Home/home UGA?

if we go to 9 SEC games, which I do think will happen, we will have to go to home and home with ugaly to have the 7 home games a season needed for the revenue

 

I don't know how this could be true. The current contract to play in Jax (through 2025) is $3 mil to each team. That makes it 6 million in two years.
Going to home and away means the Gators would have to earn more than 6 million to host Georgia in order to make up for the lost revenue when they play at Georgia the next year.

 

I think it will be Orlando and Atlanta.

 

90,000 people at 100 bucks a ticket is $9 million

 

If it does happen, we better get our shit together because Kirby et al would love nothing more than to come into the Swamp and lay an SOS style beatdown on us in our own house.

 

Student tickets are much less

 

And some more more, especially for the big games

 

We're already getting away from the 7 games thing, I think we're at 6 every other year for the rest of the decade.

 

They have some expenses too! It has always made financial sense to play this game in Jax, what's changed?

 

Even with the temp seats, they aren't even getting 80K in that stadium for FL-GA.

 

^This

 

I guess we were talking about having seven home games vs 6 and the 3.5 mil from Jax.

 

Mediocre tickets are $450 a pop now. Much cheaper on game day from a scalper. I paid $450 years ago for the Miami game.

Last thing I read said two semi-neutral sites. Atlanta and Orlando. I guess more will be revealed...

Go Gators.

 

UF does not get that much per ticket. Season ticket list prices are $480 + the required booster contribution, which ranges from $150-2500 for the non student section main bowl. Call it an average of $1200-1400. Student seats make up roughly 20% of the stadium and they are probably pretty much balanced out by the bull gators. Call it $200/seat average over the 7 games to UF.

 

Its funny how the "standard" was that we had to have 6 home games for our budget to work (dropped UM when the # of SEC games increased by 1) until they added another game to make it a 12 game season and overnight we needed 7 home games to make it work....I'd love to see that math.

 

Funny how that worked. "We must have 6 home games. Sorry Miami."
SEC adds an extra game. "Wait- there was a rounding error. We must have SEVEN games to survive."

And pay no attention to that man behind the curtain, or to the UGA game, which provides more than 1/2 a home game of revenue each year.

 

Yep, it's all these home-and-away games with teams like Utah that Stricklin signed us up for. Kills our record during our rebuild AND costs us income at the stadium and throughout Gainesville.

 

To be fair, when those deals got signed who knew that college football was going to get turned on its head and do its best to commit hara-kiri.

 

Eh. Games are more exciting at least, 3 cupcakes a year isn't.
