I'd say both Memphis and BYU both brought around 4,000-5,000 each. The rest were locals. That bowl has the opportunity to become a great bowl if a good tie-in is found. If it becomes AAC vs a G5, the bowl will tank. The teams were treated like royalty and had a VIP experience all week. They absolutely loved it. There's potential there. Miami did well

It was a lot of fun...

miami beach poobah was quoted in the miami herald the day after the game that actual attendance was less than 11,000. i dont know how many memphis took but it was 4 full sections - i was surprised with how many, 3-4,000 i would guess. BYU brought about half of that. the guy also said the bowl rotates to AAC vs CUSA next near and under no circumstances would the F*U's be in the game. he said selling miami beach hotel rooms was the primary intent of that bowl.
