Be interesting for Star Tribune's Shipley to find out if this will be the biggest revenue game ever at TCF.
He is a big time reporter who likes to dig deep and get to the core of the big economic issues in sports.
The big ticket price hikes started in 2015 and were phased in (2017 hike was cancelled, iirc)...I think this may be biggest crowd with the fully priced tickets so far. Iowa game in 2016 was announced 49,000, that was 11 a.m...night game, 6:30 p.m. start prbly means better booze and dinner concession sales?
This might be the highest surcharge game for a premium opponent so far as well; can't remember what that 2016 game surcharge was....i know this one has a lot of $200-plus tickets in effort to soak up some of the Big Red dollars.
Trick is getting the U Athletic Department to help with the info on dollars and to have them correctly factor in the "scholarship" donations for season ticket holders as part of the revenue and getting the full parking revenue factored in.
I would think PJ would encourage Coyle to get some positive news out showing the great economic support and economic impact the team has to dispel some of earlier coverage about how bad support is and to get some love from area businesses.
Lot of sold out sections. Looks like only non-singles left are in the $160 and up sections...mainly the $200 and up options...maybe 2,000 of those available if gophersports seat chart is accurate.
