I don't know...we don't even have "several" thousand season ticket holders, depending on how you define several. And someone else said the number of people who did buy their own tickets was quite small

We will end up with a sell out and be fine. Instead of bellyaching why dont you either buy some tickets or talk it up to some friends.


Actually I bought ten myself, am going, and talked four friends in to staying around Dallas for the game and New Years. Clearly I'm part of the problem. And yes, we will wind up with a sell out, that's not really the question. The question is are we going to wind up being outnumbered playing a bowl game in our own stadium and not even be able to sell our own allotment of tickets.

As far as the school goes - we are waaaay closer to equality with their football team then their shcool is to our school academically. It is not even close really.


Great sports point...

The amount of season ticket holders that bought their exact seats during the early period was minuscule, so don't count on thousands of more SMU fans on the west side. Think very low triple digits, not anywhere close to four digits.
