The official attendance for tonight's Pro Bowl is 70,697, the second-biggest crowd in Pro Bowl history.
The largest crowd was 72,250 at the 1959 Pro Bowl, which was played at the Los Angeles Coliseum.
Sun Life Stadium crowd pretty good

Say what you want about the Pro Bowl being played before the Super Bowl and not in Hawaii anymore, but the South Florida fans like their football.
I've covered many games in this stadium and this is about a sellout. Not bad with windy conditions and athe threat of rain. I know the fans from this area look to get out of going to events, but they're here tonight.
I'm sure the NFL likes that. Maybe there is something to playing this on the mainland.
