How many LSU fans do you expect in the actual stadium?


i don't think 10,000 are going to be there ... of course, with the economy, i think all of these bowls are going to give all schools a hall pass this year ... no way you can really judge a school's bowl attractiveness by how well they traveled in 2008 and 2009, imo ..

Oh well, I'm going to have a good time regardless. At least LSU sold tickets as that's the most important factor.

I think I figured a way to determine whether you really want the tickets or not... I had an old CC on file with my account... I ordered 2 from my account, my dad ordered 4 from our joint account.

They tried to charge my CC, got the email that it wasn't working, I forgot about it...so, they never shipped the tickets because they didn't have a way to charge me. Therefore I saved myself from eating 2 extra tickets.

This is beyond pathetically bad. People knew that LSU wasn't going to a BCS bowl at the time they requested tickets. The Capital One Bowl is the best LSU could've hoped for. It's the best of the non-BCS bowls, on New Year's Day, and in a city with lots to do. If LSU doesn't bring at least 20-25K fans, then I wouldn't be surprised if the Capital One folks look elsewhere next time LSU is in the mix. All they care about is revenue and ticket sales. If LSU fans don't seem to care unless the team is BCS bound, then send their asses to the Pappa John Bowl or some shite. LSU's fans used to be the standard against all other college football fans are measured, but not any more.
