Bowl Game Attendance
Myrtle Beach Bowl, 12,023. (Stadium Capacity: 21,000)
To see Marshall and Connecticut play.
After seeing that, I decided it would be interested in looking at the others played so far.
Las Vega Bowl, 29,750. (Capacity = 65,000)
Oregon State & Florida.
Lending Tree Bowl, Mobile, AL, 20,512. (Capacity 25,450)
USM & Rice.
Something or Somebody Bowl, Inglewood, CA, 32,405. (Capacity 71,500)
Fresno State & Washington State.
NM Bowl, Albuquerque, 22,000. (Capacity 39,000)
BYU & SMU
Frisco Bowl, 12,000. (Capacity 25,000)
BSU & NTSU
Cricket Celebration Bowl, Atlanta, 49.670. (Capacity 75,000).
North Carolina Central University & Jackson State University.
I believe it is possible that there may be too many bowl games.

Most Bowl Games are made-for-ESPN events.

Of course.
In many cases, getting to a bowl game is treated, talked about, written about, commemorated, etc., by schools as a great achievement, when the teams are mediocre at best.
If FCS playoff game attendance is considered unimpressive, it perhaps should be considered in the relative context of FBS schools’ unimpressive bowl game attendance.
