I expect such silliness from the Cleveland press, but geez, the OP should be able to recognize the fact that this "seatgeek" site can only analyze based on where tickets are shipped to, and that there will be tons of Bama fans traveling from Tennessee, Mississippi, Georgia, and the Florida panhandle. I seriously doubt that more OSU fans have bought tickets than Bama fans. Tide Pride members had to have well over 500 points in order to get tickets. Unless you're contributing some fairly serious dollars, you would have to be a ticket holder for several years in order to get tickets. This is my 9th year, and I've only got 160 points. Any notion that OSU fans are out-spending Bama fans is silly.

I'm not sure who will have more fans at the game, and obviously Alabama's proximity to New Orleans makes it more feasible for an average fan to attend.

That being said, having no comparable in-state rival in one of the most populous states, one of the largest alumni groups, and a rich overall tradition and success (like Bama) results in large fan base; one of the largest in the country. So it doesn't seem that silly that they could outsell Bama.
