Does anyone know what the reported attendance was last night? I didn’t hear it announced. I have also looked at various box scores and cannot find it anywhere.
10k?
26k
28,000 I think.
Chronicle says over 26k
Not enough. Let’s just get out in the open. This where this attendance threads go. Lol.
UH website says 26,253
According to Rice’s SID office: 48,427. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . jk
I would guess about half of this would be the actual butt count.
Showed up? No more than 12k. Abysmal.
Dump this worthless series and start a new rivalry.
Houston fans will not go and watch this.
It looked bad in the stadium I said it had to be the worst attended game there since the series started back up in 2000.
Correction it was 99 when it started back up I forgot that first game against them was when the Rob was remodled to open the 99 season.
The last one I was in town for at Rice was Sumlin’s loss to Bailiff. That was an alright crowd but there was suspense for that game.
I’ve attended roughly 80% of the ones at UH.
The Rice game, imo, is a bad investment. I know a lot disagree but I hate this weekend more than all the rest every year.
Hell, start a rivalry game with ULALA or Louisiana Tech. That would be more fun.
My favorite bucket was 2009
73-14
Absolute domination
Was packed 32k at Robertson
ULaLa gets my vote. I’ll be tailgating at Randol’s or Prejean’s!
If I were in charge of scheduling future years in the B12, I would offer home-and-homes to every FBS school close enough to make an easy drive. Proximity drives attendance.
UTSA, Rice, ULa, ULM, ArkyState, NTexas, SMU, Tulsa, Tulane… who am I leaving out?
Coogs had a large crowd in the visitors side upper deck.
Why would a Big 12 school start a rivalry with a Sun Belt or CUSA school?
Est 40-50
