Congrats? You continue to hand money to an administration that truly doesn't care about you

Why aren't people coming to Austin on the weekend to go to games?


Nobody goes there anymore - it's too crowded.

You averaged 90 percent in 2004.

You averaged 92 percent in 2003.

You averaged 92 percent in 2006.

You averaged 93 percent in 2009.

So if I gave my money to say Arkansas or TCU instead they would truly care about me?

What nonsense.

All those are still greater than 89.9% and your 2010, 2013, and 2014 percentages.

Lol that's not an attack at your school itself although with the a&m enrollment growth it's looking more and more like they are only interested in numbers

I did 2013, too.

Texas averaged 99 percent of capacity.

Are you a congenital liar, or what?

Speaking of lies, how is this even remotely close to a sellout. From the Florida Atlantic game in 2010

bullshite.

That's the Kansas State game in 2007 with 2 minutes left in the game. Look at the scoreboard.

Tickets sold that day: 84,864.

DKR capacity at the time: 85,123

You're a goddamn liar.

What the frick? Are you seriously trying to compare Austin to Los Angeles???? GTFO.

There are enough students, alumni, employees, and tshirt fans in that city to double the capacity of the stadium. They don't have pro sports in Austin, they have Longhorn sports.

Their attendance has nothing to do with traffic, and everything to do with fan sentiment.

It also has to do with hotel prices. They are astronomical in Austin.

One of the reasons why the state basketball tournament was moved to San Antonio.

Too hard to get to, and hotel rooms too expensive.

South by Southwest and the country's only Formula One race being on football weekends doesn't help.

I'm sensitive because one of our military leaders is a congenital liar. Sleep well tonight knowing that.

College Station is even more ridiculous when it comes to hotel capacity on game weekends. Paid less for a room in Austin for the 2010 game than I did for rooms in CS for '09 or '11.

Your fans are pissed right now. Traffic and hotels were not a problem for attendance when Mac was competing for titles. Hell, Yall had to expand the stadium after the natty.
