Thursday 6:30 pm, on ESPN. SMU 6-0 Nationally ranked. Sonny has already mentioned a couple of times, how important having a big crowd will be. What say you?

Wish I could be there but will have to watch. I hate non-Saturday games.

Called attendance: 23k
Actual attendance: 18k

Too early, can't get home from work in time.
too late, have to get up early.
Great student attendance, poor paying fan attendance.
14,500 thru the turnstiles.

Yep the excuse parade will be in full force. If 14,500 come thru turnstiles, we will announce 27,500.

15,000 sounds about right. Cameras will focus on students and try not to show too much of the empty east side of Ford

Rick and Marketing are doing what they can to get those East stands purchased. If they would block off the 200 section and move people down, it MIGHT look decent.

saw somewhere it was DISD night so I'd imagine lots of tickets being given away

I thought those were lower priced tickets?

Half price concessions. Total game changer. :lol:

Thankfully got clearance to go but man it's going to be dreadful based on all these efforts to push people there.

Don’t understand. What’s going to be dreadful? You’d enjoy the game better if there were only 5K there? I’m glad we are making efforts toward getting good attendance at what should be a very fun evening with near-perfect weather. 80 degrees at kickoff, little chance of rain.

Maybe you are misunderstanding me or I didn't write it clearly.

1) I think based on these initiatives that they must know there's alot tickets sitting idle
2) I would love if we had a sold put crowd on a Thursday but I know #1 is going to happen
