I watched the La Tech vs Liberty game from Ruston last night and it was fun. I know La Tech doesn’t have any market but I enjoyed being in a league with them. Same with Western Kentucky. Those teams don’t move needles for many but our teams had some battles.
Next the Superpit could be more exciting. There could be social drink zones. Pop up bars with tvs showing other games to draw me in earlier and to get updates at halftime. Old venues like the Pit and Thomas and Mack are fun and old.
Then I watched Utah State absolutely steal a W from Boise. Loved it. Kept thinking if we go west I would love those battles in Boise, Logan, Spokane, Fort Collins, Corvallis and San Diego. We’re talking some tremendous roadtrip opportunities! Those crowds are crazy too.

Isn’t attendance down everywhere? You act like this is a UNT specific phenomenon and I think it seems like more of a macro issue.
For instance, how about the fact I can watch basically every sporting event nowadays on my hi def television? Seriously, that has not always been the case and it has to have an effect on the casual sports fan.
I think it is completely reasonable, and wild that we aren’t doing 5-7k every home game.
I think about this a lot, and wonder if there is more to it than the traditional points.
1) Denton doesn’t care
2) we have a UT-tshirt culture
3) too much other stuff to do in DFW
…I personally think throwing those excuses out there, even with the element of truth, is kinda lazy. We need to have constructive, creative talks to solve this riddle. We should still be getting 5k, even with the above. My 0.02
