Listen up PV, GSU, SU ASU, etc. We have a capabale AD at the helm and he knows numbers. Let's evaluate:
1) This game is a TSU home game which means no revenue split with PV
2) 12,000 seat venue-tickets will probably be priced at $20. Let's say 8,000 x $20.00 = $160,000. So, can you say we will easliy clear at least $100,000.
3) Keep the game at delamar and I see $$$ signs
4) The atmosphere is going to be electric
I am reposting what I typed in this thread earlier.....this is for the PV folks , GSU folks, and SWACINSIDER.......So, why can't you people accept the fact that the game is going to be palyed at Delmar and it is a financial move for us? You folks do realize that the entire country, state, and city are in a budget crunch. That said, TSU is doing what is best for us and if you don't like it, then stay your ass at home. It is NOT called the LDC this year because it is NOT Labor Day when the game is played. All of you guys are hating because you fear what a winning program at TSU will do.
TSU has a large alumni base in Houston, the big city with lots to do and over the years we did NOT win- so as many Houstonians- if you do not win then we are not coming. Ask the Rockets, Astros, and soon to be Texans if they don't get it together. We all know what TSU fans, students, and alumni will do behind a winner. We showed up for Southern and went to Birmingham and we are not a traveling school. Once we play in our stadium, yes, OUR stadium we will increase our fan base, increase our revenue, and take over the SWAC as I stated before.
How many times have we heard GSU and JSU folks say if my school was in Houston we would have big crowds....BullSCh** you would not. GSU goes on the road because nobody will travel to Grambling-check the attendance. As far as our fans looking to play PV- many of the black folks in Houston go to see two black schools play and because they know someone who has graduated form one or both schools and to see the bands. Hell, PV folks are happy to play us and in Houston trust me on that. I can't count the times over the years where PV folks hoped, prayed, fasted, chanted, performed voodoo, etc. hoping to beat TSU. If I had a dollar for everytime I heard people say the games between TSU vs PV are boring I would be rich and could have built TSU a stadium in cash years ago. Hell, I went to the game to support TSU because by the time it was 50-0 leaving after halftime was the norm for many. Sorry ass PV is the reason the game never drew 50K because of the poor performing team.
State Fair Classic- as you mentioned 80 years of history so most of the people there go to participate in the circus. Take away the Fair and it would be just another game. I heard back in the 60s TSU vs GSU use to draw 40K-50K so again PV has looked forward to playing us not the other way around.
This season, watch how many GSU folks come to GSU to see us play, hell look at how many of them came out on a Thursday night to play us in 2010. As the season progressed TSU's crowds grew. Just admit it you folks fear what is going to happen in the SWAC and that is what- let's say it together TSU is going to take over the SWAC! Now, you feel better- breathe!
Last time I checked, we are playing the game at Delmar.
