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.

      Why Support this Program?….Seriously!?

      I condone and understand the mistaken omission. It was the most misleading victory in Mean Green history. I was there for that game in club seat because the weather was horrible. A pass happy UTSA came to Denton with a cold windy miserable wet day that made it impossible to throw the ball. Maybe they win the game if the weather was not so bad. But the fact they let that game be an excuse to keep Littrell another season was infuriating! 🤬. A decision like that had nothing to do with winning football because they followed that up with another double digit loss in the closet thing to a home Bowl Game in Frisco losing by double digits to a juggernaut 6-6 Miami OH. I said this at the time as well. And it was a confirmed bad decision when Seth couldn’t find a better QB than Austin Aune or get his completion percentage above 60% for more than 2 games in a row. This department is comfortable with mediocrity and programs new to the FBS level like UTSA our asses routinely. Long as we can beat teams having historically bad seasons for their program and FCS teams we are good. I am sure many of the few loyal fans were annoyed that there were enough fans that partied outside the stadium for homecoming to make the game a sellout. But after 20 years of the bullshit, I can’t be disappointed in them anymore.

      Is this what an “offensive genius” looks like?

      It feels like this season is over. If we somehow manage to get that elusive 6th win, can we file a lawsuit to help a 3-win MAC team get into a bowl game so that it will at least be competitive? Also, can we go back to the era when we didn't have any rivals? Any annual "rivalries" just end up fizzling because we're so terrible in those games that the series quickly become non-competitive and unexciting. We never really take any successful steps to improve the program while others refuse to remain complacent.

      ***OFFICIAL UNT vs. UTSA IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      Records of teams that we have beat. The only team with a winning record is SFA and they just lost to Texas A&M Commerce. We have a terrible defense and and offense that is explosive against bad teams. If the defense gets a stop, then the offense crumbles the next drive. South Alabama (4-5) SFA (6-4) Wyoming (2-8) Tulsa (3-7) Florida Atlantic (2-7) This team sucks, the program is heading in the wrong direction. I have wasted 17 years following this program. Not sure how you old timers have done this for so long.

      Looked him up. He’s a 5’7” 170lb QB/Wr. You’re trolling us or you’re not watching the same games I am… unless he’s the key to unlocking 800 yards and 55ppg he’s not the answer. The answer is a defense with a pulse. I am not saying we don’t need or want him…but he’s not changing this team from losers to winners by himself. That lousy team that just whipped us last night has always had a better defense on the field than we have. With the exception of 2013.
