Re: Nova Home Loans Arizona Bowl

East side would probably fill 75% of the ZonaZoo/band area, and at least as many folks on the West side. There could be 20k or more. I think that's pretty good for a first year bowl with two teams from the SAME group-of-five conference. The Raycom Camellia Bowl is about the same level as the AZ bowl...
