BAYLOR ATTENDANCE

[ALEX LIFESON]

Why do I feel like I'm walking down a hallway to the electric chair and somehow like it.

Because you do.

There should definitely be a clinical "Peruna Syndrome" diagnosis in addition to nature's "Peruna's Law".

13,500 season tickets sold

How does that compare with recent seasons?

[RGV Pony]

That would be the most by a thousand or more since we moved to Ford

[smusic 00]

That's a really big number. Hope is indeed a strategy.

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

13.5k sounds really nice, especially after 1-11.

I hope this season keeps those 13.5k and adds even more.

[Pony Boss]

Billy at scout said they are close to 10k, so my prediction was off. Although would not be surprised if more ppl buy in before the season starts and baylor fans too

[Stallion]

I'm pretty sure we had less than 10,000 full season ticket packages in 2014 plus maybe 2,500 3 game mini-packages which included A&M or TCU tickets last year. An SMU official I believe said we sold 12,500 season tickets last year but that has to include mini-packages.

There is no way we're at 13.5k season tix.

Some people just like to argue huh. No, I want to see people with no ties to our school come to the game and be sold on the experience and develop into fans. That way the next time it might be 60-40 or 70-30 SMU.

agreed. I pulled for SMU because it was the "local" school...long before I ever decided to attend SMU. Of course, I also pulled for Texas back then because it was "my state's school". Would love to see more casual DFW sports enthusiasts adopt SMU.

You're a native Texan, CP?

Well I knew there was something wrong with you.

Well I knew there was something wrong with you.

actually, was born in Massachusetts and family originally from Boston area, but grew up in Dallas and in Schenectady, NY (that pretty much labels my Dad as G.E. guy). Lived in N. Dallas in same neighborhood as Tom Landry & Hayden Fry. Same age as "Kitty" Landry and played ball in elementary school and Jr High with Hayden's sons, Randy & Zach. Lived in Dallas on 4 separate occasions for a total of 24 years but have now been in South Carolina for 22 years, so I'm not sure that I am "native" anything, but have followed SMU since the days of Doc Hayes and Hayden Fry...long before I decided to attend SMU (along with 2 of my 4 brothers). Older brother is a professor of Economics at USC's Marshall School of Business and 3 of my brothers have now settled in CA, but I'm an east coast guy. I think what's really wrong with me is the same thing that haunts most of us on this board, i.e., we are gluttons for punishment and eternal optimists when it comes to SMU athletics.

[GiddyUp]

Gee this thread can be seen in 2000, 2005, 2010, 2012, etc and present. Same stuff about attendance ad nauseam.

[whitwiki]

Personally I think we should hire strippers

[GiddyUp]

Just based on stubhub, tons of seats avail
