Just doing some math….50K/15%….7,500?
Thought that was about right.

Your assessment is fine with me.
Let’s make it even less for the rest of our home games.

No chance. I was there sitting across from the visitor’s side. 2K sounds about right.

The fans made an impact no doubt. Herbstreet on Gameday had some very choice words for us this morning. If we do what we’re supposed to do, October 21st vs Clemson could be big time environment

My seats are on the away side. Had plenty of aTm fans around us, very nice folks.

But what cracked me up was this one Miami fan down low (I'm in the 10th row, and he was closer to the field than I was) stand up and turn around to all the aTm fans...

...while he kept making the Johnny Football "money" move with his hands. He did it for most of the second half. Killed me every time...

The "show me" fans who didn't want to go and the athletic department should go find a hole and crawl into it.

"Waaah, waaaah, the last 20 years, my feelings, my heart has been broken so many times..."

**** all those "fans". Let them watch on TV and buy t-shirts on clearance after the season. Don't care.

I had a great time in the rain (tailgating) and surrounded by aTm fans in that brutal first quarter. You have to be made of strong stuff to handle the tough times.

And the rest of the game was fantastic. Stayed to sing the alma mater and enjoy it all.

First of all, attendance looked horrible. It did. With that said, those of ya'll who went, man ya'll made a difference. Ya'll deserve all the props. I live in Maryland and work on the weekends. I wish I could attend more. I really wish they would tarp the upper deck some and force everyone to lower bowl somehow

Man, don't sweat it. I was there. We had a ton of fans on the "away" side who were down in the Club underneath Sections 117-118-119. Place was packed. After the rain stopped, the heat was brutal. I understand it.

This was the view just before "official" game time (weather delay). It took some time, but people eventually got to their seats.

This. I don't get why this doesn't happen. Do you really need to sell season tickets to both upper end zones? The big "U" actually looks professional and the stadium size would be much more appropriate.

So this is your thing, you always talk from ignorance?

They are not "selling season tickets to both upper end zones". Those are single game tickets.

But keep yapping. We'll sell those tickets for Clemson.

Helpful response. I know nothing about the Miami home ticket sales process - that's why I asked.

But based on that, for games like Clemson, obviously don't use the big screen over one upper endzone deck. And really, A&M should have been in that category - but last season depressed sales I guess. But for games where you obviously won't need both upper decks for single game sales, Bethune or GT, cover one upper endzone up. It looks much better on TV and will improve the game day experience.

Not a chance there was 15-20% A&M fans. I would guess about half that max

Most were confined in the corner next to the East end zone (not close to full) and sparsely sprinkled throughout the stadium

15% to 20% of 49K would be 7,350 to 9,800. That's a reasonable number. Those corner seats were what we allotted to aTm, but there were PLENTY of their fans behind the bench. I was there. Who knows, with the "orange out", maybe the red didn't stand out in the mix, but I saw plenty of aTm fans.

And then they got quiet and we got loud. Problem solved.

Just shut your ignorant mouth for once, and stop doubling down on your fraudulent bullcrap. You weren't asking questions in a "seeking information" fashion, you were being a snide jackass asking insulting questions, as per your brand.

You've been exposed. You are wrong. Now you are talking about "don't use the big screen over one upper endzone deck"? What in the actual **** are you talking about? The corner jumbotrons REPLACED seats, you buffoon. This isn't secret information, you could take 60 seconds to read about the stadium on Wikipedia. Seating capacity HAS been reduced already, we don't need to do more.

What is next, you are going to tell us how 48,000 seats would be "right size"? Like it or not, we are not filling the place for Bethune-Cookman, THOUGH WE NEED ALL THOSE SEATS FOR CLEMSON.

All of you stay-at-home fans can stuff your passive-aggressive feels about how it "looked" on TV. I was there. I know what it was like. I chose to look at the field, not the upper decks. Find another thread for you to infect with your pessimism and negativity.

PS, great to see you at the tailgate!
