How many UTA fans were there?
If there were about 400 Tech fans there. Then I would guess about 1500 UTA fans.Originally Posted by TYLERTECHSAS
No mention of this game in today's News Star.
They were always such a commuter school - just wondering. Thanks!
Looked up box score and it says 1276. That seems reasonable. I would lower the Tech people to about 250-300.
It is also thier semester break. The dorms are closed.
Very good win - tough win
Very inconsistent officiating on both sides
UTA makes you play down with their clutching and grabbing
They have a FABULOUS FACILITY and CONCESSIONS! A PLUS operation

Anybody know what kind of actual average attendance UTA has for home games ?? Crowd looked really sparse on the broadcast.
Edit: Here is an article on the subject: http://www.theshorthorn.com/news/cam...a4bcf6878.html
It was an OK crowd. There were very few students at the game beside the pep band. The facility and adjacent dorm/apartments/parking garge were very cool with an urban feel and all first class. My guess was about 250-300 Tech fans and 1,400 total.
Quick count in our section we had about 15 rows that were all TECH fans with about 8 to 12 on a row then you had numerous smaller groups around the arena...
A good guess would be in the neighborhood of 200 Tech folks - very good showing

At Mens games in Ruston over Christmas break we had over 2,000 fans per game. Don't know Numbers for Techsters game Saturday.
And you guys were loud. WTG!!
The TECH crowd was a mixtures of fans who attend most home games and those from the area who came to watch the DAWGS. A very good turnout by both groups.
It was not a good game for our starting 5 but the bench brought us back and got the win. This is an exciting team to watch for many reasons but last night our bench strength was apparent. The bench played less than the starters but scored 69% of the points and got more rebounds.
Group Minutes % mins Points % pts Rbnds % rebnds Starters 108 54% 18 31% 16 47% Bench 92 46% 40 69% 18 53% Total 200 100% 58 100% 34 100%
This was a fun game to watch. I drove over from Ruston with my wife and daughter. When I found out tickets were only $5, I treated every relative I had in Dallas to their first Tech basketball game. They had a great time and want to go anytime we come back, including the the Army game at the Cotton Bowl. I expect our group from the Dallas area to grow to about 20 by then. This is a great market for Tech to be playing in. The recruiting opportunities are HUGE! The population of the Dallas area is about 5 or 6 times more than the whole state of Louisiana! We need to put more focus on Dallas than Shreveport for all sports....especially football & basketball.
It is bigger, but not nearly as big as you stated.
The 2011 official estimate U.S. Census has the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex at 6,526,548. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dallas–...orth_metroplex
Lousiana's 2011 population is approximately 4,574,836. http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/22000.html
