So does the fact that the game sold out mean we sold all of our tickets? I don't know how that works if maybe we were able to return ours or sell them through the bowl to the locals.

Never mind, just read on Huskiewire there is no allotment that the schools have to purchase for this game. That should help with the final expenses.

Total attendance was 38,734 per HW

Again per HW
Ticket sales meet expectations: NIU spokeswoman Donna Turner said the Huskies sold about 1,700 tickets for Sunday night’s game, which met the athletics department’s expectations.

With the late start, it was funny how many left at half time. All the locals decided they had to work the next day. Game didn't start till after 9 pm eastern time.

The many delays didn't help, game was long as hell. I'm exhausted at work today, so I can't blame unbiased fans in the Eastern time zone for bailing on us.

Crowd looked good and sounded good on TV.

I am not blaming them at all. They came out and supported the bowl game. I would have done the same if no alligience to a team playing.

Did anyone here take the fan bus? I was told that it was so empty that the bus trip back was scratched. NIU put everyone on the team plane back. That would have been a treat if true.

We were also told the fan buses for students were sold out. Are you referring to the alumn fan bus?

I was told the fan bus trip down there was sold out. That was in last week or 2nd to last week of December.
