That said, it would make sense that “The Powerhouse” (as so advertised when you arrive at Hobby airport) which has 7x the enrollment of Rice and whose alumni are largely still in Houston (why leave when that UH Class Ring gets you into any board room in Houston) would have more fans than the small, second-tier private school.

UH fans are being gouged with the ticket surge price and lack of concession attendees, your lucky that of the 26K in attendance we brought 20K, you will see a dwindle of UH support if this crap continues, it will take real leadership at Rice to get this rivalry done right, put money into the overall stadium not just and endzone.

UH did not bring 20K; 13,000 - 15,000 max, and more likely 11,000 - 12,000.

We're also coming off of a 1-win campaign...

When we are winning or have history of compelling product on the field, we bring fans to home games. 2008 is a perfect example of how home attendance is strong when teams are good. Attendance was over 35,000 and I don't remember there being such a strong disparity between the two sides.

I do think UH brought a majority of the fans to this game, probably around 15k-18k if announced attendance was 26k.

You're nuts if you think Rice only had 8,000 - 10,000 in paid attendance (which includes no show season ticketholders). Also, given the heat, both the Stadium Club and R Room were packed. I watched the first half in my seats, then moved up, as did many, many others.

Even then, I think RiceLads numbers aren't far off. Remember, we reported 20k against LaTech last year. The visiting side was waaaay more empty.

This is what the stands looked like


vs this last year LaTech


Then again, Rice attendance numbers are all over the place, so who knows. It seems reasonable that UH brought 15k and Rice brought 11k.

I'm basing my opinion on the total attendance number, and then guessing what the split was based on the stands split. There appeared to be more fans on the visitor's side than the Rice side, and the Rice side had a decent amount of red in it.

So I'm guessing that it was ~60% to 70% UH fans in the stands, so around 15k-18k (assuming 26k total).

So your discounting the season ticket no-shows and the Rice fans who opted for the air conditioned R Room or Stadium Club? Also keep in mind, that many, if not most, of the fans in "red" on the Rice side were brought by Rice season ticketholders who have purchased a block of season tickets. I was seated next to a few of those myself.

I actually like the old stadium vibe I get at places like the Big House or HRS. The place still looks and feels great, so while renovations are always welcomed, I much rather see a game there than at any of the CUSA stadiums I've been to (about 5 of them) or UH's. Some of the newer ones in our conference seem ready-made, like they were built in a week, and I could care less about concession stands at college football games that I care about. With the endzone facility, I'm glad there's a commitment made to staying HRS and wish it were used more often for the bigger games.

I said the same about Robertson, i defended it but it did not change that it was a dump just like your stadium, and to charge visiting fans a surge priced ticket with little concessions is problematic for a rival that brings the lion share of the fans. Im just saying that Rice leadership needs to step up and make the changes to the stadium for the FANS!

Concessions at HRS are abominable. I've been griping about that for the last 30 yrs. You stand in line for a coke for 20 - 30 min. Which fans are going to come back and watch another game, after missing the better part of a quarter trying to get something to eat/drink?

It's all about the fan experience. That's why it's insane to have a day game in September - nobody sitting on the east side of the stadium will come back for another game, even in the fall. The heat is brutal. I don't give a rat's about tv - work around it for gawd sake.

There is no working around TV. It's here to stay.

How many people does the R room hold?

I technically am discounting no-show season ticket holders. I think the split was about 60%-70%/40%-30% UH/Rice fans. And I used the total announced attendance to get my estimate for the # of UH fans.

The attendance split (on a percentage basis) is what's important to me, and UH definitely won that battle, and by a healthy margin.

Give us a good year or two, and it won't be so bad, and may reverse course.

UH fans considerably outnumbered Rice fans, and that's ok. That's how it should be, given the relative numbers of alums. If UH had better fan support than they do, attendance would have been closer to 40,000.

No shade even on west side for a 11 AM game except under the overhang.

That's because the sun is almost directly overhead during a game starting at 11:00 in early September. That and the start time dictated by TV are related.

Which could be one reason why the reported attendance was closer than usual to actual attendance. But then, that means that many of the relatively few UH fans that came did so in part because they got free admission.

Rice needs food trucks with a student-developed app that allows advance ordering & payment for all concessions. Just pick it up 5 minutes after ordering from your seat.

Or a way to preload your ticket card or an app. Then scan and go.

So just for all of u fans who want to go see the biggest game of the year at "Whose House" next Saturday at 11am vs Arizona, who per CBS Sports is the 36th ranked team, hurry now as they only have a few still left (at $20) on the 50 yard line (though the top row of a 40k stadium). Plenty available all over the place. Seems to me that for a university that has more students than seats at their home stadium, not to mention alumni, their "fans" need to actually show up before they complain about HRS.

I fully expect tickets to hit at least $150 in the endzone upperdeck on seatgeek any day now as the clamor reaches an ear shattering level.

Team needs to learn vectors. Receivers need to give qbs better throwing lanes and qbs need to throw better. The offense is sound but can be a lot more consistent.
A couple plays stood out. Rice SS was covering middle under and ran to spot and was looking back to qb and wr ran a post right past deep and underneath coverage for TD. SS had no other threat and should have been looking at wr and not into backfield. Should have wheeled under the post and not worried about running to a spot and looking back to the LOS.
Receivers have the same lack of vision. Run routes to spots and create little separation (another way of saying throwing lanes aren’t helping the qbs).
Get this fixed and pass defense is better, pass offense is more consistent and running game maintains productivity.
There is enough potential on the field to be good now and elite in 2 years.

Nice to get a moral victory, but only time will tell if that was a step on the road to respectablity. I am sure that is because we were expecting both games to be lopsided.

Don't misinterpret my comments. I like Bloom and I love Rice. I am happy to have won PV and happy with our showing against UH-1, especially the first half. The second, not so much. We are not most fanbases though, we are different, a difference I have celebrated since I was a freshman. I like(d) being a part of the difference that is Rice. But in the end, the year will be rated on Ws and Ls. We are 1-1 and happy about it.

In the predictions thread, I predicted four wins - PV, UTEP, and a couple of games that Coach B would steal for us. That is looking good at this point. But I will celebrate the wins, and mourn the losses, and not take comfort in moral victories. I guess that makes me weird, for a Rice guy. If a guy in a weird fanbase is weird, does that make him normal?

I think we're 'happy' because it gives us greater hope that we will get those 4 (or more) wins. Nobody (almost?) was counting this a win before the game. We lamented the previous win because it didn't give us a lot of hope for 4+

Having said that, I feel that just as we did in game 1, and likely between games 1 and 2.... UH didn't show their whole offense. They probably showed more than that had hoped to show just as we did vs PV, but they didn't show all of it, nor did we.

As I and others have said... we shoed enough against UH to convince me that we can be competitive in CUSA, which means we should win a few there. None of them will be top 50 or likely even top 80 teams, but we lost to some of them last year. I wouldn't say we're 'happy' with the results as much as we're 'happy' with the direction.

Thank you for noticing

I've always said that my expectations this year would be more qualitative than quantitative. I wanted to see Rice quit beating Rice, and hole at the back of the secondary to be plugged. If those both happened, I believed we would win more than we lose. One of those things has happened, and that might be the only one we get this year. That's still a step forward.

Something that UH does for the fans is free water, especially the Sept and Oct games. Rice does not offer this or at least on the side I was sitting, it's stuff like this that goes a long way for Fan experience. I will leave this, I was impressed with your team and coach, good things are to come for Rice football, I cannot say the same for Fan experience at Rice Stadium.

Rice spent at least 50 years not giving a damn about the fan experience. That's how you drive fans away in droves. That, and putting a lousy product on the field. I'm optimistic that we are now headed in a different direction on both fronts. But I'm also realistic enough to know that Rome was not built in a day.

I know for a fact there are water fountains on both sides.

Well then obviously Rice needs to the stop CHARGING for the water fountains! :)


I read an article somewhere that millennials don't like to drink from water fountains. They will fill bottles from them, and drink from the bottles later, but they will not drink from the fountains. Apparently letting the clean water from the fountain sit for a while in one's own used, unwashed bottle seems more sanitary.

How does UH give out water? Is it bottled or cups or water fountains?
