We would bring 30,000 plus. It would also be a nice change from New Orleans. You bring the family and hit Disney and Universal.
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.
You have that many for new Orlando because lafayette is really close... Much like Troy is to montgomery...
You would be lucky to have 20k there...
Even the sec has problems bringing 30k to the non BCS games... Give me a break dude.
