I'm guessing the completion of Cytown will mean the end of these G5 away games. It will mostly only be an income stream when the team is in town.

Yeah, nope. Have you paid attention to the overall plan, let alone the general lease agreements?
Look the players have to respect this team as a tough opponent and prepare for them.
I don't have to. They suck! We will win by 21+n

Not at all a "trap" game. This is a "win by 10 at most game" so you don't show anything (if there is) left in the bag you haven't shown type game. Execute on the basics, get back home.
It’s a 1-for-1. We didn’t save anywhere close to 2 million.
This is the same type of financial decision as “alcohol sales don’t add enough to make it worth it” . Which may have been true pre-revenue sharing
It only has a chance to work if the Iowa game results in being able to make as much in season ticket sales from 6 home games as 7. Although the variable income from concessions and such factor in- and as mentioned, if CyTown is successful, it means it cost more to give up the home game.
Utah is playing a team they’ve played 81 times. We play Arkansas St. Not comparable,

I can see a bit of a slow start after 3 weeks going including Dublin, closeish game at half (probably meltdowns on the game day thread because people think players/teams should just be at the same level all the time and don't watch other games where rough starts are normal) and then a 35-10ish type of close out.
Nebraska paid Arkansas State $1.65 million to play them in Lincoln, and that was in 2015. We'd probably have to pay Arkansas State closer to $2 million in 2025.
By playing them home and home, we're only paying for our travel expenses to Jonesboro for one game, which I'm guessing would be around a few hundred thousand dollars. Unless I'm missing something here, it means our savings would be between $1-2 million.
This is how you lose this game. Approach it like this. LOL.
Good thing the team/coaches won't.
I assume the flight for the trip is going through Memphis, and probably more hotel availability there anyway
Yep. Ideal is more to take away all hope in the first half, then get the starters out.
When inferior teams are given hope by keeping it close is when **** gets weird.
I'll admit I still have PTSD from the Ohio game a few years ago, but we're also a much better team than we were that year and that Ohio team looks to be much better than what this Arkansas State team looks to be. Weird things can happen in football, but we should be able to handle business and hopefully get some of the 2nd and 3rd string meaningful snaps.
John Walters pretty nervous about this game, says were gonna have to play a lot of players due to heat.
That may be true, but so will they and I will take our depth. For that reason, I wouldn’t hate tempo early but I also know Campbell…

He’s ranking based on actual results without regard to preconceived notions of program history, which I appreciate. Certainly not a realistic way to go about it, but it’s probably as valid as just picking with a heavy emphasis on name recognition
No way. These home/homes mean ISU doesn’t have to pay these teams to come here. It saves millions.
What is the revenue for a sold out home game in September?
What is the revenue for a sold out home game in September with beer sales?
My nephew and his family are driving from Montgomery,Ala to to game
Not that much when 75% of our tickets are season tickets. I would also guess the G5 game is the least likely to sell out, I don't think we ever have since we expanded the stadium.
