AS, then the students surely aren't going to Cleveland so why would anyone talk about a game up there?

And, BTC, you are too funny! What was the score last time we played those blue pussy cats? Oh, that would be 20-3 last year? They probably think we don't play football.

I simply said if people are thinking outside the box and want to see a money game played as a home game close to Athens, this game makes as much or more sense than anything in Cleveland (except the OSwho).

It's time we realize.......we have had enough success(still need that MACC Championship) that we are not going to be a 10 dollar seat.

First end foremst......no student should ever be turned away from a game. This is an experience they should never have taken from them. If that means the student allotment goes up.......and the sale price for alum and fans go up........so be it.

This program has grown well beyond a first half and band performance, I love the 110 but they are not the reason I attend games now days. Today the are the desert not the entree.

At some point if demand beyond the students warrant, perhaps 5k more are added.......and we continue to grow as things progress.

It appears as if we have a two edged sword here. We want to bitch about wanting to be a big time program but we also bitch about pricing--with the feeling we are entitled to maintain cheap tickets as we had to deal with all the years we sucked, yet still supported.

Can't have it both ways.

I meant those fans, most UK die hard blue fans in that area are basketball fans for Kentucky and are Scarlet and Grey or some other color in the fall. I'm well aware they have beat us 2 of last 3.

40K is not going to viable economically. 1st, say we do get a good turnout, remember they are NOT paying, 2nd, you are paying a facility rental fee and their employees. 3. You will have increased security cost. 4. You will have your own travel cost. 5. You will NOT get concessions or parking revenue. 5. At a neutral site that team thats the bigger draw is going to take a payout, which is what scuttled the Va Tech deal, they werent playing and having their fans generate the revenue and not get anything in return So an extra 16,000 people will not make this work. If it worked, everyone would do it!

There are a lot of other names in College Football that would bring people out. Part of why OHIO is not trying it may be that it makes enough revenue at home to the point where it does better than a neutral site game. NIU was playing in Soldier Field because they couldn't get fans to come to DeKalb. Boise State did play Virginia Tech in DC. Could we try something like playing UNC in Charlotte with UNC bringing the lionshare of the fans?

I am a broken record on this one for a good reason: MACC MACC MACC

Get one of those and you have a team that's in the top 25, maybe nicely in there. Then you have OHIO's interest for a nameworthy opponent in a large Cleveland venue.

No MACC, no nothing.

It is time for a MACC.

I just was at ESPN, and laughed... They have ticket prices at which you apparently can buy tickets for various Ohio games. The current prices:
http://espn.go.com/college-football/team/_/id/195/ohio-bo...

Marshall - 254 available from $32
SE Louisiana - 75 available from $25
@Minnesota - 1,459 available from $23
@Akron - 87 available from $29
Miami (OH) - 81 available from $40
@Bowling Green - 22 available from $31
Kent State - 79 available from $32 (Tuesday game)
Ball State - 81 available from $32 (Tuesday game)

so... if thee are to be believed, the cheapest game is at Minnesota, and two of the most expensive games are the Tuesday night games? Does anyone believe this?

While seeing the Minnesota tickets cheap was funny, it wasn't surprising. The part that made me laugh was the $32 prices for mid-week games, when the list price of individual tickets for them is only $15, and when a lot of people who have season tickets won't be going, and would no doubt take less than $15 for them.
