I agree with you gfunk. The one thing that they didn't tell you is that it cost about 2 million as well to travel the team, band, and it's entourage. So that's only a net income of about 2 million. It makes no sense to travel and impact someone else's economy (Houston or Dallas) when it's the state of Louisiana and mainly the Baton Rouge business that support LSU athletics.


$2 million to bring the team and band to Dallas? If the flights were $500 for 1st class tickets you could fly 4,000 people to the game.

If you are counting expenses it cost a whole lot more to have a home game than to travel.
