Packers have 1000 unsold tickets…who will buy them to prevent the blackout

Networks should buy up the Green Bay tickets. They will lose a FORTUNE not broadcasting the game.

Was the problem the forecast for extremely frigid temperatures?
They can't get anyone to buy tickets for that Packers game. Dudes it's gonna be -235 degrees at that game

Or something else?

Fortunately for those in Wisconsin planning to watch on TV, the effort to move the remaining tickets before the blackout deadline was a success:
