RE: Which C-USA teams could actually sell out their stadium?

Especially considering how good they've been lately and you get to play UTSA at home every other year which is obviously a huge game for us. If yall don't make it happen against UH then get us on the schedule. Maybe we can do it?
UTSA doesnt travel very well to Denton. But i have also been very surprised that we havent sold Apogee out. The opener against Houston in 2011 should have done it and the SMU game should sell out every time.
We suffer from the same problems that a lot of southern G5's suffer from. When the excitement is at it's highest at the beginning of the year, it's freaking 105 outside. Us diehards will still spend all day in it, drinking and hanging out and then trooping in the stadium and cheering our little hearts out, but a casual fan or local doesnt want to post up on 100+ degree asphalt and then go shield their eyes for half the game until the sun goes far enough down.
I would love to schedule a series with Texas State. I often work in San Marcos and have a ton of friends that would go to both games. We might could actually make that a sell out.
Shoot all of our best attended games have come at the beginning of the season when we have hope. When we combine relatively high expectations with hope then we get some solid attendance, see 2015, but then everyone figures out we suck after the first 5 games and then attendance goes downhill. Of course for the last 3 years that hasnt meant much.
