Purdue is expecting sellout crowd vs. Michigan on Saturday
It’s been a long time since Ross-Ade Stadium has been home to a sellout crowd for a Purdue football game, but it sounds like the Boilermakers may have one this Saturday.
Monday, Mike Carmin of the Journal & Courier tweeted that Purdue has sold over 3,000 tickets since the win over Missouri and the athletic department is expecting a sellout crowd when the Boilermakers host Michigan on Saturday.

Purdue has played well early in the season. After a touchdown loss to Louisville, the Boilermakers posted back-to-back wins over Ohio and Missouri. They enter Saturday’s contest 2-1.
Michigan comes into West Lafayette ranked No. 8 nationally and owns a perfect 3-0 record.
The two conference foes haven’t played since a 2012 meeting in West Lafayette, a game Michigan won 44-13. Saturday’s game serves as the B1G opener for both teams.
