[NU Sports] Bowl attendance; perception vs. reality

[Beamsley, Jeff]

If you really care about it, there is something that you can do.
 
That's strongly support our bowl game wherever it is played.

The problem is that the bowl officials have seen that Dyche (oops Ryan Field) is half empty for most games.
