How many Nebraska fans would you guys say were at the game last Thursday? 10,000 or so?
Even if there were, and there weren't, those seats were sold at $75 a pop. That doesn't include the countless $5.00 lemonades, $4.00 sodas, and $20.00 trips to the concession stand that they bought.
If that were the case, and 10K Nebraska fans did buy tickets, the estimated revenue from their attendence alone would be roughly $750K dollards and probably at least $50-100K more in parking and concessions.
And that's face value. If you took scalped values (which the AD doesn't see the margin), it would be way over a million.
In this scenario, Nebraska fans probably made, roughly, an $800K-$1M donation on their way out of Manhattan. I will venture to guess, since KU is essentially giving tickets away, that KSU fans, who will most definitely exceed 10K fans, won't even come close to dropping that much money.
Therefore, when we overrun your stadium, we do it at a discount. When NU fans invaded ours, we made them pay for it.
