Is that tickets sold or actual people in attendance?

There's a famous picture from the 2010 FAU game that shows the stadium almost empty that was reported as a sellout.

ticket transactions likely, I wouldn't trust anyone's turnstile numbers regardless.

FAU '10 is ur typical UT crowd.. it'll get full, but unless it's a big game it may be 2Q before it 's full tilt. Third empty at kick, check out a 2Q pic and it'll be full.

Social event/country club crowd and it's been that way for a long time and likely not going to change.

First TX-OU game as a pup, few minutes to kick and the OU side is packed/has been.. TX half has huge gaps everywhere. I couldn't believe Texas fans didn't sell their allotment or even close. Father told me to wait til a few minutes after kick.. sure enough :15 later and it's full.

I'm Texas proud 100%.. first to admit it's an average fan experience given the crowd size (eventually) and history of the program.

Cowboys can be just as bad.. was at a game when Aikman lined up under guard and was too busy barking audibles to notice. Couldn't believe how few noticed.
