Seriously? $8,000,000 each home game? Not doubting just stunned at the figure.

I think the $8 mill figure is a little skewed. Somebody did a master's thesis years ago looking at the economic stimulus for Baton Rouge in day vs night games and quality of opponent.

It is a staggering difference but don't recall the actual numbers off hand

That's what I learned in 2010. Of course that's been six years, but I can't imagine the figure has changed too drastically.

Here's a great article containing some figures that relate to the topic. It's mind boggling how much the athletic department impacts the Baton Rouge economy.
