The Hawai’i Bowl is the easiest sell by locale but the hardest by cost. Being in Hawai’i is nice, but getting to Hawai’i for a bowl on Christmas Eve is an exercise in financial self-mutilation. So when you read, “Nevada has only sold ten tickets to the Hawai’i Bowl,” you have some degree of sympathy for Wolfpack fans.
Still: if it’s that bad from a school on the Western half of the U.S., how many tickets do you think Southern Miss has sold to the bowl, especially when airfare is $1,500—$2000 for one traveler?

Why?
Why would We expect anyone to pay airfare to go to a football game that is 1 of 35. I wouldn’t pay 2 grand.

airfare is ridiculous these days, only the rich can afford to travel now.

Yeah can't say I'm surprised
the team struggles to fill its home stadium on a regular basis, nevermind a chistmas eve bowl in Hawaii.
