USAToday: "Camping World Bowl is Officially Sold Out"

[heitclone]

I also noted this curious line in the article. "Also congratulations to the Notre Dame athletic department as it has now sold out more consecutive bowl games than it has home football games."

Since I know nothing about ND's consecutive home game vs bowl game sell outs, I must assume that they haven't sold out their own stadium in a while?

They sold out 273 straight games until this November against Navy, was the 2nd longest behind the Bugeaters.

We are doing our part. Driving through Pella now. Rented a car one-way, flying home on Frontier.

So a little research tells me that when they added the upper decks they added 18,000 seats. And when the lower bowl was renovated they ended up with 41,000 seats - all with seat backs. Doesn't quite add up to the stated capacity, but it is close.

So that must mean that a lower bowl "sellout" plus people starting to fill the upper decks must put the anticipated attendance at somewhere around 45,000. Does that sound about right?

If that's right, it's very impressive! Our fans are awesome! Whether it's an "official" sell-out or not, 45,000 can't be understated. I hate watching bowl games where it looks like the attendance is a high school semi-final game

And if it turns out the crowd is larger for their opponent, ND fans probably claim it's because of the honor of playing Notre Dame.

Probably? Absolutely they will.

This fan base still thinks Rockne and the 4 Horsemen era is alive.

I really really want the good guys to curb stomp the Irish. Steal their name and become the "Fighting Cyclones"

Driving straight through - arrival in stadium vicinity at about 6 a.m. Friday. Stopping overnight Thursday, arrival about 6 p.m. Friday. If going through Atlanta, try the HOV lanes. Go Cyclones!!

Reading that story, it seems that they're using "initial market" to mean the school's allotment.

Plus, the ND tweet referenced has been deleted and reposted without the term "sold out."


So, the game itself isn't "sold out" -- but apparently Notre Dame's allotment is.

Seems like their story was written in order to sell more tickets that we being held by some Notre Dame entity.

Tickets going for as low as $17 on stubhub.

I don't know how CWB counts sellouts. I also acknowledge that the article is from a ND source. All I know is ISU sold out its allotment and we have a solid reputation for traveling to bowl games that landed us in this bowl game. So it's all good to me.

Go Cyclones and safe travels to everyone.

I thought ND was disappointed in the bowl selection and match-up. Now they're claiming to be excited and selling gobs of tickets? Let's have it both ways, shall we?

Your wife is going for as low as $17 on stubhub.

No, his wife is going low for $17 on stubs hub.

This game isn’t sold out now and will not end up sold out.

And I’m not sure why everyone is calling Norte Dame’s fans arrogant. They have every right to be disappointed as their expectations are the playoff or bust.

Sorry, I checked again and his wife is now sold out. 60,000 booked.

Thats a ND problem.

Holy ****. They're Iowa fans.

At least Notre Dame has actually won something before

You're gonna sit there and pretend like that pre-WW2 Heisman winner doesn't count?

Okay Boomer.
