Who Says There’s No Trades In College Football? Hoosiers Swap Home Conference Game For Cash<\/b><\/a> – First and Big Ten<\/i><\/p>\n

More 2010 FedEx college football <\/b><\/a> – D1SCOURSE, The Wash. Times<\/i>
Expect more college games like this one at FedEx Field in the coming years.<\/p>\n

Now, a few thoughts from me on this game<\/span><\/p>\n

Indiana sold its soul for $3 million, but given l’affaire Bobby Knight<\/span>, one can debate whether Indiana has a soul. They traded a Big Ten home game for a road trip that puts than 500 miles further away from home than the “visiting” team.<\/p>\n

Based on what I am seeing on Twitter, Facebook and talking to people around the office, Nittany Lion fans are very excited about this game. Apparently, there are 40,000 alums in D.C.\/Va.\/Md.\/Del. Also, I know some Pennsylvania based fans who want come down. It should be a very good turnout. Indiana is on the hook for just 7,000 seats. While Penn State will certainly exceed that by a wide margin, will they buy 84,000 more? Maybe, Temple sold 69,000 tickets to their 2007 game with Penn State<\/span><\/a> at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field and that included forcing fans to buy a three game package.<\/p>\n

The Redskins initiated this game and will pay Indiana $3 million. Now, let’s say that tickets cost $55 and parking costs $25. This is probably a conservative guess. I’m going to say they sell 75,000 tickets which is $4,125,000. Let’s say 15,000 people park there, that’s another $375,000, so right there the Redskins have already grossed $1.5 million minus the $3 million they gave to Indiana. That is before anyone buys a concession too. Chances are attendance will be higher, maybe even a sellout which would mean another 15,000 tickets sold and probably 5,000 more parking spaces.<\/p>\n

Speaking of concessions, I do not know if they will be able to sell alcohol in the stadium. The Big Ten probably gets a say in that decision and they are ban alcohol in on-campus stadiums. Temple sold beer at Lincoln Financial Field two years ago.<\/p>\n

This won’t hurt Penn State’s recruiting efforts in the greater D.C. area either, though I don’t know that they can host potential recruits for the game.<\/p>\n

I for one, am really looking forward to this game. Just the thought of being able to take the Metro to a Penn State game is very exciting. I have been hoping Maryland would come back on the schedule for this reason. Speaking of Maryland, I wonder if they will be playing in College Park that day too. The game at FedEx Field might double their attendance.<\/p>\n
