Precisely.  It’s very frustrating to see other G5 programs find ways to build an OCS while USF wallows in feasibility studies

If I read that right that is a money coming in pit?

It would appear that they surpassed by far revenue expectations even with far greater expenses than originally projected.

It was the inaugural year so I wouldn't rely on it for future years. I would be interested in future years were there isn't a come and see the shining new stadium draw. I wonder how even year 2 looks revenue wise?

Lots of emotion, speculation and anecdotal evidence in this thread.

It would depend on what games they have coming to Fort Collins.

They have Arkansas this season. Every other year they have Boise State, so that should be a sellout for them. If they mix in a few more quality OOC games, then they will continue to generate good revenue.

Do Boise fans travel well?  Or is Boise their natural rival?  Wondering how that game is always a sellout.

They travel and I would have to think that Colorado State fans will show up as well.

Also looks like Colorado is playing at Colorado State in 2020. Another nice game for them.

A few years ago Boise came down to ATL for the Chick-Fil-A game to open the year, and they appeared to travel pretty well.  I remember being at the aquarium which was right by the stadium, and there were tons of their fans around there.
