Do you have travel plans to watch Ohio state play at the Arizona Fiesta Bowl?
According to Ohio travel agencies the Fiesta Bowl this year is a tough sell.
The sluggish economy has most fans staying home for the bowl game.

Some local establishment are preparing for a big crowd on Monday by over staffing their workers and using specials to lore buckeye fans out.

Matt Neader, Assistant Manager of the Town House in Marietta talks about the preparations, "It being a school night it's hard to tell. We got some extra staff on hand to accommodate all the people that are coming."
Ryan Packer, Manager of River City Restaurant and Tavern talks about what they are doing to accommodate the rush, "We'll be running a selection of half off appetizers during the course of the whole game will also be giving away this lovely portrait of Ohio State Stadium. We have the big screens. There we will be running drink specials through out the course of the game. And our happy hour runs from 1- 7 PM as well."

If you are staying in you can watch all the action on our Fox channel at 8 PM.
