Of course, it should be noted that, based on the announced hot dog sales at Ford Field (yes, that really was a thing - a marketing tactic urging a hot dog eating competition between GT and UM fans), there may have been more Minnesota fans there. Then again, all the Tech fans had already eaten at the tavern before the game!
I can say, after living in Michigan half my life, Koegel hotdogs are f’ing amazing. And that’s what they were selling.

And I would have bought one, but they weren't selling them at the concession stand where I went to.

I was shocked at how many fans, especially Tech fans, made it! Regardless of who’s playing, no Bowl should be the day of or after Christmas!
Does anybody remember the All Star games that used to be played every year on Christmas Day? I think it was the Blue/Gray game but could be wrong. That was back when people would show up just because it was football. You had the North South game and East West game and Blue/Gray and All Americans playing the NFL champs and on and on. Then at some point people no longer wanted to go to a game that wasn't important or didn't have good teams or was on a bad day. Even some bowl games went out of business. Times have changed and so have I.

Paul Finebaum addressed this yesterday. Most sponsors don’t care about the attendance. These aren’t for fans. It’s programming.
