i'm not sure, but i've got to the AFB the last 2 years in ft. worth with a TCU buddy who always buys his seats. he gets his same parking space for the AFB as he does for frog games.



TCU = 44,000 seats
SMU = 32,000 seats


what does seating capacity have to do with reserved parking?
Ok this is getting ridiculous...I agree with Dutch on THIS ONE POST by him totally

$300 for an Armed Forces Bowl ticket? Good luck trying to get that.

And the bowls don't "give" the schools an allotment of tickets - SMU has to buy them from the bowl, and then re-sell them to get their money back. If SMU doesn't sell them all, SMU has to eat them.

At least that's the way it's done with just about every bowl, especially the minor ones like the Armed Forces Bowl. It's all a racket. Most schools lose money on bowls because they can't sell all their tickets, plus travel costs, which are usually not picked up by the bowl.

They will sell for $300.00 ++ if SMU is in it book it! If their not in it $200 easy. 50 yard line home side.

no kidding. it was damn cold. however thanks to that cold weather i was introduced to a fantastic drink called the Climax. it's essentially a hot bloody mary. 1 part vodka, 2 parts tomato juice (or bloody mix if you prefer) and 2 parts beef broth. heat the broth and juice in a pot, dump into a thermos and add the vodka. i know it sounds weird, but it's like boozy hot tomato soup. when it's cold out it goes down real fast and warms you up on the inside nicely. in fact i'm looking forward to having some next friday at the Nebraska/CU game.

Does SMU see any revenue from this? 32,000+ people on our campus has to help us in some way financially, and not just in the "exposure" aspect
