On the wiki entry it says stadium seats around 71k, think it'll be around 50k LSU fans?

LSU should own the stadium.
Even though ticket sales through LSU are lower, I think most LSU fans got tickets where they had to purchase the bowl game too to get better seats.

Now, I expect Lambeau to be mostly Wisky fans, I'm sure since it's considered another neutral site game LSU will get more than a normal visiting allotment.

Well I'm sitting in their section and they still have plenty of tickets available on their website.

I think LSU will bring the bigger actual fan base, but don't underestimate the 'JJ Watt' factor - he's a sports icon in Houston and his foundation is doing the Wisconsin tailgate. If he tries to rally the 'neutral' attendees, you may see a lot of red out there.

We'll be there (tickets through advocare website)

Even though Houston is well known for it's rich history and cultural aspects, I'm not thinkin the Scoonies are going to be rushing down South in August.

10k max at the game.

Wisconsin has money and travels.

60/40 LSU.

quote:

Wisconsin will have around 10k is my guess. Nobody is in a rush to go to Houston in August from up here. This weather here makes Wisconsin a great place in the summer. Labor day weekend at the lake cottage or sweltering in urban Houston? Easy choice for most. Add in the fact we lost so much and QB situation is up in the air and I think we travel less for this one.Band isn't even coming-which sucks for fans at the game from both schools. That said we really had a ton of fans in Tempe last September for ASU (25k range). But that is maybe more of a Midwest transplant area and it was on campus and not on labor day weekend and Phoenix is probably a more appealing trip than Houston. Plus, fans know they have a shot at seeing LSU at Lambeau. I expect we will travel better to Dallas next year to see Bama under similar cirumstances, but there is no return game from them and its Jerryworld and its Alabama. Houston isn't very appealing. We would have more traveling if this contest was in Baton Rouge or NOLA. Enjoy the home game Tigahs


ETA: Maybe I'm wrong. 80/20 LSU.
