Ohio will travel to take on the Syracuse Orange at the Carrier Dome on Sept. 10, 2022. The Orange will pay the Bobcats a $850,000 guarantee for the game, according to the contract.

We seem to be paying our employees an awful lot of money Winthorpe.

 

[MSOrange]

Like it! We still need 2 games in 2020 so hopefully that comes together soon.

Bring on the tomato cans!

Not a bad program under Frank Solich but still a game we obviously should and need to win.

Especially at $850000

Can't afford another MTSU

It is great to see the AD office becoming proactive and professionally run again. Thank God for John Wildhack.

Iv said it once and ill say it a million more times, greatest thing to happen to Syracuse athletics is the removal of The Great DR. Daryl Gross everyone. Heres a real question with Wildhack as are AD do you think the chances of Maronne sticking around greater?

 

[TexanMark]

I just looked at FBSchedules the other day and I thought Ohio would be a good add...I figured we would do a 2 for 1.

2 for 1 deals with MAC schools are okay, but I think with the ACC money, we can pay enough $ to get 1 game home only deals like this. The objective should be to have at least 7 home games every season. These type of deals ensure this will happen.

Yes.

Does it matter. No.

 

[Frozen]

Good job JW and Herm for getting an FBS team as a one-off.

Now just win the damn game.

 

[Shrmdougluvr]

That seems like a lot. Does anyone know what our average revenue is per home game?

 

[upperdeck]

33K * x= Y.

x being the big unknown. but say $50 thats 1.65 million.

They make no financial sense but work since ACC money to pretty good. If we were stuck in the AAC we would be doing a 1 for 1 with them.

 

[Ish88888]

Love it, we should play at least one MAC team/year.

I'd be cool with Buffalo in a semi-regular series (2-1) once in awhile if it helps secure Stadium funding.

Only if Wildhack was attempting to turn us into an NFL franchise

 

[SmilinBob]

Another 4-8 season they might have to start paying the fans 850K to show up. MAC teams are always tough and not playing a 1 for 1 might mean SU is traveling to somewhere interesting in 2022.

Haha I'd play 3 straight road games @ Buffalo if it meant that, mark.

Haha I'd play 3 straight road win games @ Buffalo if it meant that, mark.

FIFY...

Love to recapture that $200M Gov Cuomo originally promised

"Hi Cuomo? It's John. We're going to play UB at New Era Stadium on Friday Night and the game is going to be on ESPN2. Let's talk about that $200M."

I have mixed feelings about the good doctor. He certainly had flubs, but he found ways to increase revenues for athletics such as the sideline seating at basketball. He oversaw major improvements to the dome playing surface. He improved Olympic sports. And it was Dr. Gross who was at the helm when SU made the move to the ACC

Concessions are a big chunk. I once heard that SU grossed $250,000 per home game on beer sales alone when attendance was at its peak in the early-mid '90s. Number of sales are probably way down from that, but prices are higher, so it's likely that the gross is still significant.
