@Gil_Brandt: They're having trouble selling tix to the #ALAvsWIS game on Saturday. Only around 40k sold as of yesterday. Very few bought by Badger fans.
I know USC/NC will not be sold out.
Is this a trend?
If you cant get the local population to buy into the game, you arent going to sell out as easy

I think fans are getting tired of the neutral site trend. Part of what makes CFB great is the atmosphere, traditions, and pregame stuff you can only get by attending a college stadium.
For example, I've lurked on BG's football site and a lot of them have said they feel cheated that the game isn't at Neyland as they wanted to experience a real SEC stadium and the atmosphere that goes along with that. Some have said they would've gone to Neyland but have no interest in going to Nashville for the game. Personally, I feel the same way I'd rather go to a college stadium and take in all the traditions a school has to offer and enjoy a real college football game than just go to a pro stadium and miss out on all of that.
I think ADs are missing out on what makes CFB so unique and what makes fans want to attend CFB games. It's wayyyy different than neutral site games that really don't offer the college football experience.
