$1 Million for Buy Game At Arkansas....We Should Play A Buy Game Every Year
I'd much rather watch the Tigers play on television at Texas than go to The Liberty Bowl to see Mercer or Georgia State

Somehow that doesn't surprise me... I'd 100% rather go to the Liberty Bowl to see us play St. Mary's School for the Blind than I would watch us play Texas on TV.

those of us who support Tiger football, buy tkts to home games. most games earn more than a million dollars with parking and concessions and tkt prices. those of us who support Tiger football like to go to games (home and away) tv is a last resort only better than having to listen to (it's all about me) dave on the radio.

We are not paid by the Liberty Bowl. We earn over a million a game by playing them in the leased Liberty Bowl.

We get nothing, $0, on concessions & until this season have received no cut of parking. So just ticket sales less rent & incidentals.

I agree, this year we're at South Alabama and at Louisiana Monroe. I don't think we're getting a million from those, and a win there doesn't really get us anything and a loss hurts bad. However, a million dollar game with a W at Arkansas, Texas, etc sure as hell would and if we lose, we take home $1,000,000 and everyone cheers about how we ain't afraid to play anybody anywhere.

I buy season tickets, 4 of them, but also attend some away games. I would prefer the drive to Fayetteville AR than to the LB from ATL to see Mercer, SEMO, UT- Martin, So IL etc & our under- financed program can sure use the $1M+ for such games.

The city receives $40k stadium rental and $50k parking rental per game. Stadium rental is less than maintenance for on campus facility would be. Tiger Lane alone almost covers the parking fee.

please explain. i cant make the numbers come anywhere near that.

35,000 people @ an average of $25* per ticket = $875,000. That's pretty close. Add in our newly acquired parking income...

* I say average because my season tickets cost $67 per game, and I know there are a lot of $10 seats sold.

I am not as certain about revenue flow as you seem to be. All I know for a fact is football revenue in 2017 was slightly over $7m or more than $1m per game in a seven game season. You stated that we only begin to see parking revenue this season if that is so that increases per game revenue. All I am trying to say is the $1m per buy game is not a monetary winner for the university, and does nothing for fans who like going to games.
