South Florida has won its last four games when playing in front of 60,000 or more fans at Raymond James Stadium.
The Bulls are hoping to make that five in a row Thursday night against Cincinnati, but first they need to get that many in the house. The Thursday night start makes ticket sales a little tougher, especially for families, but the school is making a push to get over the hump.
The student ticket allotment of 12,051 has already sold out, and the school is making more seats available to students in the upper bowl for $10. South Florida last did that in 2007 for the West Virginia and Central Florida games.
The team has also been hosting a series of "Breakfast with the Bulls" events this week at various sites around the Tampa Bay area, hoping to drum up interest in the game.
Assistant athletic director Chris Freet said ticket sales as of Tuesday morning are a little over 50,000.
