[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 550844, member: 2426"] "EXPOSURE" is a reason GT would do this. I was responding to your post that said Alabama would do this. I didn't put numbers in, but if Alabama was to do this it would cost them at least $3 million in ticket sales alone. This response from you is that Alabama NEEDS exposure. Alabama has been in the national championship game four years in a row, which is a much bigger stage than moving a home game against an SEC team to a pro stadium. They don't need to lose money to get exposure. They play in a neutral site game every year, but they do it to make money. They play a single neutral site game against a P5 opponent, and then don't have to play an away game to make up for it, so they have 8 games a year that they make money from.(1 neutral and 7 home games). The only games that Alabama does not make direct income from are the four required SEC away games. I'll ask the question again in response to YOUR post, Why do you believe that [B]Alabama[/B] would lose money to play a [B]home[/B] game in a pro stadium? (By the way, I am not opposed to GT doing this. I am just calling bull on this justification from you.) [/QUOTE]
