Fenway Bowl ESPN Viewership: 2,111,600

”Both the attendance and viewership for the 2024 Fenway Bowl were extraordinary given the circumstances, making it a standout event of the bowl season.

The Weather: The game was played on a cold damp late-December day in Boston, a less-than-ideal setting for an outdoor football game.

How soft we've become. That IS football weather. And on GRASS.

That's what matters. 50% increase over 2023 which had local team BCU and had crap for attendance to boot.

Yeah 11th out of 13 games with a p4 team is meh but 50% increase is great

It was also the highest attended version of the bowl ever, with ~28000 fans in attendance for the game, driven by UConn’s proximity to Boston

What does that say about BC's proximity to Boston?

That British Columbia is closer in the minds of Bostonians than BCU is when it comes to supporting/caring about sports not starting with h or ending in y. I'll see myself out.

At least the B1G did what they wanted with the acquisition of Rutgers. They got their network on cable boxes throughout the region. That was the only reason they wanted Rutgers and on that front, they delivered.
