Sun Belt gets new bowl game in Orlando vs. AAC

[jllanclos]

You guys are thinking too small. Our first Florida bowl game will be in Miami, not Orlando.

The Sun Belt Conference may have its fourth bowl tie-in set with a new bowl game in Orlando, Fla., according to a report on Monday.

And btw, this bowl drastically lowers our chances of ever having to play in the Belt's other tie in, the absurdly terrible Camellia Bowl which will be played in a run down 20,000 seat stadium.

Where's that?

Montgomery, Alabama

I would go as well. The kids can careless about Cajun Football but Disney and Universal are another story. It think we would take at least 30,000.

I would be as optimistic if we averaged that or more for home attendance but we can't get 30,000 people consistently into Cajun Field in their own backyard, I don't think we are going to get that many going to Disney. Yes, I know we have brought more than that to NOLA but that is NOLA. A 2 hour ride down the interstate with a manageable weekend. Disney is much more expensive

Completely different situations.. We'd be lucky and I'd be shocked to get 8-10k. Let's not get ahead of ourselves here.

What we need is a bowl game in Destin/Ft Walton...most of Lafayette goes there anyway.

I think eight to ten thousand people would be a pretty good showing. Some BCS Bowl teams can't get 10,000 to a BCS bowl game.

Exactly. I'll be there next week

I'd love it. Orlando is only 2 hrs from my front door.
