Yes, Coach and 103.3 show host (?) most of us on GMG.com will be at this game...we have no idea about those outside of GMG.com and will only have low to high estimates of which I've heard every guestimate of that number. :)

Will the Cotton Bowl Stadium at 93,000 be the largest stadium any UNT football team has played?

I know DKR Memorial at UT-Austin who we open our 2014 football season is up there but is it larger?

If the City of Dallas comes thru with the locals with ticket sales and distribution as Fort Worth has done for their bowl game of late I think we will be fine at the turnstiles New Years Day.

Any year the HOD local sales plus whoever the C-USA opponent would be need to combine for at least 15,000 fans for a bowl game in a venue this large.

Not sure which CUSA school right now would ever bring as many fans as we will now (even with our 1 season win streak) or in the future for this bowl game with UNT's proximity and all. We all just hope we make a statement next Wednesday for all of DFW and the Lone Star State to see firsthand.

Could this bowl game in the future ever be moved to Ford or Apogee?

Just my .02.

Alabama is for sure bigger and DKR next year is larger.

And Death Valley, and Neyland Stadium

It will be the largest stadium where our football team has won.

Its capacity was just over 70k at the time.

And a 70K stadium was huge in those days.

Updated Info: Neyland was a little over 80K capacity when we played them. As a reference, Kyle Fields capacity up until 1976 was only 48K.
