Listening to the conference call right now with SMU/Army coaches and officials.
The game was sold out a few weeks ago (with allotments of tickets held for each participating school), and one of the bowl officials said they are going to begin selling standing-room-only tickets Monday morning, and guessed that they might end up selling 36,000-37,000 tickets for the game.

36-37k would be fantastic to see. Could be a great gameday environment.

FYI, for those of us who live out of state and are close to an airport that Southwest Airlines services...they are having a $59 sale through Dec. 13th.
one way tickets only, but obviously hen bought separately...that's about $120 round trip before taxes, from anywhere in the continental US.

PP, How many tickets were allocated to each school?

With the number of Army bases in Texas I would think with Army playing they could move this to the Cotton Bowl capacity 92,000 and maybe fill it up
