[Vision2020] The Rose Bowl...

[Bill London]

What I found most interesting about the Rose Bowl was the information in
the Lewiston Tribune that the bowl had very low attendance, and that
thousands of WSU tickets remained unsold.
Why--if 5 years ago the WSU tickets all sold and many at inflated
prices--did WSU not sell out this time?
