Hopefully, TCU can sell out their stadium for once. It would be pretty embarrassing to have Gameday come there and have about 1/4 of their seats empty like they usually do. I can't understand why the people in Fort Worth don't support a good program like that any better than they do.
The upper deck sold out today. I don't think there are many seats left in the lower bowl outside of the ones that Utah just sent back from the visitor allotment. If TCU had played either Utah or BYU on Saturday instead of Thursday nights any of the past four seasons, I would venture to say that most of the games would have been sold out or near sold out.
Not a lot of people in Fort Worth are connected to TCU. There also aren't a whole lot of TCU students/alumni either. Add in that most people in the Metroplex don't really connect with Colorado State, New Mexico, Wyoming, San Diego State, or UNLV, and would much rather go to JerryWorld to watch the Cowboys. Either that or they are one of the legions of fans of one of the large state schools. After that you don't have many fans. However I think BYU, Utah and Air Force are usually well attended.
