These are the official announced attendance numbers reported by the bowls to the media. Keep in mind many bowls report attendance as tickets sold rather than turnstile numbers. Here is a quintessential example: The 2009 Orange Bowl between Virginia Tech and Cincinnati reported attendance as 73,602, yet the turnstiles only reported 57,821 people coming through the gates. Apparently 15,781 tickets were bought and not used.
