Saturday's Hawaii-Fresno State football game at Bulldog Stadium isn't a sellout, but it's fast heading that way.
As of 5 p.m. Monday, about 5,800 tickets remained unsold, according to Paul Ladwig, associate athletic director for broadcasting and external relations.
By 5 p.m. Tuesday, only 4,700 tickets remained. Bulldog Stadium seats 41,031, but the university (as it did for Wisconsin) usually sells a limited number of standing room tickets if the demand is there.
At about 4 p.m. Wednesday, with coach Pat Hill's team practicing nearby, two windows at the Bulldog Stadium ticket office were busy. The line of customers extended into the parking lot. Everyone in line smiled and nodded yes when asked if they were buying football tickets.
What's interesting, though, is for which game. Several customers said they already had their Hawaii tickets. One said he was buying for Idaho on Oct. 11; another said he was buying for Nevada on Nov. 7.
The trend is clear: As long as the Bulldogs keep winning, demand for tickets to all home games will only grow.
