Sun Sports "Wright or Wrong"

[MikeG]

I just want some concession money... or parking money... or any kind of money. I don't want to get shafted every game. If that means a stadium, that's fine... if that means just review the contract, then do it. Do something, but seriously, why should our players play that hard and get beat up that bad to make someone else better off.

seriously--- you need to read (or reread) the OCS thread stickied to the top of the board.

If you are truly an econ nerd, you would realize that the bottom line of the situation is playing at RJS is far more lucrative at this point than building the OCS facility. The money from parking and concessions is chump change compared to the debt service. We make our money on the advertising, ticket revenue, and prepaid donor parking. THe costs are minimal in terms of the rent we pay in reality.

I realize this. I'm not really pushing for an OCS. Just re-work the contract.

I think the contract that matters is the one with the Bucs. I don't know when it expires, but they can't give us revenue when they have already contracted it to go to the Bucs.

I have always thought that RayJay lacked a little in atmosphere as a college stadium, but after the WVU game, I think it can be as good as anywhere.  What a game experience.

Go Bulls!
