Crowd support almost certainly will be among the factors that will favor Tennessee in the upcoming bowl game. The University of Iowa is expecting to sell "roughly half of its allotment of football tickets for the Jan. 2 TaxSlayer Bowl in Jacksonville, Fla. Pam Finke, the university's director of athletic ticket operations, said Monday afternoon that the school [will ultimately sell] between 3,500 and 4,000. 'We're still getting some calls and taking some orders [but it's] slowing down' . . . . Bowl-ticket demand is sharply down from a year ago among Hawkeye fans. Finke said Iowa sold 10,800 tickets for last year's Outback Bowl."
By contrast, Tennessee sold "out its allotment of 8,000 tickets in the middle of last week. . . . The Tennessee ticket office has been directing its fans to the TaxSlayer.com website or to the secondary market for seats. At Stubhub.com, a block of upper-level, midfield seats were priced at $60.75 as of Monday afternoon." See Plenty of tickets remain through UI for TaxSlayer Bowl.
