Alabama vs. Wisconsin showdown not selling many tickets

The Cowboys Classic pits an SEC power in Alabama vs. Wisconsin, but somewhat shockingly, the neutral site showdown is having trouble selling tickets as game day rapidly approaches.

According to NFL Media’s Gil Brandt, only 40,000 tickets have been sold for the weekend’s only matchup between ranked teams, and apparently, Badgers fans aren’t drawn to the clash.

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.

AT&T Stadium lists a capacity of 80,000, and it would be shocking to see a hyped-up game barely fill half of the seats.
