FWST: In changing college football landscape, TCU’s attendance challenge a potential problem

[lowfrog]

My belief is that the Cal game start time is deliberate, but it's not about TV. It's about the heat. TCU players will be able to handle it, Cal players not at all. Watch the sidelines during the game.

so the frogs volunteered to play in that time slot?

Don't underestimate the fact that a substantial portion of folks have been (unreasonably) scared out of their scheissing wits by the disease

I see them every day driving in their car by themselves wearing a mask.

Yes, we've done it before. There's a reason the visitor sideline faces southwest. Also, attendance matters to player moral, recruit impact and coaches. Can't tell you how many halftimes we came out of the tunnel and I heard "half the stadium still in the scheissing parking lot"

Kindly, get your butts in the seats if you care half as much as you say you do.

I still remember GP bragging about Stanford having to play us in Texas Heat back in 2008 before Hurricane Ike was a thing.

You shouldn’t read any. Never mind I don’t like what he writes…he is a terrible human being. Starve him. He is on this forum right now. There are a couple of screen names, I can’t think of right off the top of my head but I know he is here.

Thanks for the advice

TCU sent out an email for $10 tickets to Cal.

glad the season ticket holders are paying $70/game or more while TCU is dumping tickets for $10/game

I don't buy season tickets because I think it will save me money. I do it because I like my seats, have great fan sitting around me, and it supports the team.

Bwaaaahahaha. Thanks, you made me spill my coffee.

I’m sure the $10 seats are in prime seating areas. Tickets aren’t $70/game either.

 

[Pharm Frog]

Plenty of $6 seats to be had.

Attendance is going to suck tomorrow. Boring opponent. Miserably, if not dangerously hot.

It's okay though. I think we'll kick Cal's ass which will lead to quite a bit of buzz heading into the SMU game.

If we can get the ponies at night, I think we'll have one of the better crowds we've seen in the carter in quite a while. Win that game, and assuming Texas is still undefeated, we may be set up for the most fun atmosphere since joining the big 12 on Oct 2nd against the longhorns. I hope people realize this may be the last time we get to play them in fort worth for a long, long time.

You can get a Loge for $100 p ticket. Some decently priced Club seats for those who never had the opportunity, as well. And of course plenty of $3 and $6 tickets.

Nope, Did not make the opener. I work full time and am a full time PhD student that has a 4.5 hour drive each way. Should be there tomorrow for the Cal game.

Yes, the people around me were at the game last weekend. I text with some of them. I also watched the ticket upgrade process and none of the seats came available around me.

The crowd at the UVA v Illinois games is pretty sparse. Wonder if they'll write an article about it.

Can you say 100 degrees.....no day games until Mid October
