Excited to see the Cats in Arlington!  Of course I live in the Dallas Metro.   Understand the impact of taking a game from Manhattan, but this is a unique opportunity and we do have 7 remaining home games.  Also, if there are still seating restrictions in Manhattan then this is a big help to the budget.  Of course, big games in Manhattan with a full crowd are AWESOME!!!  Main thing is to WIN the DAMN GAME!

But there's loads of taco bells ever-y-where around that stadium.

Why not just do this for all of our games? We could travel the country like the Harlem Globetrotters, netting an extra $1.5 to $3 million per game, and not have to spend a dime on maintenance.

If this isn’t extremely limited capacity I may try to make it. 6 hour drive is a lot better than 15

No reason it couldn't be full capacity. Just require proof of vaccination.

Think of the community of Manhattan, it would be completely devastated.  Dust bowl level depression.

Is it possible to hand out tax breaks for every event held in the area that provides economic stimulus to hotels/restaurants/bars?  Or maybe to achieve tax breaks he is required to host "x" amount of events per year?

That being said if this is held in a post-COVID world there could be a solid 40k fans.  I'm sure that is decently profitable.

I'm very curious about this as well.  Kurtz says KSU is being paid $2.8m.  Rusty indicated above that it's the Cowboys paying it.  What do the Cowboys get for their $2.8m that justifies that price?

how can they pay out $5.6 million with 40k fans when we net like $500k for a game with 50k fans?

Has to be TV or something, or maybe the booze sales that KSU doesn’t get at scale like jerry world will.

So this game is no longer part of KSU/Big 12's TV rights, and it'll be on whatever station buys it from the Cowboys?

I think they only have to pay Kansas State. Stanford played their home game and we are selling ours.

I am pretty sure KSU retains 3rd tier rights for non con games but I could be wrong on that.  I suppose they could sell those rights to the Cowboys for some of that revenue increase.

that makes it more feasible, but there's still a weird gap here. I don't think booze would make the difference, but it might!

I don't get it.  If Jerry Jones knows how to make enough money to profit off paying us $2.8m for this crap game, I guess we can give up this one game to learn the secret and start doing that.  I see unsold-out games at KSU stadium broadcast on ESPN adjace channels at 11am with retractable hoses being the featured advertisers.

What should we spend 2.8 million simoleons on?

Probably should buy a bunch of catering from local businesses for the athletes
