Sadly I'd say under. I won't be there, but at least did my part and gave my tickets to someone who would use them…

I would expect the student turnout to be great because Bucky has really made an effort to connect with the students

I'm very excited but on a Monday night playing no name school, I'm going to say under. Maybe in the high 8000s or low 9000s

If it's that high that's a start.

I bet there's 7-8 K which would be fine, but what matters is the experience.

These kind of games SUCKED under Buzz. Not only was our style of play not particularly exciting but the entire arena vibe was just bleh.

Excited to see if they've changed it up any or if the style of play alone makes it more fun, but I'm hoping the juice is back in the place this year.

I predict poor attendance in non-con/as long as Elko and the boys are on a roll

I'm going to guess somewhere between 8,000 and 9,000. Monday games are always tough to pull the Houston and Dallas crowd, and it's going to take some time for the student body a couple weeks to realize how fun the games are.

Unfortunately, it will be underwhelming, but don't know how much on campus mktg to students has happened. But, they are only alloted a certain section and as Luke states, many of us will not be commuting for a Monday game as too difficult to do.

Trev should get a paid count and then open up some seats to students at super reduced price (or free , but not Trev's mantra).

Define underwhelming? And my guess is any student that show up with valid sports pass will be let in

Probably no better "tickets sold" bump in history than that 9K+ number for Turgeon's first year, lol.

Don't discount the impact of Soulja Boy headlining Maroon Madness a few weeks before the opener

I'm from Dallas and drove down for the game, and paid one of my kids $100 to take the day off and go with me. It's my first Aggie game at Reed ever - I'm excited for Bucky Ball. Surely I'm not the only one.

I have 2 FREE tix to tonight's game if someone can use them (w/parking pass)? Plans have changed unfortunately. Want them to go to a good Ag who will yell loud! If interested, drop me an email. I will respond in order of the emails. (These will be transferred through 12th Man account)

Under 10,000.

The only November home games that may get above 10,000 attendance are UCF and Manhattan since they are Friday night games on home football weekends.

Last season
East Texas A&M 11/8/24 Fri (Home Opener - Football Bye Week) - 8,673
Ohio State 11/15/24 Fri (Football vs New Mexico State) - 11,658

I haven't been to a basketball game in about six or seven years and I'll be there!

10 minutes until tipoff. Pretty meek student crowd. Hopefully a bunch aiming for 7 pm.

Update: Doing better now. Maybe 75% in student section in lower. 0% in upper.

And comparing it to prior seasons, that is a nice improvement.

I figured that the "how's the attendance" thread was a good spot for it.

A lot of empty seats down low in here. Wish more people that couldn't make it to a Monday game would've sold or given their tickets to students or Ags. It's a fun game and atmosphere so far, but feels like a November basketball game for sure.

Why are chants or yells not happening on offense anymore? I noticed this stopping last year. It's wack. Make up a song, yell Texas Aggies (clap 5x), something
