Wow. Very surprised. I wish I had the money to go because I would definitely buy 4 tickets to the Outback bowl

People don't enjoy mediocre bowls.

I bought two from LSU and could not get club seats.

Thats just awful. LSU brought 8/9 thousand this year to Athens. LSU can do better than this

They're going to lose a lot of money on this bowl.

I don't know of any of my friends or fellow tailgaters that are going to the game.

You answered your own statement or question. Traveling to Tampa requires discretionary funds. The economy is better than the past few yrs but I know several big Tiger Fans who are upper middle class level who just aren't going to spend the money this year... Not a down vote on the bowl - just have higher financial priorities. I think LSU will still have a nice crowd but not like usual.

I'm going and I'm excited about it. If nothing else it is a chance to get the hell out of Baton Rouge and spend NYE in Tampa.

Lucky to have 4k actual there.

Sorry, not dropping 2-3K to fly to Tampa for Iowa in a meaningless bowl game. Just not worth it.
Posted on 12/23/13 at 9:08 pm to toughcrittercrumb
Any word on how well Iowa is selling their tickets?

Of course, that was before I found out that you can't fly from Houston roundtrip, stay a couple of days in a decent hotel, and rent a car, for under a grand.
Tickets are sold.

People buy cheaper tickets on the secondary market nowadays.

our fans are fricking pathetic, i could understand not wanting to go to atlanta but not selling out tampa looks terrible. we are going to get fricked in future years because of shite support

That's the flip side of the bcs, the other bowls have become even less meaningful than before. They should just dump all the bowls and have a 16 (or 24 team with a first round bye for top 8) playoff or go back to old system.

IMO it's cyclical. What would cure the malaise would be a few really shitty seasons with no bowl game. Then, if LSU got into a bowl, the fan base, starved for something positive, would show up in droves. We are victims of our own success....now it's all or nothing....upper tier bowls are boring because our fan base has grown to expect more. We were excited as hell to play Michigan State in the Indy Bowl back in the 90's. Filled up the stadium. Yep, some shitty years would cure most problems. (Ticket prices...parking costs...etc.). ...at least for awhile....until the program got big again and the cycle repeated. Oh...and now it's all about winning whereas it used to be about the experience. We don't win, nobody shows up. That being said, I don't want to have any shitty years.
