A couple of games in pro stadiums that are 25% filled?

Yeah, but they don't always follow through. Miami signed a H&H with Memphis then later canceled. Hope Temple got some monetary penalties in the contract to provide the proper motivation for Miami to actually play the games.

Good get. Miami still is a name fans know and they are on their way up

miami is unique in that it may make more sense from a dollar stand point to do that. they have no OCS so there is no extra revenue. add on top of that the piss poor attendance that they would get by the bell weather miami fans for a sunbelt game. you have a recipe for a financial hit when you add in the body bag payment that would be needed for a one and done. and dont forget, USF was a BCS peer when that series started.

You seriously don't think we can get 20K+ for Miami?

I know that OCS is being drilled to all FBS schools but Temple is never going to be able to build an OCS that holds 60k+ seats, making it certain that a P5 opponent will never agree on a home and home with Temple at their OCS.

The question is, is leasing a game or two a year to play at the Linc to hold those games even a possibility? Might the city withhold any Temple games there or make it so expensive that it would make sense to play there? The city does have a reputation of being ruthless to Temple for some reason.

There is zero evidence that Temple won't be able to get P5 opponents in a home and home at an OCS.

If it's a 30K or 35K OCS? Perhaps no definitive evidence but not likely under those circumstances. More likely two for one.

Well, Miami has signed recent home-home deals with G5 teams with tiny to small stadiums like Toledo, Arkansas State, Cinci's old Nippert and others.

Nice OOC schedule with ND, Rutgers, Maryland, Oklahoma, Miami, and BC on it. The Rutgers games will put over 40k in the LINC. Oklahoma should sell out the LINC like ND did and Penn St does. Miami should draw half decent with a lot of Northern Alumni in the Northeast. Maryland is a great regional game but I don't know how well they travel. They have a hard time getting fans to show up at home. BC doesn't travel well but it should be a good series anyway - the same with Duke. Grab some BB games with Duke if you can too.

A two hour drive is not a far travel for Maryland fans is it? If they can't travel two hours to see a game against a team they may only see once a generation or so, they they are not true fans.

You get 20k without Miami. You should get the same numbers you get with Army and Navy at around 30k or slightly over. That would fill close to half of the LINC.

Your right so tell that to the Maryland fans.
