Congrats on getting to your first bowl game in your first year as full FBS members! That's not an easy feat to accomplish. Especially as an Independent.
I look forward to playing you all in Orlando. I think this will be a good game. Hopefully with my Blue Birds coming out on top.
Hail Southern! GATA!

It is always great to have fans come over here to get their insight. Thanks again for stopping by. I wish I was making the trip down for the game but there are plenty making the trip. Should be a good time!

Welcome to the board, bluebird. I hear this is your first bowl game that's not played in the state of Alabama. Is that true?

Correct. We played in the GoDaddy bowl in Mobile in 2015, and the Camellia Bowl in Montgomery last year.

How are you ticket sales going? Eagle Nation always travels well. The Camellia Bowl last year had over 17k and a vast majority of that were Eagle fans. We've sold somewhere around 2.5-3k for the Cure Bowl already. I'd expect us to have 9-10k at the very least.

From the outside looking in, it looks like ticket sales are going fairly well but there hasn't anything publically said about specific numbers.

I've read , from the ticket office fan on our site, we were around 4k as of yesterday, but that doesn't include the ppl buying from somewhere else. I wouldn't be surprised if we bring at least 8k to the bowl to support Eagle Nation!

That's fantastic Eagle76. How has your fan base travelled in the past for bowl games or even the FCS playoffs when you guys were one of the elite powers there?
