[QUOTE="LibertyTurns, post: 838133, member: 789"] We were already going to make the same amount in ticket sales whether the game is at Bobby Dodd or the Benz. The deal was that the Benz would draw more fans. Tennessee game we drew 75k & GT received $2.5M from Chik Fil-A. We had 5 games scheduled, the Notre Dame game got the axe. No $$ from that. This year I didn’t see any uplift from being at the Benz except for maybe 1-2k more UNC fans. Next year is Clemp on Labor Day weekend, I’m assuming Chik Fil-A. Probably have 60k fans and we should get $2.5M, maybe $3M. Year after that is TBD and I’m expecting the obligatory ACC suck *** team with no extra gate, year 5 is the Domers again. Assuming they flock down here and we have 60k at the game that will be worth $1.5M in extra gate. By my math that’s $4M for 4 games, $1M per game. I was being charitable adding $1M to this year because I don’t think we’ll see any $$ until next year. This Benz deal only works if we have more people at the game. It’s not like they’re paying us to play there. [/QUOTE]
