With the title partner renewing its agreement for another two years and the Pac-10 Conference providing a school for the first-time, Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl is nearing a sellout for the fifth annual game at the 44,008-seat Amon G. Carter Stadium.
“I think Bell Helicopter’s renewal along with a school from the Pac-10 challenging one of the nation’s most improved teams this season has sparked the interest for college football fans in this area and throughout the nation,” said Tom Starr, Executive Director of Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl. “We have sold over 42,000 tickets for the game and hope to announce a sell out before the game.”--
