The Senior Bowl, played in Montgomery, Ala. and considered the No. 1 college all-star game, drew 40,646 this year. The other major postseason all-star game, the East-West Shrine Game in Orlando, Fla., drew 8,345 and is rumored to be going out of business, according to Hansmire.

Also Texas v. The Nation game is going to move away from El Paso.

That's not good. I really appreciated those games as good ways to get to know the lesser names in the draft.

I anticipate somebody will sponsor it or a new game will emerge in its place.

Orlando is a bad site anyways, imo.

Wow I would be super bummed....Gatorade or someone could step in and foot the bill without even blinking.

I hope it continues but it didn't draw when playing at Stanford. Moving to Orlando didn't help at all.

If Buffalo had a dome, it would draw 30-40K minimum.
