If you go to that stadium and think WOW, I'd love this at my school....you need to give me what you're smoking. USF refuses to build crap like that.

I never thought or said that.  I said it isn't that bad, and it's not.  You are the one smoking something if you think the powers that be at USF wouldn't immediately sign off on an equitable OCS for the same cost UCF spent (in today's dollars, whatever that is).  USF doesn't have any superiority in stadium design holding them back from development.

I think it's cool, as do most broadcasters/outsiders.

The revenue is mostly just covering the capital outlays.

Good, public institutions shouldn't be profiting too much imo.  As long as its enough to maintain what they have going and adequately plan for the future-what more can you ask for?

You guys are crazy.  The stadium isn't dangerous, they are suing for future repair money.  Repairs happen every year to every stadium.  I would still take their situation over a rental any day.  I don

Have you been to a game at UCF during the last 2 seasons with the upgrades?   It's actually a comfortable place to watch a game with more spacious concourses compared to the other college st

USF should insist on moving our game to the Citrus Bowl.  It's not safe to play at the Wok.

If you meant bet instead of be, how much are you willing to lose - I mean bet?  Purty sure we pay under or around $1 million / game.

My understanding is that we pay a total of less than $250k per game - I think it averages $185k for rent/direct costs plus a ticket surcharge averaging about  $2.00 to $2.25 per ticket.  Here's the only article I could find...

I think the shaking camera is horrible when trying to watch games.

Not sure about the subtleties of the arrangement but that is much more shrewd than I would have guessed obviously.  It doesn't change the original point at all, but that is much less than I thought.

it's fine. The Slantinel has a way to poke at UCF at every opportunity. Beth over there never even wanted us to move On Campus.

I call BS on this.  If it were inspected every year there shouldn't be any, "life safety" issues that suddenly pop up.  So, either it's not inspected every year, or UCF has just been negligent in performing the appropriate maintenance.

Not very relevant.  When was the last time you think that thing had engineers inspect it or had to abide by safety standards sanctioned by the NCAA and government agencies? I commend your ability to find video of a ghetto rigged bleacher collapse on youtube though.

As relevant as those bogus financial numbers you've been throwing out ... and I'd bet those bleachers in the vid had the same quality inspections that the UCF stadium appears to have had before this year.
