It's already schedule to be off for the final game. I'm assuming they've had enough demand for tickets to the Oklahoma game to take it off prior to the finale?

Sorry, for the 7th. They'll probably wait a few days to take it, it would just fill up with water right now...

Used to sit there many years ago. They were $2 tickets from Mickey D's back then. Saw "The Miracle on the Brazos" game sitting directly in front the old score board.

But you didn't go to any other school. So you can't support this other program.

You may have. But what do you consider "woes"?

Through my limited research, 2009 had the worst attendance by a long shot and that was averaging 74k vs. new mexico, utah state, uab and iowa state.

Is that based off tickets sold or butts in the seat? (or standing in their case)

New Taiton
11-01-2013, 08:55 AM
No idea.

I would assume ticket sales as that's how everyone calculates attendance.

But....there is no photographical evidence of a "half full" kyle field.

The worst I remember was Kansas 2003 and the hot game against Fresno State in 2008ish.

I'm sad I raised the attendance figure by 1 in 2010. I probably have more games attended than some of the a&m fans around here.

Actually, that was a picture of Floyd Casey after halftime when all that was left was the Aggie fans. It is not hard to mistaken FC for tu and ATMs home stadium then they play there.

The lowest attaendance for Kyle Field in the last 10 years was for the 2004 Wyoming game that drew 65,600 fans.

That is approximately 79% capacity.

Sounds like there's a lot of energy coming out of hibernation in Waco. Brile's is a genius to be able to have Baylor's program at a level to allow the tarps to come off! Wow.
