Do you guys think it will be split evenly or will Auburn take over the Rose Bowl like they did in Arizona? I'm not sure how well FSU travels.

Seems like damn near every AU fan I know is going to this game.

Auburn will have more fans there..... they have a jacked up fanbase. I've only run into a few FSU fans that even want to talk about the game.

I have two Auburn fans and one Florida State fan as friends on facebook. Both Auburn fans are going but the FSU fan isn't. Therefore I predict that the crowd will be 100% Auburn.

Anecdotal evidence is fun.

AU will take it over. Traffic is much higher on stubhub from al than fl and prices are higher in the au sections of the stadium.

Both fan bases travel well.

Yeah, I read it from my source on the twitters….60-40. Might as well lock this thread down now.

Very few schools outside of the SEC have fans that will invest the kind of time and money that big SEC school fans will. FSU is certainly not one of those schools.

For better or worse, SEC fans are just more fanatical about football and Auburn is right up there near the top of the list. I think they will have a noticeable crowd advantage in the BCSCG, like most SEC teams have had.

Ticket prices on STUBHUB are drastically higher on the Auburn side of the field.

Using Stubhub as a guide, the tickets in the FSU sections and the sections adjourning them are the cheapest available... Have also seen, but can not find, that the tickets are being purchased primarily by folks in Alabama...So I will go with 55% Auburn, 45% FSU and 5% neutral.

Friend just bought two tickets in section 17 off Stub Hub. He had no clue that was the FSU section.

FSU has an awful fanbase like all the other Florida teams. AU will have more there.

I've noticed that.

Ticket prices in general are going to be interesting in subsequent years with the "playoff." I would think prices are going to come down as there will be fewer people who can afford to take expensive back to back trips (not to mention fewer people who can take time off for back to back trips).

I'm thinking more like 65% au, 30 Fsu, 5 other. Also, there are a shitload of Fsu alums in south Florida. Flight prices out of Miami and Lauderdale are same as usual to Vegas and not that much higher than usual to lax.

Im going. Work with several Fsu alums in current and former firm and none are going.

I just don't see FSU taking a lot of fans. IIRC, they had a less than spectacular showing at the Orange Bowl last year.

We dominated the Glendale crowd with Oregon fans much closer than FSU

I think it will be a pretty large margin
