Why the heck not.
Since it became a Pac-12/Big 12 matchup in 2010, the Alamo Bowl has sold out 3 of 6 years, with the largest crowd (65,918) coming in the 2013 edition when #10 Oregon played unranked Texas. The smallest (57,593) was in 2010 when #16 Oklahoma State played unranked Arizona.
The largest crowd in the history of the game (66,166) was in 2007 when Penn State played Texas A&M.
CU has played in the Alamo Bowl once before, against an unranked Wisconsin in 2002. The crowd for that game (50,690) remains the smallest since the Alamo Bowl's second edition in 1994.
This is the third consecutive, and third ever, Top-15 matchup in this game, so it should be a good crowd, but I'm going to stop just short of calling for a sellout.
63,502 out of a capacity of 65,000.
