JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Buoyed by a sales response that had the University of Maryland sell its guaranteed allotment of 12,750 tickets in 10 days, athletics department officials announced today that sales for the Toyota Gator Bowl had been completed, with 17,000 tickets being sold and distributed.
"We appreciate the support our fans have shown and know they're excited about being part of the Gator Bowl experience for the first time since 1975," Yow said. "The fact that the Terps are making our third straight appearance in a New Year's Day-type bowl has energized everyone who loves Maryland football."
The game will be played on Thursday, Jan. 1, 2004 at Jacksonville's Alltel Stadium, featuring Maryland's Terrapins against West Virginia University. The game will be televised nationally by NBC.
