OFFICIAL: SMU - USF ATTENDANCE PREDICTIONS

[ALEX LIFESON]

Any update on the weather?

[SMU_Alum11]

Looks significantly improved. Before it was 90% all day with high winds (early this week) to 60% rain in the morning and turns into scattered thunderstorms. Probably ruins homecoming boulevard but the game should be good.

[Arkpony]

So still a chance (good one) for rain at game time.

[ALEX LIFESON]

Weather forecast keeps improving!

[SMU_Alum11]

24,000 first half
20,000 second half

Because people think and have probably planned for the weather to be poor despite it improving

20,000 first half
16,000 second half

New weather report looks great for today, no excuses... to not come out and support our Mustangs!

[Mustangs35SMU]

Crowd is really, really bad right now.

[Blvd_Stang]

Horrible.

Reality of the situation is we’re probably not going to get called up to a big boy league until we can fill Ford.

[Donnell88]

And I'm not blaming the students; there are far more alumni in the Metroplex than students.

[Topper]

Similar situation when JJ team beat TCU. We were ranked for the first time in decades. Came home to play defending champ UCF on a beautiful afternoon. Stands were practically empty. This is our catch 22. In the AAC we play too many teams that no one cares about.

[ALEX LIFESON]

Attendance was embarrassing.

[Bergermeister]

It is what it is and always has been. No surprise. Don't look for a change.

[EastStang]

It filled up during 1st quarter. Grassy area was packed. I’d about 1/2 full then 1/4 full after halftime.

[tristatecoog]

We moved to the shade after halftime. Good thing it was cloudy most of the game. USF almost filled one section. ACU did a bit better.

[Charleston Pony]

Sadly, even a 32,000 seat stadium is too large for SMU right now.
