I was thinking at least 30,000. Perhaps in the end there will be at least 30,000 Cajun fans at the game? I would venture to say that a lot of people will simply walk up and buy tickets while others purchased tickets through ticketmasters etc...

too early to tell because of potential outside tickets, BUT 18k is definitely too low because there certainly are not 12k outside tickets purchased....here is the bowl attendance history (and I dont expect SDST to bring more than 2-4k).

It will be bad if we dont break their attendance record, this is a one time shot to show what we can do, and if southern miss proves to be the bigger draw, they will be taken over us in the future when they have 7 win years (compared to our 8/9 win years...) on the other hand if we consistently win 8/9 games that should be good enough for sun belt title most years anyway, so its moot point.

2001 27,004 Colorado State vs. North Texas
2002 19,024 North Texas vs. Cincinnati
2003 25,184 Memphis vs. North Texas
2004 27,253 Southern Miss vs. North Texas
2005 18,338 Southern Miss vs. Arkansas State
2006 26,423 Rice vs. Troy
2007 25,146 Florida Atlantic vs. Memphis
2008 30,197 Troy vs. Southern Miss
2009 30,228 Middle Tennessee vs. Southern Miss
2010 29,159 Ohio vs. Troy

18k is more than any of those schools purchased through their respective schools. Attendance record will be broken Saturday night

Wisconsin returned 2000 of their 15,000 ticket allotment for the big 10 championship game. I'm pretty happy with 18,000. Move move move I would love to top 40,000 for the game overall. I guess we'll see.

I just saw on katc that there only 600 more tickets allotted to UL before encroaching on the Aztec side. I'd be willing to bet that a lot more bought tickets through ticketmaster than you'd think

18K tickets sold is outstanding. You can be sure that no other school has approached that number for the New Orleans Bowl. Do not be fooled about total attendance figures given. That number includes corporate sponsor tickets.

Local NOLA Q: How well is this game marketed in the New Orleans area?

[njustice]

The saints have worked out a deal where season ticket holders get tickets to the NO bowl for 10 dollars
