Football Bowl projections for Rutgers Football entering week nine

[e5fdny]

Who knows how accurate these numbers are, based on attendance being ticket sales vs. butts in seats? But here are the Pinstripe attendance numbers according to the Wikipedia entry on the game:

2022 Minnesota-Syracuse 31131
2021 Maryland-VT 29653
2020 COVID-19
2019 Michigan State-Wake Forest 36895
2018 Wisconsin-Miami 37821
2017 Iowa-Boston College 37667
2016 Northwestern-#22 Pitt 37918
2015 Duke-Indiana 37218
2014 Penn State-Boston College 49012
2013 #25 Notre Dame-Rutgers 47122
2012 Syracuse-West Virginia 39098
2011 Rutgers-Iowa State 38328
2010 Syracuse-Kansas State 38274

The two big bumps are when Notre Dame and Penn State were in the game. The cruddy attendance was Minnesota-Syracuse last year and Maryland-VT the year before. All other years are within 2103 tickets, which is just in the noise level.

Nice to see the B1G has won the last six games against the ACC, and seven of eight with the only loss being in overtime.

B1G teams that have not been to the Pinstripe: Ohio State, Michigan, Nebraska, Purdue, Illinois. We haven't gone as a member of the B1G.

And that's why it's more likely to happen, even if things play out the way we want on the field (7-5 or even 8-4). But if things change above us...who knows.

The prices are a rip off …and wait until you see the Pinstripe game day prices.. yikes
Bring a flask..drink in the car.

Take the airline savings and you should be able to have a few more beers.

I think the thing with the PSB is that you just lose the bowl experience. That goes for both the fan and the players. On the other hand- a lot more fans are able to attend. and as some posters have commented, the bar scene in the area would make it easy to set up some Rutgers gatherings, which could be a lot of fun. But again, you just lose the 3 day experience that you get when you have to travel.

We haven't gone as a member of the B1G.

And that, folks, is why Rutgers is going to the Pinstripe Bowl this year. There's a slight chance we go somewhere else at 8-4 but even then it's still almost certainly going to be NYC. 6-6 or 7-5, it's 100% happening. The Big Ten wants Rutgers there and the bowl obviously wants us there. So that's that.
