Not to get technical but I thought the student section only accounted for 1072 (full capacity). That's where I thought they got the whole #Operation1072 thing from.

1072 is the number reserved for students. If students show up and there are unsold seats they won't turn anyone away. This is how we got to 1500 students thursday.

It looks like they have blocked out 1,553 seats for students for the rest of the season (not available for sale online)

We could use every one of them today and the rest of the year!

RE: Still LOTS of tickets available.
Create an environment of winning and success, and tickets will become increasingly harder to come by. We aren't where we need to be, but we are trending in the right direction. Haase could make UAB all that he dreams, but it's going to take more time, patience, and hard work.

My row was full for the first time this season. Usually there's nobody on it but my 2.

We keep winning and it will be. The crowd was loud and into the game as well. My only complaint is that the students didn't turn out the way they did Thurs night.

Had the students shown up as before, probably would have broke 8,000 mark.

Great to get nearly 7,000 folks for a game against a team like North Texas. That's an indication to me that we are reaching the tipping point.

Good step in the right direction. The team needs to do its part and keep the streak going.

There was a major Greek event on campus tonight that fragmented the student turnout.

Winning takes care of some many things...tonight had absolutely nothing to do with the opponent - this was all about people coming to see UAB

So you're saying there were only 300ish students at the UNT game after 1500ish against Rice? I wasn't at either game, but that doesn't sound right

Student section wasn't full, but half the rows in the upper deck were filled. Maybe 70% capacity, which isn't terrible.

We win the next two games on the road, I'd be willing to bet we sell out on Feb 4th/6th.

The folks sitting behind me said that a good number of tickets were given away for this game. Is this true?

Who's giving tickets away? I'd like to know. I pay for mine.

No joke. I had to buy mine too, unless they were given tickets by a season ticket holder who wasn't going.
