I have been saying for years that fair admission on game day should be doubled. 12 hours ago, 4th&Five said: holy shit this! we were walking right by big tex 15 minutes after the eyes and 3 mom's with strollers/wagons are going against the traffic of everyone exiting the stadium. *moms

October 15Oct 15 This was from 3 games ago, but they had one person trying to scan tickets to get into stadium at the gate we were entering and it was taking forever. People were just either blowing past them by maneuvering around this barrier or college kids were scaling this ledge that was after the ticket check point. Cop stationed there gave zero fucks about any of it and could not be bothered to restore some semblance of order. It should not be too hard to make some improvement to the entry/ticket scanning process.
October 21Oct 21 https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/state-fair-of-texas-2025-numbers-less-visitors More than 193,000 people attended the fair that day with more than 148,300 going to the football game, fair officials said So it’s a extra 45k people, I think they could wait until 2:30 to let them in.
October 21Oct 21 i clicked through to the article just to make sure there wasn't a typo...... this quote is probably the best evidence ever documented in history demonstrating the incompetence of the people that run the fair...... "148,300 going to the football game"....... cotton bowl capacity: 92,100 how can they be off by 56k? and sorry hornbri, you slept yourself missing the above +++ if 193k is a real number for that day, and they are not counting staff, media, ops, vendors, etc..... then 101k is the number for 'potential lost attendees' if they made the fair "game only" for that day which is 5% of their attendance this year adults this year were $29 all-in tack on an additional $29 to all game tickets and lock it down at the perimeter - no game ticket or no fair credential? - not getting in if you pay to park and then leave before kickoff you get your money back at the exit

The Other 55k just walked in since no one bothered to check game tickets at the entrance to the fair (at least our entrance). But it is shitty journalism so who knows.
