The stadium seats 61,348 following renovation this year (expandable to 65,194).
Past years' attendance:
2014: 56,629
2013: 59,712
2012: 61,351
2011: 61,519
2010: 63,025
2009: 59,681
2008: 69,748
I'd think it will continue the trend since 2010 of declining attendance and come in at just shy of 55,000.
54,852 is my official guess.

Because of the renovations I think the trend reverses and locals turn out for the game in higher numbers
58,123 is my official guess.

Isn't the Alabama-OSU game on at the same time. I think some locals might stay home and watch that.

Nope. Playoff games are later (start at 4pm ET). We are the same time as MSU-Baylor though.

Yep, playoff games will always be on their own with no other games going on at the same time.

Even though Minnesota and Missouri are fresh teams that haven't been to this game in the past, I don't think either has much attraction to locals in the way a legacy Big Ten or SEC program would or if there was a Heisman/NFL caliber player on hand, nor are there many locals who follow the teams based on past success and TV viewing in the manner of a Nebraska or LSU. Having family in the Orlando area, I can attest to the fact that there are locals who make the Citrus Bowl part of their New Year's tradition and will go regardless of the match up. Lots of local corporations and sponsors will buy and spread around tickets too, not to mention charity give aways. My guess is they'll announce about 57,000 with closer to 50,000 on hand. The capacity post renovation is 61,000 and change.
