BS from what I saw of the potato bowl

[UNTflyer]

I agree.

[CMJ]

They probably sold 21K tickets. Apparently (from their messageboard) a lot of local Boise folks had tickets and didn't go.

[eulessismore]

When you're up in Idaho, as I am occasionally for family events, and the potato farmers start talking, you start realizing after a while that these are farmers who never really see their crops while they're growing. Maybe they're seeing something there others don't.

Beef O'Brady Bowl Attendance: 20,053

Looks like that UCF-Baylor BCS match-up really ain't going to be pretty:

UCF returned approximately 10,000 tickets to the Fiesta Bowl of its 17,500 allotment: http://t.co/u3da5uAuqZ

"I bleed black and gold" sounds kind of Satanic or something.

[CMJ]

I bet there are more fans at the Fiesta Bowl than expected. A ton of people are gonna buy them at market value through other outlets. They're not gonna pay the highway robbery prices that the Fiesta Bowl forces the schools to pay.

It's a BCS bowl. Every year I've lived out here, it's crazy on whatever day it falls on...and I'm on the other side of the valley. Tons of the people who go live in town, many pick a favorite and sit on that team's side or wear their colors. Hope a similar effect helps UNT on Jan 1st.

I went to the Sun Bowl last year, and the locals who just wanted to watch football far outnumbered the combined total of USC's and Georgia Tech's fans.

[Eagle915]

Yeah I went to the past couple sun bowls and it always happens like that. Fills up with more natives than anyone

[NM Green]

We have six in our group and am dangerously close to signing up 8 more. I think the walk up and last minute buy by out of towners and curious folks is going to be good. I was thinking 32,000 but we may get 40,000.

[shaneb]

We are bringing 12. None of which have been to a home game this year. Most of which haven't been to a home game in the last two years. We had plans for homecoming that fell through and I made the Tulsa game.

People are starved for entertainment in EP. Everyone showed up to cheer against USC because the players were bummed about going to EP and were vocal about it. Edited December 25, 2013 by UNTexas

LAME. Any chance you get to go to a new city for FREE, with a per diem and gifts on top of that, TAKE IT! Unless a bunch of them were from the area, BE GRATEFUL! Taking in new sights and experiences in a city you've never visited is freaking awesome. A lot of the time when I've traveled it's been on a shoestring budget. They get practically a red carpet treatment at every bowl, don't they?

Anyway, back to the topic, yeah, I'm hoping for a lot of walkups, and I wouldn't be shocked to hear that a huge number of them are alumni who haven't been involved in a while. I'm doing what I can to "sell" tickets by trying to get some more alumni to go to the game that I get to watch on TV...small wins in large numbers, you know?

[UNTflyer]

Bump

[MDH]

So far only Las Vegas & New Orleans Bowls attendance figures seem legit.

[UNTexas]

It's a shame UNLV is bringing so few people. According to early projections anyway. I'll take the home game environment though.

[UNTflyer]

30,163 for Military Bowl

[wardly]

Little Caesar Bowl looked liked it had more fans than reported.

[UNTflyer]

Think the Texas Bowl was over reported.

[UNTflyer]

Allen-Pearland 5A Championship 54,347 (Honorable Mention)

[UNTflyer]

Pinstripe Bowl 47,122

[Ben Gooding]

Russell athletic bowl looks over 60k easy.
