If only we were in the Big 12, every game would be a sellout

Why is that? If the hogs are playing at home they should always draw a good crowd.


Interest in football is declining nationwide and it's only going to get worse.

We were 2-6 and facing another 11am start. That’s different than being 2-1 or 3-0 going in to that SJSU game in a fresh season.


It's ok to be wrong sometimes.

You have to go back all the way to Oct 13th, 2018

The attendance argument is so played out.

We are awful. Football games are very expensive to attend.

Hell, even with free tickets, you're still out a few hundred.

When you're awful, your games are at 11:00 in the morning.

This cancels out anyone with children that play fall sports, period.


Get good and people will show up. It is THAT simple.


I don't go see movies with shitty reviews at the theatre, I wait til they're on redbox/hbo/Netflix.

I am now at this point with the football team.


You STILL have a wait list for luxury boxes, and as long as that is true, the financials will be fine.

Little Rock was definitely not sold out. I was in section 5, and there were 4 empty seats on both sides of me.

I dont even waste my time or money with streaming services. I just download the torrents off of Pirate Bay. Every movie and every TV show that i want to see for free.

No they weren't.

51,438 tickets sold

tickets scanned = ?

wms sold the least amount of tickets of any "home" game....and was the 2nd least amount of tickets of ANY game played - right behind Colorado State.

wms attendance was on par with Tulsa and Vandy - right around 40k.

Basketball gets regular sellouts. Can't remember the last football sellout. Maybe TCU last year.

Correct the last sellout was TCU.

The last sell out and capacity crowd probably was vs. Ole Miss in 2016. The stadium was rockin.

That was our last true home game vs. Ole Miss as well.

It was also our 3rd win in a series of 4 against Ole Miss and it was the last win at home vs. Ole Miss. It took playing in little rock for that to be broken. Ole Miss owns the rock.

But you have to count all the drunks on the golf course that didn't go in.
