I guess it is their super bowl. But our students and fans will be louder.

Anyone know how many student tickets were allotted to North Texas?

Usually its 3,500 or so

One of their posters said that they were allotted 3000 students tickets. I think our students can hang with that.

3,500 would represent more than half of the SMU undergraduate population. I think the student turnout should be pretty good as the weather is going to be fantastic and positive buzz from the first half against Baylor. I hope we can get 3,000 students for a game against NTSU. That would be great.

NTSU AD said on Monday they had sold between 4,000-5,000 seats from their allotment but he didn't say student allotment which is the term they are using now. I've never heard of a student allotment for a visiting team so I assume they have sold at least 5,000 of the ticket allotment. It could have been expanded by SMU-which is common when seats are available. And more NTSU fans/students can and are buying tickets from other sources

33,000 undergrads
Over 200,000 alumni in DFW

6,400 undergrads
40,000 alumni in DFW

I would hope they could bring 7-10K for their Super Bowl considering their campus is an hour away.

Let's hope NT was only allotted 3000 like their poster said.

They are saying somewhere between 25 and 35 bus loads of students.

It's fun to have a full crowd and two bands regardless what you think of UNT. SMU will represent well Saturday!

I'll be front row on the visitor side so I'll be supporting SMU in a sea of green.

I hope they are all on The Boulevard so we can get an easy contact high.

For some clarification, we've sold out the full 3000 student tickets. This is beyond the "visitors" allotment of 5000 that we've also nearly sold out. This is in addition to the EastOak Alumni Club packages that are sold out as well plus the Green Brigade...

3000 students
~4500 regular visitor tickets through UNT AD
300+ EastOak Alumni packages
400+ Green Brigade (this will likely take up an entire section)
xxxx there have been a lot of reports of people buying through other channels...

I think we easily bring at least 10,000.
