What was the NET PROFIT for the South Dakota game.

For that one game.

How much $,$$$,&$$ did Iowa State PROFIT.

I’ll wait.
 
i d k,

When the Head Football Coach states he’s not happy about playing this as a road game, I think that’s relevant information for a pregame thread
More stupid. Can’t even quote accurately.

If CMC were unhappy about this game, it wouldn’t be happening.

Duh.

Please start a thread if you want to discuss this, instead of contaminating every one you run across.

It was scheduled before he was here, Forrest
 
Probably started too early/too serious on a non-serious opponent. But yes, hopefully gets back to game discussion in the next couple days.
Thats fair. FWIW, they may be non serious but i expect it to be a much closer game than SD. I think this team is running on fumes physically and emotionally. Bye week is coming at a great time
 
WATER BOTTLES TO BE ALLOWED!
The ASU athletics office just told me that because of the weather forecast for Saturday they are allowing outside water bottles to be brought in to the football stadium.
Dan!

Keep that streak alive buddy! Wear your sunscreen.

Our team is flying to Memphis,

Staying in Memphis

And riding in buses an hour+ to play in 97° (real feel higher) weather.

Then ride in buses back to Memphis.

I hope we win easy and get through this unscathed.

Regardless of the effect on the AD P&L, it is still a cool trip for the team to head down south for a game. Name the last non-bowl, non-conference game ISU has played in the southern United States? I certainly can't off the top of my head.

Here's the financial report from 2024.


Based on 2024 numbers and some assumptions I made (i.e. ALL games are the 'same'):
$2,447,010 - per game home ticket revenue ($17.129M/7 home games)
$309,256 - per game Concession, Program, Novelty, Parking revenue ($2.165M/7 home games)
$296,952 - per game Event Staffing expenses ($2.078M/7 home games)

$282,229 - per game Travel expenses ($1.411M/ 5 away games)

Pay G5 team $1.5M to come to Ames -> approximate 'net' = $960k ($2.447M + $0.309M - $0.297M - $1.5M)**
Home/Home with G5 team -> approximate 'net' = $1.088M (($2.447M + $0.309M - $0.297M - $0.282M)/2)**


**I'm not an accountant; I just hate uninformed arguments with people pulling numbers out of the sky, so I will readily admit my methodology may be off.
