Armed Forces Bowl

Postby feelthehorsepower » Mon Dec 30, 2013 2:36 pm

Navy pounding middle tennessee 24-6 at Amon Carter in TCU.

Decent attendance, not a packed house but at least 30k. They should have done it at Ford...

Ford is the perfect venue for that game - but Fort Worth is significantly better for the player/fan entertainment aspect.

Fort Worth doesn't have anything that Dallas doesn't have. Sundance Square is just a crappy version of the West Village. Dallas also has a decent transit system and wider variety of dining and entertainment options.

Fort worth is more middle class friendly. You can go or for less without having to deal with undesirables

Yeah, and SMU has a higher average SAT score for its students, too.

Armed Forces Bowl attendance 39,246 with neither team local. 40,000 last year. Actually, probably in the upper tier of non-BCS bowls as far as attendance is concerned.

Right, the Sundance private police just kick the homeless and lower class out. Works for them I guess.
