This was a cumulative effort of multiple games. I misunderstood you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what prompted my response. I was thinking more along with MBG but Regal may have been thinking something like the 1977 Plano vs. PNG game. Take it as you wish.

HGWar6 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Either way, I still think it's amazing we can draw more to high schools games than college bowl games. At least some of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you imagine how full AT&T would have been if the games weren't televised yesterday? I bet it would have sold out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If each of the three games on Saturday bring in 30,000 at minimum that will put them right at the 200,000 mark. I would guess it will land somewhere around 210,000. But still well short of the record. 245,913 in 2016 260,654 in 2014 Had 162,291 the year it was in Houston. That why it was moved back to the palace at At&t.

Only reason it was there in the first place was cause the NFL goofed on the Dallas schedule and refused to move their Saturday home game to away.

Wasn’t a short trip for either side, granted we play in DFW most weeks now but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOB Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 In the Same General Venue category: About a week later, the First Responder Bowl in Dallas drew about 16,000 (almost 12,000 paid admissions). It, of course, was eventually called off ... Not sure if the City of Dallas was refunded the $300,000 subsidy that it gave to support the bowl for the benefit of Dallasites.
