Any word on how many spring game tickets sold?

[brockytop]

My guess is the game being free and UTAD making profit off concessions/beer sales would’ve been the better play here, especially considering a larger crowd is a benefit for recruiting.

It’s $5. People will pay $17 for tasteless urine accelerator at a game, spend $20 in gas to get to a game, but $5 is a dealbreaker. Bizarre.

Going with 59,098

I know of 5 that will be there…

 

[Enigmatic_Vol]

35000 sold so far.

People spend more on a morning cup of coffee they drink for about 20minutes, but complain about $5 to be entertained by their favorite team for a couple hours.

Some will buy tix at the gate but I assume attendance will be below 45k.

 

[FirstAndGoal]

I can't believe anyone would gripe about a 5 dollar ticket to the Spring game. Attendance should be WAY above 45K. You're not going to experience a boring ass 10-7 snooze fest like the Florida Spring game last night.

Who’s griping? I have another commitment and can’t go regardless so it wouldn’t have mattered to me if they were charging $50 a ticket. I hope there’s a great crowd.

i wouldn't mind the $5 to watch squad practices if I didn't have to drive almost 200 miles to get to the stadium. So my big screen TV and streaming access, in this case, works for me.

Pay 8.95 for a small cup at Starbucks for tasteless mud water but $5 for a football game is a dealbreaker. Insane.

Pretty common for those carrying the Eeyore gene...... unfortunately for many it is a dominant trait.

Yep. Although I don’t think Starbucks is tasteless. It just tastes bad.

When I was going to school, 5$ would get you 20 cups of beer during happy hour.

Or a Munchies pizza.

Keep the poor out of Neyland! Been a while since I’ve attended a spring game but it was a very different crowd and demographics than regular season games. Lots of obviously less well off people and tons of kids.

Ah Quarter's. Those were the days

I believe that. The South end zone was closed off, but the rest was pretty full.

It was 58,473. What do I win?

And a pack of cigarettes they smoke

 

[smokeycoonhoundUT]

Crowd was big. I wish they would have opened up the south end of the stadium.

Couldn’t due to construction

Oh okay. That makes sense
