My 3rd annual family (and a few friends) BBQ has 79. A few can't make the game but I bought 52 tickets. In addition to our normal crew of 14 and a few comps a Letterman got for his crew, we will have

Actual 10,500 with 4,000 students in attendance and another 3,000 drunk on the hill staying out of the stadium watching A$M vs AL. Announced 19,000

My bride and I will be there...get your rear end there as well. Let's take care of the number of attendees each of us can. If we all do tat, and should the students turn out...attendance will take care of itself.

BTW, at the Coach Mac Show Monday Hank said this game will see several yellow school buses full of middle school kids. Might help attendance numbers.

I say 15k.

We haven't done great with midday games and we line up against the biggest hyped game of the year in the bama vs tamu rematch.

It's pathetic we are still at a point where we have to worry about not getting high attendance numbers because of another college football game. It's probably true to some extent, but it's also pathetic we don't have a more loyal following. I know winning cures all (supposedly), but to me it's hard to understand why you wouldn't want to watch YOUR university and/or Alma Mater play live for some other schools' game on TV.

Don't give a rat's rear end about Bama-A&M game! It isn't at Apogee and the Mean Green aren't playing in College Station. Anyone who even remotely considers himself or herself a Mean Green fan and stays away in order to watch Alabama-A&M on TV and who doesn't also have a close personal connection to A&M or Aabama simply cannot be called a Mean Green fan, but rather a casual observer.

True, we need the casual observer as well to fill Apogee, but Mean Green FANS will not stay away due to the Alabama-A&M game. We just need more Mean Green fans who see the Mean Green as their #1 priority.

So....game should have no impact on attendance.....sure, one can hope, right?

Yes - I would guess around 16,000 due to the Alabama/A&M game being on at the same time. If we would have won last week, maybe more due to hype on campus.

I did pick up my student ticket today and asked a friend who was in charge of handing them out. He said he was pretty busy today handing out tickets, but I don't know what "busy" is compared to "normal".

I just wish he numbered handed out equated to rears in the seats in a more positive correlation. Like 1:1, right?

16K? Well, we're going a little ridiculously low if we're thinking under 17...I don't think the A&M/Bama game will have that big of an impact, personally. I still think 20K.

I'm going with 18,501 no more, no less.

Trying to pull a "Price is Right" move here. Hopefully it'll work in my favor.

I've got a DVR through AT&T. I'll be at the UNT game, as always....but your casual observers and general sports fans are going to be impacted by that other game whether people on here like it or not. It's the biggest ticket of the year, most bet on, etc. If UNT wasn't playing at the same time, I'd be watching that game and I'm not a fan of either team---just a sports fan!

announced: 19,200

So are we going with announced or actual? Last game there was a 4000-5000 difference.

I think it will be relatively the same as the home opener. Early games are tough on those with kiddos in sports Saturdays, but the heat will be down some and we won't be fighting labor day.

No there wasn't. Some people just have bad eyes at estimating attendance.

      I hear you, but this is the AD's JOB. It is what they get paid to do to. They should have goals/objectives around these metrics and strategies/programs to achieve them. What are the goals? What are they doing to achieve them? We (the collective fan base) pay somewhere in the neighborhood of $9,000,000 a year in overall AD salaries, compensation and bonuses. Throw in another $4,000,000 or so annually in "overhead and administrative expenses." Fund raising, marketing and promotion is a little over $900K (total for all sports). I wonder how much is going to promote basketball to the local community?

      JUCO players will have 4 years NCAA eligibility remaining

      I agree overall. Was just thinking out loud. If I'm a P4 school and there's still scholarship limits, I'd probably rather take the high school freak athlete. Now, maybe I could give the other guy an NIL deal to pay for school as a PWO but how many of those guys would be scholarship worthy talents. Don't know why you think it's so improbable. Look at a guy like Phil Knight and Oregon. He could buy a couple pro teams if he wanted to pay 27 year olds to play ball and get bragging rights. The more we remove ourselves from college sports, I think it's reasonable to wonder if guys like him lose interest. Not saying we're there yet. Just saying it's not impossible...

      Would you support UNT Dallas becoming D1 in basketball? Not talking logistics or if it's deserved, just the move.

      Take a stand? 🤣 They won't and they don't care who are in the uniforms they love as long as they can play and aren't embarrassing the program in their free time. The 27 year olds in FBS not playing QB will be the rarity. Maybe the over 23 year olds playing the more physically taxing positions we stay put their final 2-3 years prioritizing education over chasing a very short improbable NFL careers. 🤷🏽‍♂️

      Appalachian State (12/20/24)

      sure. let's do it. I just think something needs to change if this team wants to legitimately compete for the conference title. it's frustrating that RH seems pretty unwilling to even tinker with line-ups through the non-con. I think there's some real hubris in thinking you've got the rotation dialed from day one when you're working in 75% of a new team.
