For all of you worried about USF's income, just got word that season ticket prices are going up for 2017. I don't blame them, you gotta cash in when you can. Who knows when we're going to see a home slate like this again? Doesn't each home game have USF playing in it? Sounds like a pretty good home slate to me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having been to both venues recently, I'd say the difference in lease payments is about right ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a better team, and USF needs to fill the coffers for CCS's extension in a few years, or to hire a hot "name" coach if it doesn't work out.
