season ticket is $250 (actually was $230) and they go from 47k down to 42k capacity.

5k @ $250/ticket = $1.25 million

Total revenue is $135 million

The total "loss" is 0.9% assuming they dont get to charge more for a new stadium.

I think Allen Fieldhouse seats more people - Valley Tiger MU - 5/2 06:31:27

Pretty nice stadium. Nice upgrade. nm - MATO MU - 5/2 20:27:58

Allen (TX) high school’s football stadium might, too.(nm) - Fool on the Hill MU - 5/2 12:01:04

RE: Allen (TX) high school’s football stadium might, too.(nm) - sarasotatiger MU - 5/2 14:49:14

It is an upgrade - BigDave MU - 5/2 11:29:37

they financed $115M or about half of it(nm) - Valley Tiger MU - 5/2 11:35:42

they financed the cost overrun(nm) - tman MU - 5/2 13:06:01

It will be as the original renderings but only part of it - Harvey Specter MU - 5/2 11:31:16

Did you just out yourself in this thread? - Hickeytime MU

- 5/2 12:24:47

Maybe he works for HNTB, the KC architecture firm - TigerJackSwartz MU

- 5/2 12:59:32

He does seem very invested in this ku stadium (nm) - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 5/2 12:33:12

Welp….that’s not an SEC or Big Ten stadium. Nm - ClassicTiger MU - 5/2 11:11:41

it wouldn't even be the smallest B1G stadium.(nm) - Harvey Specter MU - 5/2 11:22:19

What do Northwestern and ku have in common? - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 5/2 11:55:25

yes it would. by quite a bit. the actual numbers: - phrejd STL - 5/2 11:54:16

you walked into his trap. Northwestern's new stadium - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 5/2 11:57:58

will seat around 35K. capacity is quite a bit higher - phrejd STL - 5/2 12:03:33

coach leipold has done a fine job there(nm) - tmcats KSU - 5/2 10:35:46

2023 season was very good (for kU), but he really shat - TigerJackSwartz MU

- 5/2 10:47:44

Lost their OC - bagpipertiger MU - 5/2 14:18:07

looks good. They are being smart with it.(nm) - Harvey Specter MU - 5/2 09:11:35

correct. They know who they are(nm) - CulturedDan MU

- 5/2 09:34:31

Went to one fb game at kU--got thrown out - mu7176grad MU - 5/2 08:21:31

Sounds like a pretty intellegent cop - XRob MU

- 5/2 10:31:57

I went over twice and we lost both times - samclemens MU

- 5/2 09:27:15

Did you tell them you were a Vietnam Veteran?(nm) - playhard KC - 5/2 09:22:10

RE: Did you tell them you were a Vietnam Veteran?(nm) - mu7176grad MU - 5/2 09:37:21

Apparently it will hold less than it did… - Outsider MU - 5/2 07:26:37

But they make up for it by moving you further away - Mormad MU - 5/2 13:39:16

that is a good size for modern college football - Harvey Specter MU - 5/2 09:12:22

It ranks near the bottom among Big 12 schools (14 or 15) - Valley Tiger MU - 5/2 09:53:24

and?(nm) - Harvey Specter MU - 5/2 10:45:31

I'd say that is not "a good size for modern college football - Valley Tiger MU - 5/2 11:12:58

It isn't. Looks like at 42,000 it falls at 69th or so - TigerJackSwartz MU

- 5/2 11:20:05

What does that matter? Is it large enough - Harvey Specter MU - 5/2 11:18:23

your words were "good size" - it isn't.(nm) - Valley Tiger MU - 5/2 11:23:51

sure it is. "good" means good enough. - Harvey Specter MU - 5/2 11:25:20

You also said it was good size for modern college football - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 5/2 12:00:37

perhaps he meant "good size for a mid-major football team" - phrejd STL - 5/2 12:06:32

I'd agree with that and like someone already mentioned, - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 5/2 12:14:51

it is quite strange (nm) - phrejd STL - 5/2 12:17:51

It's a good size for them, not sure about a lot of other - playhard KC - 5/2 09:23:09

good size for modern B12 football. What wouldn't cut it - TigerJackSwartz MU

- 5/2 09:18:13

2 conferences and even then some B1G teams would be - Harvey Specter MU - 5/2 09:21:56

Purdue drew 60,000 per last season. 42,000 seat stadium - Outsider MU - 5/2 09:55:49

you missed the point completely then.(nm) - Harvey Specter MU - 5/2 10:45:16

I don't believe he did(nm) - CulturedDan MU

- 5/2 11:08:21

not sure he's the one missing here (nm) - phrejd STL - 5/2 10:53:35

Purdue averaged about 60,000 per game - Hickeytime MU

- 5/2 09:48:05

sure they can but not necessary.(nm) - Harvey Specter MU - 5/2 10:44:58

You’re trying way too hard to prove a point - Hickeytime MU

- 5/2 11:01:47

ok lets say a school loses 10k seats. At $100/seat - Harvey Specter MU - 5/2 11:05:29

Why isn’t Ohio State doing this? - Hickeytime MU

- 5/2 11:17:01

Better question - Harvey Specter MU - 5/2 11:19:26

we have never had 75K seats(nm) - tman MU - 5/2 13:08:34

we are adding seats. what are you talking about? - phrejd STL - 5/2 12:11:10

That's $1M per game. And that doesn't include lost donations - TigerJackSwartz MU

- 5/2 11:14:46

They play more than 1 game a year(nm) - CulturedDan MU

- 5/2 11:09:52

Ok, we'll do a ku specific scenario to avoid the nuh-uhs - Harvey Specter MU - 5/2 11:16:53

you were proposing that Purdue removes 10K seats - CulturedDan MU

- 5/2 11:18:36

I was proposing they'd be just fine in a nice new stadium - Harvey Specter MU - 5/2 11:20:28

they would have to charge $20 more a ticket/game just to - CulturedDan MU

- 5/2 11:26:44

seats being lost have no donation requirements - Harvey Specter MU - 5/2 11:32:42

you're stretching here. a lot. it's weird. (nm) - phrejd STL - 5/2 12:12:42

Yeah, what good is more money in today's athletics? (nm) - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 5/2 10:48:35

The $ amount from 10k tickets is noise in the AD budget - Harvey Specter MU - 5/2 11:00:39

But the $ amount is greater than without those 10k seats - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 5/2 11:46:04
