Baylor's stadium only seats 50k

they have only filled it to that capacity 6 times in their history and 4 of those were against A&M traveling in high numbers due to us being so close to them. The other two were against Texas (1960) and OU (2013).

their fan base does not travel for shite either.

they only bought 800 tickets out of 3k to their last game in Kyle Field.

They also returned 3000 of 3800 for their game against Oklahoma State this year.

That is pretty surprising considering they are building a badass new stadium. I thought their fanbase would be excited and actually attend more games.

On another note UCF and Northern Illinois are looking like they'll get BCS games, yet I doubt they'd travel very well (even though UCF probably has one of the largest enrollments in the country).

We have traveled well for both bowl games.

12,500 undergrad and a 50,0000 stadium usually leads to poor showing. Floyd Casey was simply just too large.

Our attendance will never be the likes of UT, A&M, any large public school. We just don't have the number of alumni.
