I watched parts of Hawaii and Bahamas Bowls. I doubt there were 3,000 at Tommy Bahamas Bowl. Hawaii Bowl in a big venue had perhaps 5,000.

Fresno State had a losing record at 6-7 and showed it deserved that record as Rice Cake U. beat them 30-6.

I expect in a few years there will be a Cuba Bowl. They probable have a run down "football" stadium that can be adapted

Perhaps the announced attendance based on ticket sales will be much higher at these bowls but who think American Football when they think Bahamas? The Hawaii Bowl works when the Rainbow Warrior Thugs win enough to be invited.
