Your post would have some merit if Alabama hadn't sold out pass neutral site games including: 2007 vs Florida State in Jacksonville (Alabama sold out their side and had more), 2008 vs Clemson in Atlanta (Alabama again, sold out their side with no problem), 2009 vs Virginia Tech (Alabama sells out Georgia Dome easily), 2012 vs Michigan (Alabama and Michigan bring big numbers and have an estimate of 90,000+), 2013 vs Virginia Tech (Alabama dominates the Georgia Dome, controlling 3/4ths of it), and lastly, last year vs West Virginia (Alabama controls most of the stadium).

To add to this: Alabama brought a ton of fans to Norman Ok in 2002, same against Hawaii, and then @Penn State in 2011.

What about 2015...brah?

You can't sell out. What is your problem?

You scheduled this game in Dallas, Texas...but the game has sold less than 45,000 tickets so far....

...total.

Bama sold their allotment of 25,000. I imagine a lot of Bama fans will show up game day and get tickets.

Yeah - I was at the Michigan game and it was sold the frick out, standing room only....Michigan travels very well...definitely did their part and had nearly half the stadium.

This one is just weird and pretty sure I overpaid for my tix. I expect a different story next year for Southern Cal. That one will be huge and that game will have playoff implications.
