had estimated the crowd at 1800 - 2500...really can't see how it was 3800, but I'll take it! Let's get 5000+ in there for Friday's game.

This team is going to be deep when Franklin and Mitchell hit the floor. Sure, a tad on the sloppy side last evening...and will be for a few games, but you could just tell this team is going to be good. Jones is the real deal and while I was a tad disappointed in Williams I saw enough to make me believe he will be just fine.

See you Friday at the Super Pit!

i think if we are just guesstimating exhibition contest attendances... we should at least do it big... I mean I don't know about you all, but I saw 15,000 at the game last night

I heard that the game wasn't advertised well on campus.

I imagine a much better turn out for Friday's game. But wasn't that attendance even high for a conference game last year? I don't remember seeing the Super Pit that full for even most conference games. Maybe I'm mis-remembering since I was always distracted by being in the basketball band, and now I'm actually a member of the crowd (though I still sit by the band).

Last night's crowd felt like one of our winter break (non-conference) crowds, size wise. Noise wise, not so with the students there though. I wasn't able to hear myself echo off the other side of the Super Pit at all last night.
