Playoff Quarterfinal Attendance

[Go Lehigh TU owl]

From what I saw there is zero chance there were this many fans in Toyota Stadium last night.

I agree! The crowd was pitiful given the fact a Texas school was playing. The bowl games have morphed into a symbol of what is wrong with FBS college football. Its nothing but a TV show and the players are being exploited at this point and I'm not one to go down that road. But ESPN just wants football for programming, the participants are irrelevant so long as they put on a show for the network. That's what makes FCS, D2 and D3 so great! It's still about the in person experience. Just like with racing, go to your local short track. TV killed mainstream auto racing too....

It's unreal how many bowl games there are. I understand maybe teams 1/2/3 each conference but do we really need to see two 6-6 teams play.....

12 of the ****ing 14 teams in the sunbelt when to a bowl game! That is so stupid...

The Celebration Bowl smoked all of these as far as attendance.

For comparison, here are a few of the G 5 bowl games from yesterday:
New Orleans Bowl. 14,485
Louisiana vs Jax State
Myrtle Beach Bowl. 8,059
Ohio vs Georgia Southern
Cure Bowl Orlando. 11,121
Miami OH vs App State

Update on the G5 Bowls

Toasters Bowl. 5,632
ODU vs WKU

Frisco Bowl. 11,215
UTSA vs Marshall

There is no way there were 11k at the frisco bowl. If there was 2500 they were lucky.

ESPN has these G5 leagues by the balls. They are nothing more than space fillers for the “money and exposure”,

The only other people there were the ones who got tix from the games sponsors.

I would guess more than that at some of the Bison pep rallys the night before the game.
