Terrible

[unt_rocket09]

The attendance looks so bad on tv

[UNTLifer]

We better start worrying about us and stop the wise cracks towards SMU. We have no room to talk.

[Green P1]

10k tops. They'll report 16.

[unt_rocket09]

Alumni side looks extremely bad

[untbowler]

yeah told wife how bad it looked and it looks horrible.

[Eastwood Eagle]

To me this is expected. UNT never seems to handle early starts well, also, the whole "biggest game of the year" is probably hurting. Win tonight and we will see attendance better throughout the year.

Honestly wish this wasn't on TV. Legit production and crew no less.... And that's the smallest crowd at kickoff I've seen anywhere on television in a long, long time.

[Green P1]

So sad. Where are all the elementary school kids that were supposed to pad attendance?

[ColoradoEagle]

Student side is pretty embarrassing.

[JesseMartin]

I'm more concerned about the playing than the attendance. I'm sure most outsiders watching the game noticed our lack of points off turnovers and yet another long play for a TD more than they did the number of people in the stands. The two phenomena could be linked, you know...

The worst part of the thread title is it could pertain to so many things UNT football other than attendance.

We have a long way to go.

Speaks to how the student body really feels about the athletics program here. I had a professor who said it best: "People come to UNT to get away from football."

And I hope that professor loses his job.

I want some of them sweet green sunglasses they gave away. They're all out.

[UNT90]

HEY BOR!

This is what you extended!

Good job!

This is EASILY the WORST early season crowd I have ever seen.

People are starting not to give a sh+t, just like you.

Go freaking figure

Just wait till basketball season...

[meangreener]

Terrible crowd, will be around 17K reported. Really sad. The heat was pretty bad on the student section, I moved to the alumni side. TCU had the same problem with an early kick. Oh well. There was no publicity whatsoever, really terrible job by the athletic department. People are already looking forward to Rice and homecoming. A lot of the students left and the elementary kids all hid in the wing zone concourse. I have pictures. The heat was worse than Idaho, IMO.

Hmmmmmmm...what was that final score again?

A little quick out the gate with the hate...

Yep...let's hope the game results are just like this one!

Yes THE TEAM did a great job winning the game. The crowd was terrible, and that is someone's job. You can be proud of the team and upset at promotion, it's possible.

[KRAM1]

The only thing that I will say about today's attendance is that all who stayed away and/or left early missed one of the best comeback wins I have seen in awhile...sort of reminds me of last year's LaLa televised game where folks gave up and left and missed that great comeback! If you left or stayed home, you missed the best part of a great game!

TRY to stay positive. It was ridiculous HOT out there in the wing zone and student side. Forget the posts about attendance and focus that negativity on the rest right now. It will take care of itself. There were a lot of factors in the attendance today. Just keep winning!

I truly hope you lost a pair of shoes in his ass.

The attendance after half was miserable. I'm sure some on the student side went to sit on the alumni side, but not that many.

I'm so tired of hearing this every week. Such a lame excuse. People don't come to the games cause they're tired of losing and in the past it was the team that quit on the fans. I hope tonight our students saw the heart and effort our players put in and show up for the next home game.

Go Mean Green!

[JRock]

Yep. Stop bringing the program and people down. Just button your lip if you feel the urge to talk about attendance. Blanket statements about attendance and our team are a complete waste of time. I love North Texas football and always will. Our program is going places and our team deserves our support for what they just did on the field. What's more important for me? I created memories for my kids tonight who attended their first game. Attendance grows and shrinks with a growing program. Like climbing a ladder in an elevator. Patience. We will get there.
