I think I heard it was a sellout, but it didn't look like it on TV. One of the announcers said a lot probably stayed home because of the heat.
May the forth be with us.

Almost completely packed through the first half except for a few spots high on the east side in the sun. I guess you had to be there in person to see it. By far the best it’s been in a while. Speaking of which, there should be something that says if those folks bought seats in the new endzone area, they should somehow be required to use them. Those empty seats look bad. Much like the high dollar lower section at Moody. If they can close down the boulevard, they can push those people into their seats.

Yeah those have to be used. Looks terrible otherwise.

It was awesome in person. And the biggest point, which I will bring up in my post game writeup this afternoon, is that game was the first time in Ford Stadium history that the crowd legitimately impacted the game. TCU looked rattled from the start.

Not to rain on what happened yesterday, but I had to edit your post very slightly.

Also 2009 vs. UTEP. When Taylor Thompson crushed the QB to seal the first bowl bid, Ford was deafening.

That was the loudest I have ever heard at an SMU game, and I have seen many.

Being in Chicago, I don’t get to many games, but I was at the Opening Game in 2009 when we beat Kansas. It was a special day and memory.

I was there also and thought about it for this thread, but really, have to respectfully disagree. All ~9000 of us still there were certainly yelling our loudest. But it was not like last evening or even Kansas 2000.

The opening of Ford against Kansas was special and it was even hotter than it was last night but the difference is the student attendance. Kudos to the students for a really strong showing and it's usually the students that set the tone for the level of enthusiasm from the crowd
