Mavs
Rangers
Stars
Cowboys (late 80s)
TCU Football

All local teams that had terrible attendance problems at some time in the last 25 years (or currently, in the case of the Stars). It's amazing what winning can and will do for that problem.

If this is really your attitude about it, then why are you even here?

The last thing we need is a Baylor/rice situation....let's fill our place and then worry about going bigger.

TCU just started selling out their stadium in 2012...winning does that to your program

TCU started with .25% more fans than SMU has now-they steadily increased attendance when they first started having success. SMU has had no improvement-none at all-over the last 4 Bowl Seasons

Though true statement, TCU's success in attendance occurred with a much greater win-loss ratio
