TCU has over 3 times more season tickets-

True, and remember a lot of those season tickets are stub hub people that buy them and then resell to fans from other Big 12 teams.

DFW has attendance problems for its teams: TCU, SMU, Mavs, Cowboys, Rangers, Stars...if they aren't winning..people are not going to show

SMU can fix attendance by allowing alcohol in the stadium. That is the biggest gripe from our fans in the boulevard....

With all the games on TV, many folks would just rather stretch out on the coach with the beer and flip around.

laugh all you want TCU had 41,894 paying customers today-probably the only unsold tickets were from Kansas allotment. That's a lot of cash SMU needs
