I think BYU could get a great turnout for a legit bowl game at a better time. This is not the Orange Bowl, so I see very few folks getting their family together for a game a few days prior to Christmas and traveling to Miami (my guess is there aren't many LDS fams that would drive to Miami when compared to LV).West Coast is best!Yes, but how many fans will travel to Miami? 25% of the fans that would have traveled to Vegas? LV Bowl was far better for the team bc of large fan turnout.
Traveling to Miami would be an expensive proposition for most BYU fans. Will be curious to see what the turnout is like.

I attended every BYU visit to the Las Vegas bowl and loved it every time.Even though I live in Vegas, I would much rather go to a bowl in San Diego or San Francisco, or even Florida. It's more intriguing and different and nicer surroundings. And you can park on asphalt instead of dirt.Vegas Bowl > Any bowl we've played as an independentWhy is that any different than the MWC? We lose one and we get LV Bowl, then it goes downhill from there to a lesser bowl. With Independence at least we down move down the bowl list with each loss and possibly get left out of a Noel with a 6-6 season.We lose one game and we are headed to our predetermined bowl. We go undefeated and maybe we get in another bowl. This is the problem with being an independent.

I miss the Las Vegas Bowl.
As an independent, once we lose a game there is no fight left. Just get to 7 wins and it's off to Miami. In the MWC, you still had to fight or at least there was interest in the fight. The MWC champion got to go to the bowl. The others got the bowl crumbs.
