Behind Enemy Lines: Appalachian State Mountaineers

And the way they sell the “money game” idea is rather than making a Miami (for example) pay them $1mm to go to Miami, they take a discounted rate (think Big C mentioned $400k) as their money game. The money you make on the Miami visit to your stadium more than makes up for the smaller payday.

It’s brilliant.

It is...difference is they know they'll sell out The Rock...here, it's a gamble with UL fickled fans, like who knows

1 at their place
1 at home
1 money game at their place for less than the going rate.

We've done this before. I believe it was Oklahoma State when David Walker was AD.

We actually had pretty good attendance for the OK State game. Two things prevented it from being better. One, it was held on a Friday night. Two, our team was not very good. It happened towards the end of the Bustle era. I do recall seeing lots of Cowboy fans at Festivals Acadien' the following Saturday.

Their hope then was and mostly always has been, that the game would sell itself.

There was no major marketing push
