way to represent the SEC SEC SEC mizzou.

Looked to me like the camera views only showed the UNC side... may have missed it, but didn't see a pan of the Mizzou side.

Regardless, they are going to get killed in SEC.

Bigger question is ... why in the hell is the Big 12 associated with this horrible bowl? Same as Pinstripe?? Really? We need warm destinations, not these kinds of venues!

Announced attendance: 41,728

Independence stadium capacity: 53,000, expandable to 60,000

Works out to either 78.73% capacity on 53,000, or 69.55% capacity on 60,000.

Good work Mizzou!

Its not affilliated with the Big 12. Mizzou got passed up by all Big 12 bowls.

I see they still have the short goalposts. Well, that's all the mizzou I can watch for the day...maybe 3-4 minutes. Hope for a miracle from the tarheels.

It's not a Big 12 tie-in. The Big 12 had 8 teams for 7 slots.

A bowl game played the day after Christmas in Shreveport = lousy crowd.

Oops... I should have double checked before commenting... my error!

Not a horrible thing the replace the worst fans in the conference. There was .002% buzz in KC about today's game. Missouri leaving has certainly locked KC as a KU city.

At the Independence Bowl the cameras are on the press box side of the field and 80% of the fans (from both schools) are put on the opposite side of the field. With this camera perspective it should look like a nearly full stadium.

I think the fans on the press box side of the field are reserved for local sponsors of the bowl game.

All I know is the stands looked empty... which I agree doesn't make any sense...

The 8000 fans that stuck around to watch Davidson beat KU in the Sprint Center last week certainly think so. :smile:

I wonder what percent of buzz in KC Christmas generated?

SEC SEC SEC!!!

We get it loser move on, god you are pathetic.

Great showing attendance wise at the bowl game.

Great showing attendance wise at the bowl game.

Attendance was about 15K...about the same as a well-attended basketball game. You know what? Doesn't bother me a bit.

Nothing says fan desperation like packing a post-Christmas bowl in Shreveport. Have you been to Shreveport?

All I care about are wins and losses. I'm not so mindless as to blow a lot of money on some dumpy location during the holidays to watch two teams that never play each other. If I'm traveling for a football game, I'm going to a conference road game, with a better atmosphere and more reasonable prices.

You know who brags about fan attendance at minor bowl games? Teams that don't win very often.

I said it before: the only thing that should dictate post-season matchups is W-L record, and who you've played. When college football let southern C&V bureaus determine their postseason matchups, they did great harm to the sport. And if you think this bowl selection process is fair, then don't complain when you get squeezed out of a conference based on TV sets in your market, or something stupid like that.

Keep trying to rationalize your school's suckiness.

Sounds like you're just a bad fan for not supporting your team.

Hey it's cool, the seniors appreciated the massive support of people lazing in front of their tv set. Nebbie's pretty proud of their bowl attendance, they've won a lot. Even Iowa generally represents. It's nice that you think winning teams don't talk about their bowl attendance, untrue, but nice for you.

And you know who says fan support at a bowl game doesn't mean anything? A fan of a team with **** poor fan support. Please tell me you aren't serious with what you posted above. Heck; Missouri fans should have been all over this bowl since this is your new stomping grounds. There is no way there were 15000 people in that stadium. Heck, I literally could have counted them. I was shocked at how empty it was for two DI football teams.

You did give me a good laugh though.
