This section looks pretty packed. I assume they are Hoax fans. Hard to tell as there are a lot of colors other than maroon being worn. It's hard to get a feel for the overall attendance as ths is the widest shot of all the photos on the news star site.

Anyone know the max capacity of Independance Stadium?

That's some sad looking people. I didn't realize they gave tickets out to the homeless shelters in Shreveport.

There are a few pictures on La Polytech's BnB site...could of popped off a few rounds with a 12 gauge in the 3rd quarter and probably not hit anyone.

They could not of counted 40k in that place, even counting both teams twice when they entered the field at the start of both halves.

I would like to see Ohio's take on the I-Bowl compared to the NO Bowl since they have now been to both. We can probably validate our claims.

I don't know if 3rd qtr pics are representative of peak attendance. I think a lot of people probably left by that point rather than sit in the freezing cold to watch that beatdown. I know the end zone sections had a fair number of folks as could be seen after the first PAT while it was pretty empty by Ohio's fourth score.

Two thoughts on Farmer's original interview: 1) His comments about "facilities and fundraising" being the two most important things is great...but we are now 3 years or so later and we have not yet unveiled a plan through which any major fundraising MUST be coordinated and driven...and 2) the comments about "regional conferences" has recently been shot to hell.

I expect for there to be any sanity in all this conference realignment that eventually (within 5 years) the fallout will be regional conferences ... at least I hope so.

I do agree that it MAY eventually get to that...and surely HOPE that it does. But his comments were made 3 or so years ago...and we are no where NEAR that. Things have gone 180 degrees from what he expected/predicted.

The Techies are having ball over ULM's bowl blunder.

And the bonus is they're _____ing about not being there. They still have butthurt even while trying to bash the Hoax

Wiki says 53,000. So, you're telling me you were able to fill up 80% of the stadium... O ok. This is complete bull____ guys. I personally hope they did sell allotment so we can have some of the revenue share.

If it wasn't the NOLA Bowl? Where would we bring the most fans?

1) Shreveport - I'm just guessing but I doubt if we have many alumni here. My guess we would bring 20,000. Also the stadium looks like it isn't very nice.
2) Dallas - A long haul for Cajun fans. My guess we would bring 10,000 - 15,000.
3) Houston - Second only to New Orleans for alumni. My guess 35,000 - 40,000.
4) Mobile - Still close to New Orleans for our alumni there. Four hours in a friendly nice little city, my guess 35,000?
