Considering Tuscaloosa is a 9 hour drive, and Madison is a 15 hour drive, it's not surprising attendance will be lower. Not to mention the higher prices. I'm sure the Badger fans don't want to spend that money on a game they expect to lose. Only the wealthiest and most die hard fans will be there.

How amped are Alabama fans about playing Wisconsin? I don't remember any recent matchups but you've seen enough of them via rivals in the last decade, I assume.
It just never struck me as a great matchup. Auburn-Louisville isn't exactly a supergame either, but at least it seems fresh and Auburn can largely fill out the Dome without a lot of help. Not the case here, given the distances.

Teams need to think more about where they play neutral site games. Houton for LSU worked great, Green Bay for Wisconsin works too. If LSU played say Clemson in Orlando, tickets would not sell.
