UTSA ....Can we get a crowd like UTEP or bigger?

[trussbussdad]

UTSA will come into Apogee with an attitude.

We need to come out for that game like UTEP or BIGGER!!!

Can we Hit 30k?

[Christopher Walker]

I think we maintain what we've had these last two weeks, but only realistically see a marginal increase.

[ParksAndRecRick]

Biggest Crowd in Apogee history! Mark it!

[UNT 90 Grad]

Unfortunately, I don't think UTSA has the curb appeal to draw in the needed fair to spare generic sports fan to hit 30.

Just looking at what the ticketmaster map looked like before UTEP and what it looks like now 2 weeks before UTSA, I would say chances are this crowd will be bigger

[filmerj]

I think UTSA may travel better.

If anyone knows anything about CUSA football, they know that this is a BIG game. UTSA has played their way back into the division race and winning out is the only way they can do it.

Way too many people sitting on their hands yesterday. I don't care if its 26k again as long as everyone can simply put their hands together repeatedly to generate noise.

Cut the crowd some slack, most of the people who were haven't been to a game in a while so I'm sure they forgot how to handle defensive third down stands. ?

Hey, if just half of UTSA's 35 million fans show up, we're in good shape.

[meangreenthirteen]

Personally, it's hard to imagine a scenario in which this game ends up being more sparsely attended than the UTEP game. I think a blowout win on HC will help convince some stragglers to hop aboard the bandwagon. And I just don't see student attendace falling off. I sat in the student section yesterday for the first time since I was a student. It was electric.

I'm serving KFC at the tailgate. Figure that will lure at least 6 UTSA fans that wouldn't have come otherwise.

Speaking of travel, I haven't seen it yet in the other threads but how was the UTEP crowd?

Weak.

More than UTSA will bring

[greenit]

My guess is 750-1000. They had most of 2 lower sections filled and when looking around the stadium for orange, maybe they would have completely filled two sections, which I think is roughly 1000 seats. Again, just a guess.

Not as many as some were predicting, but easily the most visiting fans so far this season.

[meangreenthirteen]

According to the UTSA boards, they're bringing as many as 3 busses now. That's just one effort I'm aware of. I wouldn't be surprised if they brought more than UTEP. Bring 'em on. The more Roadrunners there to witness the beating, the better.

24,606 showed up in San Antonio.

25,391 previous home game.

25,272 against Rice

I think it's safe to say the novelty is starting to wear off. If they don't start winning soon, they'll be in the mid teens within 2 seasons.

I disagree with some of the others. I think it was the best showing since Houston. They were spread out throughout the stadium and I would guess 1200-1500.

Excellent logic professor. Lets talk again after the season when the average attendance rankings are out. As of right now UTSA is still averaging over 30K and UNT with this week's game should be around 22-23K Our last home game is always a big bump

I don't think he's saying anything about having a higher attendance record than y'all, just that yours is trending downward.

And your "last home game is always a big bump"? Haven't you only had two ever?

Yes only 2 but the trends are the same thus far. Home games 4 and 5 have the lowest attendance while the first and the last are always the best.

Yes, in all of utsa's three year history, the last home game is always a bump. Geeze.

The last home game was half Texas State fans you imbecile.

I'll have KFC at our tailgate as well.
