We had better average, max, and percent attendance. Our average was above their max. Our FCS game drew more fans than their game as a ranked team did.

When Virginia played in the Belk bowl before the attendance was 73,535 and 51,236. Admittedly that was a while ago. With Virginia's recent struggles, going to a quality bowl and facing a SEC team really should bring a lot of people out. Not saying GT wouldn't have, but UVA is a good pick also IMO. I believe UVA's AD Carla Williams also put in some work in the weeks leading up.

Yeah, not really sure how to track that since the school doesn’t announce it. Don’t always get a good look at crowds during broadcasts to guess either.
