Has a single neutral site game this weekend sold out?

I see swaths of empty seats at these games. I wish this fad would end.

This Washington-Auburn game is good, but I can picture how much more exciting it would be on campus with 80k+ instead of 55k in Atlanta.

I can't imagine they sell out that often

Even UF/Michigan in Dallas last year had quite a bit of open seats and the tix on Stubhub dropped to like 15 bucks.

I doubt very many of them ever sell out.

It's hard enough to fill your stadium when it's a home game. Making people travel and pay bowl prices for a regular season game is not the way to put butts in seats.

When all this started 8-10years ago I felt like they got good crowds. I think fans are sick of them Now and resent them not being on campus.

Based on LSU future scheduling they are coming up less and less.

I hope what Gameday did this year sticks and maybe persuades them to go home and home more. Auburn and Wash was by far the biggest game of the weekend, but Gameday, not by accident I'm sure, chose ND/Mich in Soutyh Bend to highlight.

I know some may not care but Gameday is huge exposure for your school

Charlotte is not a draw at all. Bland city for visitors and hot as Hades in late summer

UW/Aub and WVU/UT looked better attended than most of the on campus games. The West coast crowds have been atrocious and UGA had lots of empty spots.

Looks like they may not be selling their full allotment for some of their road games. That was at least supposedly the case for when they play Auburn.
