That would be great for the city's economy so you can see a role player who chose to leave the Tigers.

City's economy...pffft...I hope it's not hinging on an NCAA weekend.

It's only about a $30M economic impact for that weekend. But Avery is worth it right?

Whatever man.......about 10'000 or more kentucky fans coming to town could really help a lot of people's lives that live here. Including mine.

$3 million sounds kinda low to me. Not that I'm an expert, but ticket sales alone could be close to $3M.

Let's just say it's 300 total for tickets to the entire session
And let's say they sell 18000

That's 5.4M

3-5 mill...is p'nuts.

I'm rooting for Avery.

My support cannot be bought or sold for less than 33mill. lol

right exactly, the entire sum of money doesn't go to the host/forum/etc. but i lowballed the ticket figure when you consider suites/etc. so even if only 20% of that somehow finds its way back to the city, that's still 1M

TRAVEL SPENDING HOTEL. DINING. SOUVENIRS. SIGHT SEEING. ETC. WITH MULTIPLIER EFFECT.

“EVEN SOUND SEEMED TO FAIL IN THIS AIR, LIKE THE AIR WAS WORN OUT WITH CARRYING SOUNDS SO LONG."

A DOG'S VOICE CARRIES FURTHER THAN A TRAIN, IN THE DARKNESS ANYWAY.

It's 10M+, worst-case scenario, overall.

I forgot why we care what it is .

Tickets are sold. That money's already in the bank. If UK and UNC get knocked out (fingers crossed), the impact is on hospitality. No more than $5M difference - no matter the teams.

But, see, I might save $100 on a ticket. Heck, Memphis has hosted events for years and I've never seen a red cent of that money come my way. And, really, who can put a price on Avery?
