I concur....students gone for the holidays, 30% of Warren County residents are recent (last 20 yrs) transplants from other areas of the country and will travel to their original homes for the holidays, etc, etc. Announced attendance will be adequate. Butts in seats will be another story. Prove me wrong Bowling Green.

In 1990, Warren County had 76,000 residents. Today there are 115,000.

How many people actually travel out of BG for Thanksgiving? I dont think its as many as we act like...All I know when I am on the interstate going back to BG Thanksgiving morning their is no traffic anywhere...I think its kind of overblown, Thanksgiving is on Thursday, the game is on Saturday! But I am glad to see its not just a WKU problem, but we will be lucky to have 10k for Saturdays game....

It got to the point a few years ago where I only will travel on Thanksgiving Day because there is so little traffic on the road. Its that way everywhere. I'll be able to drive home tomorrow and make record time.

There are a lot more people on the road in the days around it because so many places close for a few days over the break.

(I am not sure my family is overly thrilled with having to delay the meal until 2:00 waiting on me every year...but I don't really care for Thanksgiving in general...so they'll live)
