If 1 game in NYC equals 70% of SU's football budget (cost/expenditure) then I truly need to know what the percentage is for 1 game in the Dome. 
 
However, for argument's sake, if revenue from 1 game in the Dome is anywhere near 70% of the SU football budget, or let's assume it is equal to 70%, then the revenue from 6 games in the Dome is 420% of the SU football budget (or something like that...I'm not a mathematician).  If that were anywhere near to being true then the SU football budget is recklessly too low, which is something I would think is ludicrous to argue or to assume.  Especially because the profit doesn't support that kind of thinking. 
 
So even without knowing what the percentage of the budget the revenue from 1 game in the Dome equals I think it's safe to assume the percentage is much, much lower than 70%.  I would guess it's lower than 16% which about what the percentage would be if the budget was based solely the on revenue from 6 home games.  Of course, the budget isn't based solely on the revenue from the Dome, which is to say the percentage of the budget from the revenue of 1 game in the Dome is probably even smaller and perhaps as low as 10% or less.
 
Anyway, assuming the accuracy of the 70% figure Gross gives for 1 game in NYC, then it's a slam dunk no-brainer to play 1 game a year in NYC.  SU is lucky.
