One concern I had with the Big Ten Championship game was if our fan base would largely bow out of attending a bowl game after so many attended the BT Championship. I know that among my own group, while we had close to 20 come in for the BTC game, our large California contingent was largely absent.
I’ve been wondering if having the game in Cali, will we be able to pull fans largely who have been less likely to travel pretty far East for many of our last several bowl games. Remembering the incredible attendance for the Rose Bowl in 1995, and wondering just how large the West Coast NU alumni base is and if we can strongly represent even if we lost a large number of attendees who went to the BTC game.
