Meaningless Bowl Games

[onlyTheObvious]

Bowl games are like nfl preseason or regular season nba….knock yourself out.

Bowl games are where the camera operators are told to keep your shots low because we don’t want the tv audience to see all those empty seats.

Why would the TV audience care if there are empty seats?

Human nature. If there is no one in the seats, why watch on tv? And it’s more than obvious this has been done by the networks for decades, so please save the obtuseness.

It's never mattered to me. If the game is entertaining, I watch it. Covid must have been tough for some fans who base their viewing pleasure on in person attendance.

BYU vs. Colorado in the Alamo Bowl should be a fun one.

The Stormin' Mormons vs. the Fighting Deions!

Exactly. It's not practical to travel to all the good bowl games. Hell, if I don't think the game is interesting, but it starts to be a close match, I can flip the tv on and watch for no cost. Cant be a butt in seat on a whim.

edit - fan bases that don't travel well due to distance or because of cost. Fan bases that are not rabid but more casual. Game location that sucks (aka Shreveport, LA). all sorts of reasons the in person attendance shouldn't matter.

It doesn’t matter to me either, but I guarantee there’s statistics that the networks look at. Also, it’s just a bad look to see a stadium half empty in general.

The meaningless bowl games will go away when cities, sponsors, and television networks start losing money on them. I don't think that will be happening anytime soon. Bowl games are as big a part of the holiday season as Christmas trees and New Year's Eve parties.

No idea but it’s pretty obvious they do exactly what I said.
