Nolebull813 Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 Just spoke to a guy who works with the Freedom Bowl and he said 4 slots are open for the Atlanta event. He also said there is going tone a Freedom Bowl in Ohio and has a lot of openings for that one. He said they are trying to make this a super showcase and the best event in the country.

Nolebull813 Posted August 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 When he said 4 slots I'm not sure if they secured any new teams and less teams from this year are coming back, or just 4 teams from this event are not coming back. But at least 4. He wants more Georgia teams in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lower operating cost and more revenue from increased ticket sells. They need to sell thousands of tickets for each game. It makes financial sense for the event to be successful. 4 GA teams to take on quality OOS teams would be ideal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are only 2 GA teams in it out of 12. They need more. Ideally it needs to be 6 GA teams against 6 oos teams. I get the feeling they want to make multiple events and keep it regional. Maybe just Southeast teams in Atlanta, Midwest teams in Ohio, etc. he didn't say that, but it seems to make the most sense 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah this freedom bowl was supposed to be about GA but it turned into a FL vs USA event because only 2 GA teams signed up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It big business up there. My guess is the Freedom Bowl didn't get up and running until well after that. North Gwinnett was the last team in. I seen and ad they posted and gave the Freedom Bowl their info. Next year should have more. Maybe 2 teams that play each other this week.

It's a shame both of the events this weekend are competing. Open communication could've avoided such a situation. Won't happen in 2019. Only 4 slots left unless these teams are so enticing they can boot some crap teams out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
