way to help out a bro league office

Just need 3-4k students to fill up the student section. Certainly not impossible, though, logistically it might get difficult if there's more or less than whatever is expected. I think there's enough Aggie students from B/CS and Houston that can make a quick trip that this won't matter too much. May not get campers/students in the aisles, but I think the students will show up for this. Especially after seeing how crazy the football game is...

Will be interesting to see how ticketing handles this. They need a way for students to check in that they'll be attending this game so they at least have a ballpark of how many GA tickets they can sell.

I don't think we will have a sparse crowd. Will be a sellout or close to it. I just expect to see less students than if it was a week later. And I'd rather it be packed with students than old folks from College Station

Absolutely - will approach 13k regardless. More students the better though and like bobinator said - will be interesting to see how they handle the unknown number of students that will try and show up.

Unfortunately if I had to bet now - they will sell way too many GA tickets to the public (to ensure a full house and make some extra revenue) and then the student crowd will inevitably surprise to the upside. Fire marshall won't be too happy

I assume the return game will be the last game of the season

Or any folks from Austin.

Could be good news, I imagine that game will be full no matter when it is. Might not be as rowdy as when students are fully back, but will still be a big crowd at a time we normally have small crowds.

This is actually the correct answer.

I'm going to tell my son to start a rival campout line at Reed for tickets to this game while the other kids are still outside Kyle

I think in every major sport every season we have this marquee matchup that everyone has their eyes on later in the season that rarely if ever actually pans out to be a big game.

The students will be there, make no mistake

Don't assume your reserved seats will be safe.

No doubt that if I got to make the schedule myself I'd have put this as the last game of the season.

So...will I or won't I be able to buy a ticket on the secondary market for a certain January game??? Asking for....a me.

Probably scheduled that way for TV. There wont be any major college football on that day except for the Bahamas Bowl.

Yeah I would be shocked if we don't have max students there for Texas. Out of 70k or whatever we have enrolled now.

It's not Christmas Day.

I used to get so angry at all the people that would only show up for the texas game.

How they handle tickets will be interesting. Do it wrong, and the amount of orange will go way up....

I doubt it. Just a matter of if there's empty seats.

I understand the SEC scheduled this game on 1/4 to start SEC play with a marquee matchup that will generate a lot of national attention, but I wish we are hosting Texas in February after we have played them in Austin on 1/25. Since Texas gets to host us when their students are all back, we should have been able to host Texas when our students are back. Still, this game will probably be close to full capacity because some students can make a drive of 2 hours or fewer from Austin, Houston, or Waco.

So A&M v tu in mbb is a "marquee" match up that generates national interest?

Huh…who knew!

If sip v OU is in late Feb/Mar it tells you what the sec thinks…that's a more lucrative rivalry to them, just like after 2025, the ag v sip football game is likely not in Nov since lsu is not playing arky every year nor are we…yet sippy is.

Ags v sip is a big deal here in Texas, and a bigger deal to us than sips…nationally it is just mildly interesting. The general fan talks about Ohio state UM, Bama Auburn, FL fSU…the numbers have shown that for years.

You do realize we play them twice, right?
