- Sharp is also expanding enrollment relatively quickly, which results in more and more former students each year. A small percentage wanting to continue to see games in person can sell a lot of tickets.
- Before they built New Kyle, they sent out a survey. I told them I didn't want a huge increase in price, and they provided cheap seats in the end zone. I appreciate them satisfying my needs.
t.u. is reducing the size of their stadium because they're having attendance problems lately. Their attendance went from 98k to 96k. Our attendance went from 100k to 102k last year. Expansion of the stadium was the right move at the time and I think Kyle will continue to be mostly full for conference games.
I think the price of oil is a bigger threat to our attendance than the convenience of watching on TV.
