HOLLYWOOD, Fla. (AP) — Jim Harbaugh is sure Stanford fans will show up for the Orange Bowl.
Even though the Cardinal are playing some 2,500 miles away from the home stadium they don’t always fill, Harbaugh is confident.
“We sold 8,000 tickets in one morning after the announcement,” Harbaugh said. “That’s more tickets than we sold last year to the Sun Bowl. And that was only the first 12 hours. Our fans and alumni are really excited about this trip, so I think they’ll turn out for us.”
No. 5 Stanford (11-1), whose only loss of the season was to undefeated Oregon (52-31), has already received ticket requests from alumni located as far away as Moscow after one of the best seasons in school history.
