Gotham Bowl: a short life for New York post season game
New York promoters staged the Gotham Bowl to lure teams and TV, but poor attendance and heavy guarantees doomed the effort. Nebraska beat Miami of Florida 36-34 in a game praised for play and stars like Claridge and Mira, yet only about 6,166 in attendance plus discounted youth fans filled the stands and the event faced strikes and cold weather. ABC later aired a taped version.
