They sold 12,700 tickets. In last year's Orange Bowl, tickets went for 99 cents by game day. Attendance was 57,851 of the 73,602 tickets sold, only because you had to buy tickets in order to see the championship game. I see you are from Iowa and therefore truly are a fan of the program, but facts and history tell us Iowa will not sell all their tickets and neither will Georgia Tech. This game will have little attendance and even worse TV ratings. Serves the Orange Bowl right if you ask me. Well, Iowa played in the Outback Bowl last year (also in Florida.)

I'm sure Iowa fans travel well, my point is there just aren't very many of them. The Fiesta Bowl was bashed for foolishly taking both non BCS teams to play each other and making the Orange Bowl completely irrelevant. No one cares about two non-top 10 teams playing each other. Guarantee you Penn State vs LSU gets better ratings. Are we talking about the same Iowa with 3 million people in the whole state?

Iowa fans travel better than any other in the nation and that game will sell out with more people wanting tickets. ESPN bashed the Fiesta Bowl organizers for not taking Iowa and their strong following.
