I really hope so!! Everyone who goes to the game on these boards needs to help there section get loud on 3rd downs.

Donr be scared to make yourself look like a fool. Wave your hands up on third downs and try to get your section involved.

Lets make it a loud 20k fans!!

I say 22k

Weather looks decent. Opening a new stadium will draw more of a casual crowd, at least early in the year. Coming off a good season with high expectations for another. Hometown kid at QB. Rice is a better opening opponent, but not sure if they will travel or really create that much more interest in the area than an FCS. Iā€™m going with 24, 261 ish.

Looking at the last 5 home openers on Labor Day weekend starting with 2024. We should beat that average plus a few thousand.

23k Grambling

18k NWST

16k SLU (it poured that day up until game time)

28k Grambling

24

I say 23k with a W to follow it

25

Ill say 24K vs Rice, and 28K vs McNeese (Weather Permitting)

Also, THESE ARE MUST-WIN GAMES.. Gotta WIN when the house is rocking!

I havenā€™t seen this mentioned but ole Tommy Boy McClelland is the new AD at Rice. Hope he enjoys the friendly confines of the visitors duck blind

It would be hilarious if this somehow made it on the jumbotron

Manā€¦whoever is running the scoreboard operations during the game please throw the Tommy Mac Lafayette move to the level of CUSA video up on there.

Facelessjonmoon beat me to it with his edit. Iā€™d put money into a pot for that to happen

Iā€™ll say 20k. Hope itā€™s more. But week 1 with some good games on tv. Iā€™ll be there. I was at the rice loss a few years ago. Revenge coming.

Anything short of a sellout would be extremely disappointing.

We all hate it. But the tiger vs tiger game is the biggest game week 1 (or second osu vs Texas at 11:00) and will keep 4-5k in front of a tv Saturday night.

Itā€™ll be announced at around 18k, but much less actually there.
