Re: Gameday Recognition Evidence
A guy on my plane to Denver saw a bunch of bison fans at the cotton bowl and wondered what we were in town for
Re: Gameday Recognition Evidence
The reported Championship game attendance was 19,802. Somewhere between 17,000 and 18,000 were estimated to be Bison fans. Between 1,200 and 1,500 were estimated to be Towson fans. So if the Bison did not make the Championship game, the attendance with the Towson fan and locals would have been about 1,802.
If UNH had won the semi-final and brought their fans ... what are we talking... another 1,200 to 1,500? That sellout crowd of 19,802 becomes about 3,000.

Don't forget the local community/sponsors would get stuck with ticket if there is low demand.

unh would have traveled fairly well. They are a traditional power, even if they can't get that title won.

How else do you tailgate in -20 temps. A good layer of fat.
Re: Gameday Recognition Evidence
We left right from the game last night. At a pitstop just inside Oklahoma a high school kid saw all my bison clothes on. Knew we played in the championship game. Waiter at red hot and blue was like man a lot of you guys have been coming down here for years!

Except this year many of those tickets would have already been bought by Bison fans. Many would have had to eat them.
Re: Gameday Recognition Evidence
We sat next to 3 kids who are A&M student. They came to see the Bison play after watching the KState game and Gameday. They were able to snatch their seats for $10 online.

I am into bodybuilding and I noticed that we had a very hefty fan base a long time ago.
