SMU will probably travel better than Akron, especially for a Saturday game. But I expect local turnout to be poor. My daughter is a current student and she was pretty bummed.

For the committee of the Boca Raton Bowl, I would think for credibility sake they would want something other than the local team. Once was fine but twice in 3 years might not be wise.

Nah, the Boca Raton Bowl actually gets a decent audience every year. This is because ESPN actually markets the bowl in the community (unlike FAU) haha. I expect attendance to be mid 25k.Posted On: Dec 8th 2019, 6:39 PM #391855
Tickets sold, maybe. Butts in the seat about half.

Lots are corporate sponsors tickets that are given away and never used. I don’t know about ticket sales but I’d expect it to be the norm (15k) for attendance.Posted On: Dec 8th 2019, 7:05 PM #391860
SMU could travel well

Everyone talks bad about our attendance issues and I get it we have a 30,000 seat stadium so it’s empty most of the time. But, Yesterday’s crowd was a rocking 15,000 especially on the FAU side. If we’re drawing 15k a game, even 10k, it’s actually quite a bit of people when you think about itPosted On: Dec 8th 2019, 9:15 PM #391865
Looking back on it we were probably a bit ambitious to have a 30k stadium. Probably should have stayed in that 20-25 range. Would look a lot better too

We are lucky to have a stadium like this one.
Look at the new training facility.
Our attendance could improve, actually Lane Kiffin mentioned on ESPN that he was missing the game day experience. FAU just needs time.

Maybe 15k tickets sold, not a chance there were 15k butts in seats.
