In addition, many FSU fans I know will happily attend the games and cheer for the Bulls, as they don't see us as a rival or a threat. That being said, I just think the increase is from a combination of an ever-increasing student body and alumni base, low cost, high expectations, and Skip Holtz being able to sell this program to the community.

Why wouldn't they just buy single game tickets. You know there will be enough to go around. Lots of fans don't wanna travel to Tally, this is a great chance. Some are probably fri he fans that could become Bulls You may be able to give some insight... How many do you really think might adopt the Bulls as a 2nd team? What made you decide to switch your allegiance (when USF started its football program) ? Edited August 10, 2012 by Mission9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as we put a good product on the field and keep the prices reasonable, we will pick up fans along the way. We'll most likely never convert UF, FSU and UM fans to die hard USF fans, but casual fans pay as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off topic a bit, Mizzou season tix went up largely due to sec, 45K We just don't have enough strong fans ... Yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
