Horned Frogs' fans need to step up for opener

Ticket sales are shockingly low, something that has become a worry for all parties involved, starting with TCU.Granted, it's a high-dollar ticket ($150 a pop for the 10,000 prime seats, going down to a low of $45), by far the highest in history for TCU. But both schools approved the ticket pricing.
Oregon State is a good team but obviously not a local draw, and if the Beavers bring 5,000 fans, that will be considered good. Mainly, it comes down to how many fans will TCU bring.
"On our schedule, it's not a home game for us [because of conference TV contracts]," Patterson said Wednesday, "but the bottom line is this is our home game.
"It's no different than playing Utah last season (when 50,000 showed up at Amon Carter). We have to have that energy from our fans. We have to feed off that to win this kind of a game because of the kind of team Oregon State is bringing."
Current ticket sales are hard to nail down, but based on several sources, it's probably no more than 25,000 at the moment. If things don't change dramatically, it's an embarrassment waiting to happen for TCU.

You can only charge fans so much before they fight back and in this day and age it's just easier to stay at home and watch it on tv.

Oregon State is certainly not a "name" school. They hae not won the Pac 10 Championship in 30-40 years now. You can not expect to draw a huge crowd at those prices. This is not USC they are playing. It is Oregon State.
