A quick look at some FCS stadiums for playoff teams show the average is probably around 17 000 people. That's a little different than the Rose Bowl (92 000), Sugar Bowl (73 000), Orange Bowl (77 000), Fiesta Bowl (73 000) in terms of filling the stadium up with travellers.
I don't know where you live or what college you went to but I can guarantee every single playoff game the UT Longhorns are in would sell out. There is no doubt in my mind.
