The Buffs’ season may not have wrapped up the way they wanted, but they definitely grabbed the spotlight. Honestly, how could anyone not watch when Deion Sanders is in the mix? The man is like a human highlight reel, as demonstrated by their game against BYU. It’s a perfect example of the star power that the Buffs bring to the table. It’s like the college football version of “The Avengers” – a display of pure talent, with Coach Prime playing the charismatic Tony Stark role, drawing everyone in.
Well, the fuss is not just about the game’s captivating fans on the field but also about creating history off of it. Believe it or not, Buffs vs. BYU’s Alamo Bowl game is the No. 1 most-attended game of all non-college football playoff games.
That’s huge, but wait until you read the numbers as Locked on Big 12 insider mentions: “San Antonio has 8 million TV viewers. The most-watched Alamo Bowl in history, the highest viewership for any non-college football playoff game in the last five years, $57 million in an economic impact, and local scholarships over 1.2 million and 95 million combined tea payouts, the largest in Alamo Bowl history.” That’s the magic of Deion Sanders’ presence.
Moreover, the 2024 Alamo Bowl wasn’t just another game; it shattered records and asserted itself as the new king of viewership, leaving previous bowl games in the dust. To put it into perspective, the 2010 game between Michigan State and Texas Tech held the top spot for the most-watched game for years, attracting over 7.8 million viewers. But fast forward to this year, and it’s clear who’s now reigning supreme in the viewership game.
However, that’s just the beginning. The Alamo Bowl didn’t just break TV records. It also brought a massive crowd of 64,261 fans to the Alamodome, making it one of the most packed events in history. This kind of turnout highlights the bowl season’s enduring popularity and emphasizes Colorado’s role in generating both excitement and revenue.
