I saw that too, but did not think it was newsworthy.  Sure the school has tens of thousands of alums living in the San Diego area.  Sure the UC has a sister school in that town without a D-1 football team, and in most places the students and alums from that campus would be ready and eager to support the original UC.  Sure, the event is just a day trip away from Oakland area.  Sure, there are probably a few thousand undergrad students that will be at home, in the San Diego area, during this holiday season.  So logically, there should be 40K, 50K or more with fairly direct ties to the UC system ready to support the program.

But this is the same C.a.l team that was unable to get ~20,000 people to take BART to go across the bay to see their team in San Francisco or at Candlestick.  So it is not shocking that only 7,000 are willing to buy tickets to the Holiday bowl.

These are things to remember the next time Stanford and C.a.l are up for consideration for the same Pac-12 bowl games.
