Never gonna happen. Attendance will have to come from SMU family, alumni, students and friends of the university or fans of opponents. Navy will bring a much larger crowd than expected

I agree with those who say that several years of winning just might change the culture at SMU, but today we just don't have enough students and living alumni who care. Just hope it happens in my lifetime because it will probably take at least 5 years of contending for championships and competing at a top 25 level to attract more sports minded students and engaged alumni. This is Dallas, so 5 years of that level of play will bring out the band waggoners...not unlike what TCU has accomplished

SMU better be working right now, invite high school bands, churches, flood the market and sit them on the LOWER east side and endzone. If not, it will be embarrassing on tv. Come on SMU, surprise us for a change!

It's Thanksgiving weekend so you can forget about the students.
It would be fantastic if our AD came up with some sort of significant promotion for the game.[/quote]
How about dropping free turkeys, out of a copter over Ford, to the game attendees in the stands just before the kickoff.

Anyone notice the tickets being handed out on the boulevard against Memphis? Couple guys at my spot grabbed one and used them to stop in the game for a bit. This should be the norm for a couple years. They must have had a stack of 800 tickets they were passing out. Get 5 people doing that and tell blvders they can sit anywhere outside the 10's (don't want to tick off season ticket holders).

I agree with Stallion that price of the ticket isn't keeping people away.

Each ticket purchased comes with a free drink or food coupon?
