Unfortunately, my plans to go to the Tulsa game and be on the Boulevard went down the drain when I saw the Rangers game is scheduled for 4. Sorry, but I've gotta go to the baseball game. I've never been to a Rangers playoff game before and I can't pass this opportunity up. I wish the game could be an hour or two earlier so that I'd have time to get back for the SMU game, but that obviously can't happen.

What are the early attendance estimates for the games at the Cotton Bowl and Cowboys stadium?

It will be interesting to see the attendance for all five games and what effect (if any) they'll have on each other.

Where (and what time) is Baylor playing Tech? I thought they were playing in Waco.

Thanks. Who knows, maybe some of them may stop by our game.

Oh well....just show up and beat Tulsa.


I thought AM vs Arkansas was in Arlington, at Cowboy stadium. Is that now considered in Dallas?

It's going to be diehards only for SMU/Tulsa.
Just way too many other options.

Who in the world would would even think about choosing Rangers baseball over SMU football?

I think I have seen it all...

15k max. It will be like the Rice crowd, hopefully not as bad as Washington State. I would imagine that TU brings a few thousand.

Sad indeed. Huge game.

That is not true, you could be at the game by 8. The ballgame starts at 4

Went to the Ranger play off games in 95 against the Yankees, it was a football atmosphere, loud, loud, loud. I love the Rangers, I was a ball boy during the 1980 season and worked in the front office in 1986, but I'm not driving in from West Texas to go to a baseball game.
See all of you on the BLVD, Saturday!!

I haven't missed a Pony home game in years but I'm going to the Ranger Game. Depending on traffic I should be there by half time for sure and properly tanked. I'll have 3 rental in fans in tow who should also be pretty rowdy. You take my Rangers tickets....you also got to take my Pony tickets. That's the way Paul Hugg rolls.

Not to be gay, but I bet we lose more fans to the Cattle Barons Ball than the baseball game....although I wouldn't have noticed those fans behind the glass anyway.

I guess it is better than a major conflict every weekend.

Thought....., last year they offered either free or reduced admission with a stub from the Texas-OU game. Couldn't we do the same for both the Baylor-Tech and Ark-AM?
