Great job. Do you know how many sponsor tickets are kept by the bowl. I had trouble finding this listed for the N.O. bowl as well. Thanks

Also, Mitch Lane our starting safety will be back, Reffett our DC is now coaching DB's, Kolton is 100%, and Colby Harper may even be able to play a few plays. Now, just hoping the rain holds off. As for sponsor tickets I think it is somewhere around 20,000-25,000.

It looks like the record was set in 1997 at 50,459 for LSU/ND.

Wow. Only 8k away from breaking the record that included two nationally recognized teams.

I wonder what kind of walk-up crowd there will be fore the game? Any chance of 8k?

Only problem is there is a 50% chance of rain. I imagine this will impact the crowd.

Keep in mind, the 42,000 figure likely includes Ohio's 10,000 allotment, and there's no way they bring that many. The weather is also looking pretty nasty with thunderstorms in the area. 35k to 40k is probably a realistic expectation.

Ohio didn't have that great of a crowd for the 2010 New Orleans Bowl against Troy. Louisiana isn't exactly nearby for them. Their band made it though and they were fantastic.

Give 'em hell Warhawks
