LSU Recent Fiesta Bowl: 57K total attendance in a 75k seat stadium (unclear how many were LSU) UGA Sugar Bowl: 55K total out of 79K capacity (unclear how many were UGA fans) No one travels well for these.
I wasn’t laying that at UGA’s feet, but rather bowl games in general these days. Bowl games were enormous when I was a kid. Today, they’re not even remotely the same importance as they once were. The fact that it translates to major bowls like the Fiesta, and Sugar especially is just telling.

A midweek trip to Nola, even with the cheap tickets, would’ve cost 2k or more for my family of 4. Just not worth the money.
