Bowl Predictions

[techman05]

Some of these projections have us playing against the entire state of Louisiana . They must think we are very formidable.

I’m game! Let’s go for it!

[techfreak]

The greater Orlando area has a population of around 2.6 million. Do you think Tech would average 40k if we had that kind of population in North Louisiana?

It depends. Is the Tech game at the same time as the LSU game?

You will just have to check 2019 with Frontier added. Plus I typed Tyler/Longview so add Longview too.

Can't know for sure, but I would bet Tech/Miami would have better attendance than UCF/Miami.

.......Oh....plus, UCF-Miami has a chance to draw a MUCH larger TV audience than we do. There are over 21 million people living in Florida, including about 2.5 million in the Orlando MSA, and another 2.5M in Miami's Dade County alone.

This is a no brainer for the Indy Bowl.....again, provided Miami will let it happen.

I put longview in there (East TexasxRegional 2500)

25000

OK so I fudged. Probably around 150,000 at least this year with both. Wait to grab the 2019 figures.
Shreveport still needs a real airport that charges like there isn't any kickback under the table to locals or somebody in Red Stick. Heck they rob you just to fly to New Orleans.

I thought I read 250,000 so I was confused - which is normal.

I don't think it a "kickback" deal. S/BC is just too close to DFW. Do need an affordable "shuttle" flight to BR/NO, though, but the Fleeman days are long gone, unfortunately.

AMEN to that.... I would much rather fly out of Shreveport than Dallas, but the prices are crazy.... My oldest is flying in from Colorado this morning. I had to book him to Dallas and I hate navigating DFW - plus by the time I get to the airport, Shreveport is much closer.

How much extra to fly to Longview?

Shreveport is a better option than Love Field?

He could have flown direct/non-stop into Tyler from Denver on a Frontier Airline jet that holds 170.

United has direct flight To Denver here in Shreveport. I doubt prices can beat Frontier, but frontier only flies Monday & Friday

[champion110]

I am going to check out Tyler for next time. Shreveport was outrageous and Love Field didn't have what we needed. We can switch around days next time, though. Good info on Tyler. I didn't even check them this time. That would be a lot easier than navigating DFW every time.
