NM Bowl ticket sales struggle

There could be a lot of empty seats at Saturday's New Mexico Bowl football game. 

The game is supposed to bring fans of both teams to Albuquerque, but apparently people from Arizona and Nevada don't have a ton of interest. This will be the seventh New Mexico Bowl. The smallest crowd was about 25,000 five years ago. 

This year's crowd could be a lot smaller. Nevada had to buy 10,000 tickets. They say they may only use about a thousand of those, and that is after giving tickets away to New Mexico military families. 

Their opponent Saturday, the University of Arizona, is on the hook for 5,000 tickets but has only sold about a thousand of them.
