Texas Tech football: Kirby Hocutt says Horned Frogs 'need help in filling their stadium'​

Story by Don Williams, Lubbock Avalanche-Journal

TCU recently put single-game tickets on sale to the general public for all the Horned Frogs' home football games this season except one. TCU will sell tickets to its Oct. 26 homecoming game against the Texas Tech football team only as part of a season-ticket or multi-game package.

That prompted Texas Tech athletics director Kirby Hocutt to playfully jab TCU AD Jeremiah Donati on social media, saying, "we can fill your stadium too if you'll let us."

"Just trying to help TCU sell tickets," Hocutt said with a laugh this week. "Obviously, they need help in filling their stadium, and Red Raider nation would be happy to help them do it for when the Red Raiders roll in. For whatever reason, they seem to be reluctant to open up single-game sales for our game. Just trying to be a helpful Big 12 partner to them."

Trophies and championships and playoffs are great image-builders and certainly do help ticket sales, but to attain and maintain the cash flow necessary to have the bucks in the bank to do that it's essential to put butts in the seats

TT has over 230,000 living alums vs our 90,000. TT has over 45,000 student body (grad and under grad) vs our 12,000 grad and under grads. Then you add the make-up of the student body ratio TCU 59% female 41% male vs TT 49% female 51% male. We all know they could fill The Carter and turn it into TT home game with their guns up and knock off Yosemite Sam but TCU want to keep it a home game so let them run their mouths about how unfair it is, but it is The Carter home of TCU football.

Per the NCAA, in 2023, tech averaged 90.14% capacity, TCU 102.89%. Tech averaged more per game because it is about 15K larger stadium. Plus a much bigger student body.

Wow, 102.9% in a 5 win season. Thers’s the carryover from the championship run.

This year both teams should be looking for their 6th win in this game.
It could be a really hot ticket, and an absolute war on the field.

Ok, so Tech averages having a nominal amount of attendees more than does a much smaller TCU, but only has shared one meaningless conference championship that occurred 30 years ago along with Rice, Baylor, TCU and UT while real winner ATM was on probation. They then embarrassed the SWC in their only appearance as SWC representatives in the Cotton Bowl by getting trounced by USC 55-14. Prior to that, Tech went through another near 40 year void of having a conference title! Historically, Tech has a bad sucking football program and likely would have been WAC bound with us in 1996 without the political assistance of Bob Bullock and some other state reps/senators that were influential west Texans.
