Answer: The homecoming game was sold out.

Explanation: a main clause is a clause that can form a complete sentence standing alone, having a subject and a predicate. In the given sentence, the correct and entire main clause is: the homecoming game was sold out, because it can stand on its own and still have complete meaning. The rest of the sentence "since the football team was good this year" is a subordinate clause.
