No one expects poor people to donate to any athletic department. Every community I've ever been in has poor sections.
Sun Bowl renovations??
- Thread starter FiliUTEP
- Start date
Why are you bringing up people that don't like sports? They are not relevant to a conversation about sports and every community has people that are not interested in sports.
And credit card debt, really? If people with credit card debt never went to sports events in this country, the stadiums and arenas would be basically empty.

The UTSA game got 31k because UTEP was doing well at that point. Unfortunately, they choked and lost 4/5 games. Also, you have to count all the UTSA fans, so it wasn't just people cheering for UTEP.
No kidding! But there are more poor people in El Paso than in a lot of other cities.
It's funny how you never answered anything.
How much do you donate and how much do you friends who can dine at Landry's donate?
Also, you clearly didn't understand my point. @JCorona said people have money if they can spend a couple hundred on dinner and drinks. Those people might not have money and are in debt.
I never said people with credit card debt don't go to sporting events.
Don't let people fool you. The person with the biggest house might be the person with the least amount of money to their name.
Why is it funny? Why would I answer a personal question from from someone I don't know from Adam.
LOL A personal question? All you had to do was say you and your friends don't donate.
Or you can just be honest. All the donation amounts are posted by the MAC. It's not "personal information".
Actually most of us on this board are not using are names. I'm sure your full name in not Denver Utep. I'm a small, insignificant donor. Just a drop in UTEP''s bucket. But the point in this thread has been that lots of drops can fill a bucket.
I donate $500 a year. It's not "personal information". Just strange that you think that.
And again, most people in El Paso aren't willing and/or can't afford to donate.
In town for the game. my thoughts: Game day experience needs some work.
New renovations are cool but by creating the VIP concessions area in the upper south concourse they have cutoff access to that concessions area for the rest of the upper sections on the south side. You can't access it anymore unless you are VIP. The concession stands on the main concourse on the south side were are all overloaded and it was at least 20-30 min to grab a beer. Why not some beer carts with ice where you can just buy beer. Put some on that upper concourse as well as the main concourse. Additionally, they have TVs above the concession stands but instead of showing the game, which would be good given how long you need to wait, they just have the menus.
Also, all the video screens except the large main one show nothing but advertisements. It's tough to see what down you are on, or really any Play clocks. No stats. Really distracting flashing video screens.
Music is too loud also

I agree 100%. Look at the attendance next home game. People can have a fun time pigging out and getting drunk, is it really that fun watching UTEP get clobbered week in and week out?
And what percent of those people even give a cr*p about UTEP anyway? Just because they’re in El Paso doesn’t mean they care about UTEP
Don’t believe he attended much less graduated from anywhere
Bingo. I never get the arrogance of some people who think that everybody in El Paso should support UTEP.
Retrofitted (old poles) as well the other @YsletaISD schools.🏈🎾⚾⚽
As Oklahoma prepares to enter the Southeastern Conference by 2025, the athletic department began seeking bids in April for all stadium lights to be replaced with LED fixtures, OU Daily previously reported.
OU athletics' request for proposal included a desire for "active lighting" and "light shows" which would provide "great fan experiences." Alabama, Auburn and Tennessee are SEC programs that recently introduced LED light shows to their game day experiences.
The existing light poles surrounding Owen Field were overhauled to support LED lighting, rather than being replaced. OU athletics initially stated in its proposal it hoped to complete the upgrade by Aug. 3, one month prior to the Sooners' Sept. 3 season opener against Texas-El Paso.
Attention tailgaters, make sure the flames in your grill are out:
