is that the alumni side fills up before the team hits the field. The student side looks great and they have done their part but it's embarrassing that people are still filing in even after kick-off. C'mon folks. How great for the team to see both sides filled when they come on the field.

It should be much better for homecoming as compared to Rice. It was a work night and Halloween. This should be better.

Funny in the 12 years I have had season tickets I have never seen the student section as full as the alumni section, not even close but I had to miss the Rice game.

In my 5 years I think I have seen the alumni side have more fans than the student side maybe once or twice

ULL last year was more students.

To defend alumni last game, I left downtown Dallas at 4:40 - had the HOV lane on 35 from 635 to north of 121, and JUST made the kickoff. Halloween/rush hour traffic is BAD.

Take a walk to the end zone and look at both, its not even close. I wish it were different, the students could fill the current capacity by themselves

Geez, not this again.

Is this a goofy argument I missed in the past, I would be happy if the students kicked the Alumi's butts. I want the thing so full there is standing room only and then the next phase built and full again.

If the students filled the stadium what would all you alumni complain about on here?

Just fill the damn thing... Students, alumni, homeless, deniaites. I don't care who fills it so long as they're cheering in the Mean Green. This Alumni vs Students argument is just dumb.

I am sure we would find plenty. That stadium is too freaking loud.

That they were eligible to win an Ipad and we weren't? In all fairness to the pretext of the thread, each side should be eligible for two Ipads, but to be win, ticket must be scanned before the team runs on the field.

We've explained the hell out of it in the past. It will take time to graduate the current generation of students who support the program and slowly fill out the alumni side. it just seems that some people don't get that. I'm with everyone here. I want a freaking sellout, every game. But it will take time to convert those seats on the alumni side to butts.

we pretty much did the exact same thing... we had to run across the bridge to get into the game

The wish wasn't whose side fills up - the wish is that we show our support for this team by being in our seats when they hit the field. I understand this last game had its own issues (traffic, holiday, etc.), but very often I worry at kick-off if the alumni are gonna show! They get there "eventually."

Filling the alumni side is pathetic but the students are guilty also. At the kickoff, only the two sections south of the band were filled. By the end of the first quarter the remaining lower sections and most of the upper sections were filled. So students were still tailgating and walking over from the main campus side as well.

Also, don't forget there are close to 50% more seats to fill on the pressbox side. Most of the seats between the 30s on the west side are sold but not always attended. That was especially true on Halloween. Some of the late fill-in on the alumni side were students who probably came from the end or wing zone.

The crowds will get larger but I don't know how you cure arriving late.

Well.. once again I know that are many many students that are filling up the gaps in the alumni section.. I know that me and the 12 or so with us ended up leaking into the alumni section because the doc students arent rowdy enough for the student side.

The issue is going to be what happens when there is not enough "room" on the student side and they start bleeding over more and more to other parts of the stadium

Hey, if there's an empty seat I say fill it. If the ticketholder shows up then move to another empty seat. If the entire west stands fills then the late comers will get the end zone and the wing zone. If we get to the point of filling the stadium each game then it should be time to go to phase 2 of stadium expansion which calls for putting an upper deck on the east stands, I hope that we have that problem soon.

I was just joshing. However, it is going to take quite some time before we fill the stands. I mean hell, a lot people (including students) still think we're in the Sun Belt

As the te am came onto the field, I posted it looked like attendance was going to be about 16k because the student section was severely lacking. Even sent a pic of it to KingDL.

Students didn't completely fill in until end of 1st qtr.

For the record, I don't care when you get there as long as you get there.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      So very true. I guess they use the same financial model as the WNBA. At least in "professional" sports they are salary control and caps. I am not faulting the players, but at some point, all sides are going to have to try and find a solution, or I don't see how many programs continue with football.

      24/25 MBB Attendance Tracker

      Third home game in a row under 3K in attendance and 4th for the season. Now at 2,947, average attendance is down almost 13% (439 per game) compared to the first 7 home games last year. We are now down 1,185 in average attendance compared to last season's full year average. The home conference slate kicks off with UAB on New Year's Eve. Hopefully, we will be able to chip away at this attendance deficit as some familiar foes visit the Super Pit, but it looks like hitting a 4K average and growing average attendance for the 3rd year in a row is becoming increasingly out of reach. Just win and they will come they said. SMH. On the bright side, we're currently sitting at 9-3 and 7-0 at home and own the 2nd best Net rating in the conference only behind Memphis. Unfortunately, the conference is incredibly weak this year so we don't have many opportunities to improve that ranking. Aside from winning on the road at Memphis, holding serve in terms of a Net rating may be the best we can do from here. Actually, looking at the schedule, we do have three Q2 road games (Wichita St, FAU and Temple). They need to keep winning and we will need to win those three to improve our resume.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Tell me you’ll peddle BS on SMU’s behalf without telling me you’ll peddle BS on SMU’s behalf. Here is SMU’s attendance claim for this season; one so amazing that they made a nifty graphic for it. The only issue? Well, they played 7 home games and the stadium seats 32k…so an average attendance of 32,651 which is standing room only and beyond capacity is a bit difficult to swallow and leads one to believe that only believers in SMU math would buy it. And save me the “but look at North Texas’ attendance” garbage. Even someone as committed to being separated from reality as you knows that if North Texas 1) bought their way into the ACC to allow us to fill our stadium with opposing fans, 2) overpaid for players, and 3) had the easiest conference schedule possible to stack wins…Apogee would have been LEGITIMATELY sold out. And let me save you the trouble of the next silly argument you were just itching to type as a retort…yes, we have far more alumni, but we are not situated DEAD CENTER in a city of 1.3 Million people like SMU has been for decades
