Per The Tribune:
Less than 24 hours after getting their first New Year’s Day bowl invitation since 1962, the Gophers already had sold more than 2,500 tickets, senior associate athletics director Chris Werle said.
In one day of tickets sales for the Citrus Bowl against Missouri, the Gophers approached the final number they sold for last year’s Texas Bowl (3,375), which was up from 3,163 the previous year, when that bowl was called the Meineke Car Care Bowl.
“I think people are thrilled just like we are here within the department,” Athletics Director Norwood Teague said. “We’re honored for the state of Minnesota, and for the university, as well as athletics, just to be able to go to a Jan. 1 bowl. It shows what a great football program can do for all those parties.”
The Gophers have a 9,000-ticket allotment, and Teague said the bowl will help them get more if needed.
