My opinion obviously includes Missouri fans in this, but if we don't sell 55,000 tickets, it will be the lowest citrus bowl sales in a really long time.
Selling 60,000 tickets would make our point that we can travel and that the opposing team thinks we are worth their money.
If there aren't 55,000 in the stands, or if Missouri looks like they outnumber us 70-30 then I would bet that we won't be playing on J1 again( unless we win the conference) for a long time.
Selling the 8,000 allotment won't do us any good if we only bring 12,000 fans. We need to have 20k-30k people in maroon and gold for this to be a success.
