2011 Sun Bowl Attendance (Utah vs Georgia Tech): 48,123
Hmmmmmm. And they thought Miami, which draws poorly at home, matched up with a team that can’t fill its 30K seat on campus stadium in the Polousse would be a good draw. LOL!
I’m not sure who benefits from the “icing.” I’m guessing the organizers of each of the lesser known bowls would be happy to break even. Sponsor gets their exposure, the bills are paid… etc.
