re: How excited are y’all about Citrus Bowl?

Another poster mentioned lsu doesn’t travel well to Orlando. Hate to say it but aside from a game in Houston or Dallas, and definitely what people experienced in Atlanta last weekend, this fan base doesn’t really travel well.

Weird.

We traveled well to the first Citrus Bowl (Capital One Bowl back then) against Iowa, but not since then. With the air sort of going out of the balloon at the end of the season, I didn't expect us to travel well to Atlanta and I don't think the majority of folks are too exited about Orlando either.

As far as LSU fans not traveling well outside of games in Texas, I don't think that's necessarily true. We traveled well to the Fiesta Bowl in 2018 and we brought over 30K fans to the Peach Bowl in 2019. Thousands of LSU fans made the trip up to Lambeau Field in 2016 and out to LA in 2021.

Despite the fact that we did much better than most expected this season, the end of the year was kind of a bust. With the holidays coming up and nothing really to play for other than a 10-win season and some momentum going into next year, people may decide to stay home and spend their money elsewhere.
