cross posted rant/troll:

Yes it's a hostile title. I'm trying to get the Metroplex fan base pissed off so they will buy all the rest of the tickets. It's a 32,000 seat stadium. Sell it out. Paint it maroon.

The perception is that DFW Aggies want a game in the Metroplex but then they fail to buy tickets and support the Ags.

Plenty of SMU/A&M tickets avail:

Don't reply all pissy. Buy a ticket, or 4.


The Metroplexers constantly tell us how important a game in DFW is. They get their 4th game/yr in a row (Ark X 3) and can't sell it out.

I read a couple of weeks ago that SMU has ADDED seating to accommodate all the ticket demand. Someone is trolling.

Scarce. Easiest to park across the highway and ride the shuttle over. Very quick and easy to use.

MCAggie02- go to the ticketmaster link. Tons of upper deck seats available in the small stadium. They are adding temp seating in the open endzone but I don't know why. Maybe they expect a busy week of sales. I hope it's Aggies buying the seats.

It's not right at the stadium, but it's about a five minute walk.

I paid $96/ticket for 5 yard line seats. There's a reason this game isn't selling out.

Freddie, the closest DART station is Mockingbird Station across the highway which is about a 15-20 minute walk depending on traffic.

I've done it a few times and its not a bad walk at all.

SMU provides a free shuttle from the DART station to the stadium.

Please forward this to the team. See what happens when you lose to mediocre SEC teams such as Florida.

Ags should just show up for the first half and leave after the FTAB plays.

Dallas doesn't have nearly the density of ags as Houston. That and they are from Dallas which makes them a little subpar to Houston ags. SMU is a rich kids school and most people in Dallas who didn't go there will tell you they hate the rich *****s that did. To sum it up Dallas sucks balls. If I were there I'd just watch the game at Milo butterfingers.

what was our ticket allotment anyway?

I imagine if the game isn't full its b/c SMU fans dumped their tickets b/c of the beatdown they suffered to Baylor.

Mockingbird station is the equivalent of about four or five city blocks from the stadium. Having to wait for the walk accross central takes you a couple of minutes but it is an easy walk. A shuttle isn't necessary.

Dealing with SMU stadium is probalby about 10 times easier than dealing with any other stadium in the world.

It's basically ideal for visiting fans.

Quite a few tickets left....I'm surprised...

Anyone who hasn't been to Ford Stadium...you will be closer to the field than any other place you go, so don't be afraid of the end zone seats...yes parking isn't great, but you don't have to hike that far...closer than at Kyle anyway...

I'll be there!

I need reasons why Houston is better than Dallas. I know the humidity and traffic are exceptional down there...but I need more proof.

Houston is closer to College Station (aka motherland) than Dallas is....so ipso facto Houston is greater than Dallas.

You guys are really going to like the experince at this game. SMU is nothing like A&M but with the stadium there, it is a really nice sized school in a really great location, at least for Dallas.

And as said there are no remotely bad seats and plenty of good bars close by (walking distance).

Houston isn't full of a bunch of stuck-up dbags that have no reason to be.

damn, I just checked their website, its $95 a pop for this game regardless of where the seats are. No wonder there are still available tickets. When I saw them play UTEP last year tix were something like $25 each at the gate.

It would actually be cheaper to buy a season ticket package and then just sell the rest.

It shouldn't be too hard to get your money back either since they have TCU and Houston at home this year.
