How to Get More People to the Celebration Bowl


if they wanted more they would do more - they have all year to do so - but in most areas the bowl game isn't about attracting fans as plenty would've folded - who remembers when the Independence Bowl was an attractive bowl?

I should have the Nielsen ratings for this game no later than Tuesday afternoon. Because of the comeback and multiple overtimes, It should be one of the best TV ratings of the year for HBCU football on network television.

Well now... look at what PV did. :)

One of the most revealing data points from the 2025 broadcast was the diversity of its audience. According to Grant, 63 percent of viewers were non-Hispanic black, 25 percent were non-Hispanic white, and roughly 7 percent were Hispanic.

We'll have 30+ kickers lined up trying to convince coach that they could make 2-2 FGs from those distances we missed and Taqueria Ruby on 290 gonna' get all the 24x7 business lol.

Soooooooo ... you mean to tell me all that talk about 26K and showing an early pic of the game was BS after the TV numbers came through?

It was the usual crowd

As people kept saying, ESPN doesn't care about attendance. Only the ratings and the ratings were highly successful

Think 41 bowl games is too many for college football? One TV network wants more

Of the 41 major college bowl games, 16 are owned by ESPN. All but three are televised by ESPN or ABC. And even the worst bowls are still ratings gold.

Wrong! Houston is winning and Hype friendly. Look at the rodeo now. It's growing every year. Black people coming from everywhere because it's hyped as the place to be seen. Look at the population and economy within a 5-6 hour drive of Houston.

I agree but the short notice and turnaround time combined with holidays and holiday travel prices creates a financial conflict of interest for many who would like to attend.
