It's already sold out for this coming season and I don't see that falling off anytime soon...

We had 46K at Floyd Casey last fall to watch Baylor beat a bad Iowa St team 71-7

45K for the WVU game

50K on a Thursday night against OU

Hell we had 45K for the Wofford game

So 4 of our home games last year that didn't have a Texas team involved had 45K or more(only one game had less that 40K last year and that was Buffalo) in the stands... UT game had 51K and that was in 20 degrees temps with ice all over the roads from Dallas to Austin.

How did they only average 46k for the year then, with those numbers? Was there a game where only 20k came?

You serious clark?

7 total home games...

Wofford = 45,989
Buffalo = 39,126
ULM = 42,967
WVU = 45,467
ISU = 46,825
OU = 50,537
UT = 51,728

Average Attendance = 46091

Math is pretty simple, not sure what you were seeing that would cause you to be so surprised.

No we won't

Which would ours be nicer than?

Baylor? Not anymore.
Texas? Not a chance.
Texas Tech? Nope.
Oklahoma? Um, no.
Oklahoma State? Nope.
Kansas State? Not a chance once their renovations are done, even with SEZ done to JTS.
Kansas? If renovated, then I doubt it.
West Virginia? Nope.
TCU? Not anymore since they renovated theirs.

Have you been to all of those?

This is like arguing over whose mommy is prettiest. What matters is winning. Everything else is second fiddle, including the capacity, toilets, urinals, and seat cushions.

Wow, did they pay extra to the artists to make it look like a authentic gameday crowd?

I have been to every Big XII stadium. The ISU restroom design and space on the sidelines is by far the best of any stadium. Think of OSU and that's the worst anywhere for sideline space since fans cannot even see the sideline from the stands. The access to the OU and UT restrooms is the worst in the B12 since we no longer have the Weedearters anymore; try to go to a restroom from the 88th row of Memorial Stadium in Lincoln.

Even with the SEZ, I think Jack Trice will only be better than KU for stadiums in the Big 12. We'll be close to TT though IMO. Everyone else's stadiums will still be better though.

But we're getting better, that's the key. The SEZ just HAD to be done in order to look like more like a BCS type school. A nicer and bigger pressbox would be the next thing IMO.

I believe all the stadiums, sans Ku, are going to be pretty nice and hard to pick between. I've been to Austin, Waco, Ames, Lawrence, Ft. Worth and Manhattan, of course, and can say that the newly renovated digs are all going to be nice. TCU was particularly appealing to me. Small enough. On campus. Newly renovated. Nice people. Walkable. Parkable. Good visit. Waco was the worst before McLane, so look forward to visiting again. Austin is always good. Ku will be fine once they clean it up which is starting now with the track's exit.

Congratulations - you have a football field with a grass track around it.
