Its a slap in the face. First and foremost, after years of bowl drought, Vandy players and fans DESERVE to travel to a new place and have a fun and exciting bowl experience like every other college bowl bound team. Second, the positive economic impact that Nashville will lose (regardless of what the rest of you believe) will be a have a HUGE impact on businesses, especially the ones downtown on west end, broadway, and 2nd Ave. This bowl game is what most of the businesses use to float through the winter months when the droves of people frequenting our fair city subside during the cold months. Many of these businesses may now go under do to lack of the weeklong bowl activities we usually have. <BR/>The only real reason that Vandy could have been stuck here is that they were last on the list (meaning Kentucky did not want to come back for a third straight year). The Bowl Committees number one goal is to bring cash flow into this city, and this year, with a slim Boston College fan base who will likely sit at home and the Vandy fans who will brave the cold (most of which are the same ones who would not even come out to watch the 11-1 Titans beat the Browns at $5 a ticket) will NOT spend a dime more than they would have if there was no game at all. HUGE dissappointment for the city of Nashville. The Music City Bowl Committee Failed HORRIBLY on this one. 4000 tickets out an allotment of 11,500???? Last year it sold out quickly, and the REAL reason the moved up the deadline, was so they could get the rest of the tickets back to ticketmaster to try to hock them on that site. The only plus side of all this is that you can find lower bowl tickets for $45 on craigslist. Ive already bought mine, and yes, Ill be eating at home before I head to the game, after all, its cheaper.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640778288989151924.post-87094826400518015082008-12-10T17:56:00.000-06:002008-12-10T17:56:00.000-06:00As I think was said in another post.

Selling the ticket is the most important thing! Every ticket you don't sell is lost revenue that you can't get back. Hotel revenue, spending money around town are all a result of the person first buying the ticket. Getting 2500-3000 students back for the game (even if most stay in the dorms) will have more of an economic impact (and make Vandy look better) then if 1000 came back and they got hotel rooms. Not to mention I think people from out of town will stay longer which will help the impact on the economy of Nashville.Douglas Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09239502832772753923noreply@blogger.com
