Crowd was decent at its peak but it didn't last the entire game. We won't come close to those numbers again this season.

Only a couple of our crew of 20 or so made it to the game. Didn't want to mess with traffic and parking. It is what it is. Solid showing by smu fans.

It is a [deleted] trying to make a Friday nite game in rush hour traffic in DFW for a game you can watch on National TV


Ding ding. My son and I came over from FW. In order to make it work, I had to leave the office at 2:30 pm, pick my son up at school at 3:15 and then head straight over to Dallas. That worked well and we had a very nice time on the Blvd before the game. But had we left FW any later, it would have been a huge traffic beat down. I'm lucky I had the flexibility at work to leave so early. Many people don't. So it doesn't surprise me that there wasn't a stronger TCU showing. On a Saturday, I think there would be. But for a Friday night, it's honestly easier to shoot down I-35 west to Waco than it is to battle the traffic into Dallas.

Did not see W and I walked in with no problem, and no wait.

Traffic to the game was very, very bad.

I thought the crowd was pretty good until people started leaving.

I walked right in at 6:45 with no wait.
