Nation,
About four years ago, sports-related figures that were reported to the government became available. I wished that I had saved these, but I didn't. That is how we learned that the loge revenue surpassed the ticket receipts in any given year.
As far as how much money we make on a single game, that 67k figure does not hold up. Let's figure a crowd of 13k.
Start with about 5,000 season ticket holders (used to be over 6k, tanked under Wolford, then recovered under Pelini, or so I am told.) Say half of them (2500) pay full price which is $18....that is 45k. The rest get university discounts which is half-price....that is 22.5k more.
Include 1,000 students which is 0. Then add 7,000 non-season ticket individual game buyers. Say 6,000 buying reserved seats....108k, and 1,000 purchasing general admission....about 16k
That comes out to over 191k, not counting concessions or advertising. So I think that your 200k estimate is more accurate than the figure reported in that report. And, of course, that does not count the loges.

Not even one prediction for tomorrow's game ?

Do you have a link to those figures? That seems high. In an article Joe Scalzo published on 9/10/14, Strollo told Joe, "YSU nets about $200,000 for each home football game through a combination of ticket sales, loge sales, corporate sponsorships (whose advertisements get more exposure), concessions, merchandise and parking."

Another quote:
"He (Wolford) said he would be in favor of playing another money game, even if it’s against a Mid-American Conference team like Akron or Kent." “Eric’s not afraid to play anyone."
One of the reasons I liked Wolford. Dude had a pulse and a pair.

Maybe for the first quarter and as the YSU touchdowns add up and the rain falls and kickoff for the OSU-OU game gets closer - look for about 500 in the stands by the 3rd quarter...should have been a 1:00 game as Bo wanted. Would have been a great day of football for the YSU-OSU fans out there. There is no way to avoid the Buckeye Nation and the power they have. You have to realize it and work around it.
