Your one friend obviously makes you an expert.
I already said that many will travel distances. Most though are not coming from the big eastern cities where CFB isn’t that big of a thing . They are coming from places like where I live and they travel in big numbers. Not so much at ND anymore. ND has plenty of population around it and is one of the biggest programs in the nation. The fanshave just voted with their feet. I also guess that Lincoln Nebraska also has a huge population area to pull from to fill its stadium.
