How many Vol/Hawkeye fans in Jacksonville.

[Volngeorgia]

My guess:
30,000 Vols
10,000. Hawkeyes

 

[1725gatorhater]

I would say there is not to many now...since it is played Jan 2

 

[madbamahater]

Close to 30,000 Vols and close to 30,000 Hawkeyes

 

[Rickyvol]

My guess:
30,000 Vols
10,000. Hawkeyes

35k Vols
15k Hawkeyes

 

[1725gatorhater]

To be serious... I would say Vols 40K Iowa 20K

 

[wesvol]

I know of at least 1 Vol and 1 VT Hokie.

 

[jeffmcflurry27]

does anyone expect a sellout?

 

[BrewHawk]

15-20K Iowa fans. Not as good as our usual Florida turnout of 30-35K.

It has nothing to do with the opponent.

It's a 4 day weekend. One day drive each way for most Vol fans, 2 day drive from Iowa.

Using math and not calculus, which I've never found a use for, I'd say we out number them 2 to 1.

 

[HoptownVol]

Already a lot of Vols in Jacksonville. Here's a link to the UT Alumni Chapter with a schedule of events.

I'd say you're about right.

I will be close by in Ormond beach.

I went to Iowa to work the caucuses for a candidate in Jan 2012. If I lived on that frozen tundra, I'd sure as heck go to FL in Jan. The whole state may be there.

 

[volboy81]

I have heard ticket sales are going good. I would say at least 30,000 in orange

 

[wmcovol]

does anyone expect a sellout?

Stadium seats 80k. No

 

[Catbone]

Probably 50k to 60k total

 

[Volintheswamp]

At least 4 already in Jax. I bought bowl tickets for my family.

 

[parkvol]

does anyone expect a sellout?

UT sold the entire initial allotment. .. should be close IMO

 

[parkvol]

I for one am going and purely because we are in a Florida bowl. I was not all interested in going to Nashville, Memphis or Charlotte. No problem with me going to Florida in January. Don't be surprised if it's a sellout. Lots of Vol fans eager to travel. Don't forget it's been 5 years or more since we played in a Florida bowl game... or January for that matter. A lot to be said about that.

 

[tatud4life]

I know 2 Vol fans that will be there! :rock:

If I campaigned for Obama, I'd refer to him as a "candidate in Jan 2012", too.

 

[ckjoneskevin]

I was so so glad it wa in Florida, bought my tickets as soon as I saw.

 

[kiddiedoc]

From what I've heard about ticket sales, it may look like a home game in Neyland. #checkereverbank?

 

[lionfoorest]

Ik me and my beautiful lady will be there! And may possibly even treat our selves to a beer or two or 15!

 

[Weems]

I will be close by in Ormond beach.

Is that where you are staying or do you live there? I work in Ormond beach.
