That makes sense, I would say 80% of tix for sale on 3rd party sides are on FSU side

LSU and FSU would still make more with home games.


Maybe revenue wise. But profit wise they make more and its not close

But we lose a home game. 100k tickets at $50 is $5mil. FSU game would sell for ~$100/ticket probably $125, then we get concession sales etc...
And we don't pay the operating cost of hosting 100K people for the weekend.

If that was the case they would not be playing neutral site games. This also means you don't lose the revenue from the return trip.

Not a fan of the neutral games either but this is not going to happen

It's already happening.
UCLA is a home and home, Texas was supposed to be a H&H, Clemson, OU, Arizona State, & Utah are all scheduled H&H. OU will be in SEC by then so idk how that works. FSU next year in Orlando and USC in Vegas are the only neutral sites we have scheduled for the next decade. It's not due to poor crowds, but feedback from season ticket holders is more H&H and less neutral sites.

FSU partnered with a ticket broker, sold what they could, and the remaining were purchased by the broker.

Judging by the tickets available I’d say there will be plenty of empty seats.

Can't say I blame them. Who in the heck wants to travel to Chicago South (NOLA) and risk getting picked off by cockroaches as they exit the stadium after the game?

For you FSU fans brave enough to show up at the Dome for the game? I strongly urge you practice swivel head techniques, and wear body armour. Plus when you get out of your taxi, hunch down and don't make eye contact. I'm serious.

Good luck.

It’s true, plus look at all the ticket outlets. Every seat available is on FSU side.

Not accurate at all. Maybe you’re thinking of Miami.

With that said, the crowd will likely be 2/3 LSU fans. It will be the opposite next season in Orlando.

They had 28,000 under capacity at their game Saturday. There was no way they bought 30,000 tickets for a road game.


It was also raining vs the school for the blind.

Living in fear? How about voting against senseless violent crime, a corrupt mayor, and a severely short-handed police force with your wallet?

FSU will show up but the vast majority of tickets for sale on stubhub and other sites were in the FSU sections, many club seats for lower prices than lsu regular seats.

This makes sense. I found it very surprising when it was announced that they sold 30k that quickly.

Neutral Site Games Suck. Been to many, would rather play at a college environment…otherwise I could just go to NFL.
