Sugar Bowl does not want LSU to come to NO!

Exactly, more money from the out of towners from Auburn and Florida.


Actually, this isn't accurate...at least not for Florida fans. The last time they went to the Sugar in 2013, the Sugar Bowl had its lowest attendance since the 30s. Florida sold just over 7000 tickets of their allotment of 17000+ when they played and lost to Louisville. The largest attendance in the last decade (by a decent margin) was LSU vs Notre Dame. The Sugar Bowl CEO said they actually do very well when LSU is in it because they know all the seats will be filled and LSU fans spend a lot of money partying in the city for the week leading up to it. They usually have shorter hotel stays, but they actually fill up more hotels than would be expected.

Because Florida didn't give a shite about playing Louisville. LSU fans show up the night before or day of the game. Florida and Auburn fans stay the entire week. Tickets are the least of their worries, it's the tourism that matters. LSU fans don't really bring much to the table since it's mostly Louisiana residents
