It's really frightening if only 2,000ish people showed up at the UH Rice game...move the goalposts? Is there an unofficial real number since the officials are obviously always inflated as tickets sold and not people in stands

I may well owe you, and Endless, a humble apology.
I have spent the last week cleaning out my Folks old place (Mom has moved to an "Independent Living" facility, which seems to be stuffed with friends of hers. She is tickled silly at having Bridge games at all hours, good grub, and karaoke!) down in Pearland. I was surprised by the sheer number of UH stickers, yard signs, and other paraphernalia as I drove around and ran various errands. Evidently there is a good deal of support after all. .

Gentlemen, I beg your pardons.
Where is UH ranked in the US News and World Report university academics.
Moved to the Houston area a few years ago.
Like most frog fans, I considered this the armpit of texas for years. I've always lived in Texas and looked down upon Houston.
I was wrong. Houston's got a ton of character. Yes UH is in a rough part of town, but west 7th wasnt always nice either, and the East Downtown area of Houston has beem gentrifying quickly. There's tons to do pre and postgame in houston. Lots of breweries and sports bars within walking distance of one another. Houston's BBQ scene has exploded with quality options the last few years. Its international quisine is unmatched in Texas. There's simply no better breakfast in the state of Texas than The Breakfast Klub. That's chicken and waffles done right.
As far as road trips go, it's a quality drivable destination for most frog fans. For myself, its a nice bonus to have a game within 30 minutes.
So quit complaining about UH's addition. I'll see my fellow frogs at thier stadium, and afterwards we can drink cold beers at 8th Wonder brewery and consume some hot chicken sliders or cuban pork flatbread sandwichs from whichever excellent food truck is on site that particular night. Or maybe it will be some beef rib at truth bbq in the heights. Or pit room's brisket in montrose. I could list all the cool places I've found since moving here for awhile, but I'll save it for a visiting frogs guide when the time comes.
This is so inaccurate it's not even funny.Houston's football stadium was formally the Jeppesen High School Stadium. I played
high school football there in the 1950s. It was built in 1941 and seats 32,000. It has
been updated to some degree. The stadium is near the campus which is located in
Houston's notorious Third Ward. An area widely associated with having the city's
highest rate of crime. Attending night games there could prove somewhat precarious.
none of the places you listed are anywhere the third ward.
people who go to 8th wonder, hang out in montrose or midtown are not going to a UH football game
Isn't the what city's cuisine is 2nd behind Chicago's and BBQ an off season topic? Should we talk about tim love and hamburgers next?Moved to the Houston area a few years ago.

Vietnamese coffee. Yum.In for the Cuban sandwiches and a café con leche.
UH football was the hottest ticket in the city in 2011, 2015 and 2016. Games sold out in minutes.
Its amusing reading the outdated, inaccurate and borderline racist posts in this and other threads about us.
We're coming to the Big 12. Deal with it. Accept it.

I’m pretty sure most everyone here has accepted it. But that doesn’t change the fact that UH does have a ton of cons…and yes it does have pros too. Fighting over the cons is OBE. The question now is what will UH’s big 12 record be after their first 3 seasons? Above or below .500?UH football was the hottest ticket in the city in 2011, 2015 and 2016. Games sold out in minutes.
