They are already selling them out when they play them. Tech has been to

a few in Atlanta, all easy sellouts. Now they limit the teams that can play in them each year, but they have been wildly successful.

Apparently People are Watching These Bowls
HOO86 • 01/02/26 03:39 PM ET
Serious question: does recording a game on DVR count as a viewer?**
MP4VT2004 • 01/03/26 02:47 PM ET
Yes, it does.**
CobbCountyHokie • 01/06/26 03:48 PM ET
Thanks!**
MP4VT2004 • 01/06/26 04:35 PM ET
I have heard it does count, watching on phone at game too, please get WIFI!**
Stech • 01/05/26 02:05 PM ET
I was watching. A lot of empty time during the holidays.
HouClone • 01/02/26 08:17 PM ET
They're watching the bowls with the compelling matchups, same as ever
Synaesthesia • 01/02/26 05:44 PM ET
The % growth needs an asterisk. Measurement is different this year
HokieAl • 01/02/26 06:34 PM ET
This is the real result

Attendance at the Christmas week ones was down looked like.
HOO86 • 01/02/26 06:46 PM ET
We’ve had the TV on with bowl game noise in the background…
Calamitous • 01/02/26 04:39 PM ET
For networks that is ALL they care just like clicks on the web**
1947Sunbowl • 01/02/26 06:07 PM ET
How about this, schools can pick to play either Pre-Season or Post Season
Stech • 01/02/26 03:50 PM ET
Nobody is going to preseason bowl games

Stech • 01/02/26 10:39 PM ET
They usually play them in Atlanta, New Orleans, Dallas, and Vegas
mrcaniac • 01/03/26 12:04 AM ET
Why can’t they play some in those indoor MLB stadiums when the team is on
Stech • 01/03/26 12:16 AM ET
Not all baseball stadiums can host football games
mrcaniac • 01/03/26 12:27 AM ET
Agreed, but we would have way more options to play up north where weather
Stech • 01/03/26 07:55 AM ET
The key words.....
2hhoop3 • 01/02/26 10:55 PM ET
No hotter than ⚾️games, better than Fenway/Yankee Stadiums in December.
Stech • 01/02/26 11:11 PM ET
The statement.....
2hhoop3 • 01/02/26 11:16 PM ET
Mentioned Atlanta where the Braves play outside all July and August, cancel
Stech • 01/02/26 11:31 PM ET
You should take your own advice......
2hhoop3 • 01/02/26 11:37 PM ET
Got it, cancel Major League & LL Baseball in August, too hot for the fans.
Stech • 01/02/26 11:47 PM ET
The fans aren't the only factor in the discussion. As I noted in another
VTHokie2000 • 01/03/26 03:42 PM ET
I get that argument, I don't agree with it because practice is harder than
Stech • 01/03/26 03:50 PM ET
Why do you assume players risk of dying only occurs during games? If you
VTHokie2000 • 01/03/26 06:47 PM ET
I said opposite, practices r harder than games, I don't get why u r asking
Stech • 01/03/26 06:51 PM ET
Because you can't make Week 0 officially the new Week 1 without it
VTHokie2000 • 01/03/26 08:01 PM ET
Okay, we are not going to agree on this, one week change is already happens
Stech • 01/03/26 08:18 PM ET
The reason the Week 0 games are played is because the participating schools
VTHokie2000 • 01/03/26 09:09 PM ET
I understand your point of view, someone else will decide this, not us.**
Stech • 01/03/26 09:42 PM ET
I don't disagree that the schools will ultimately decide whether to change
VTHokie2000 • 01/03/26 11:07 PM ET
You mentioned VT playing in Atlanta preseason football games, which were
RJHokie • 01/02/26 11:58 PM ET
Why didn’t he say that? He starts with his insult but wasn’t direct like u.
Stech • 01/03/26 12:08 AM ET
It was pretty obvious to me what @2hhoop3 was saying.
RJHokie • 01/03/26 09:15 AM ET
Thanks for trying......
2hhoop3 • 01/03/26 09:27 AM ET
LOL you still haven't said why they can't play more preseason bowls if they
Stech • 01/03/26 10:13 AM ET
Like I said ....
2hhoop3 • 01/03/26 10:54 AM ET
Thanks for not answering the question again, you be you.**
Stech • 01/03/26 10:55 AM ET
I have no reason.....
2hhoop3 • 01/03/26 11:11 AM ET
Still can't answer the question about why they can't play preseason bowls,
