30,000 buying plane tickets? That's a lot of money for a lot of people. And remember those tickets are gonna be somewhat expensive.
You'll find that a lot of people will simply look at the difference between driving to New Orleans and staying with friends (or just coming back the same day) and spending 1500 bucks a couple to buy 2 plane tickets, rent a car, and get a hotel for 2-3 days and not go to Orlando.
Driving games, especially ones where you don't need a hotel room are going to be much better attended. And therefore more desirable for the school.
NOLA has a ton of alumni that will take the flight. It's also a twofer with Disney and Universal. Folks from Acadian will make the trip either driving or by flight. They laughed at 48,000 for the NOLA Bowl. I stand by my 30,000 plus it could be more.
