Alabama opened at Duke about fifteen years ago, and Tide fans found it far cheaper to buy season tickets in Durham than one game in Tuscaloosa. Wallace Wade* Stadium was full for that Saturday, but it was pretty bleak the rest of the year.
Letâs hope!
Tickets for that game sold out instantly. The stadium will be full of WVU fans
Miami athletics as a WHOLE DEPARTMENT brought in less than $1m in ticket sales in FY2024, not just football. In FY2024, Miami reported 933k in ticket revenue (295k football, 320k hockey, 180k Mens basketball).
FY2023 was better with 800k for football, but 2022 was at 250k for football so it bounces but still a long cry from making economical sense to turn away a 1m+ buy game. Weâre getting 1.6m for UW and 1.1m for Rutgers this year.
Howâd Miami vs Iowa at Yager do?
WVU fans only had access to 750 tickets. Reportedly 500 of their fans purchased bought season tickets to get early seats. I doubt there will be more than 5,000 of them in the stadium.
Basketball number is a huge step in the right direction.
Right after FSU joined the ACC, some Duke and Carolina fans figured out that they could buy season basketball tickets for the 'Noles and get guaranteed access to ACC tournament tickets for less than the minimum donation to the Iron Dukes or Rams Club to secure access through their own schools. FSU finally caught on after a couple of years.
I was there too. I know I have been there at least once since to see us lose.
It has already been announced as a sellout. Of course, this is the defending MAC championship team vs A very close P4 with a big loyal following.
Free shots of moonshine to each fan for each missing tooth.
And less than 10 teeth for the combined fan bases!! 
So is it safe to say the last UC home game brought in about $500k of extra ticket revenue?
At IU in â77 it was Kaiser Homan for the win.
If thereâs any P&G employees out here, have CREST Toothpaste sponsor the WVU - OU game
How much money does the MACtion weeknight games bring in? I think that money should make up for the lost ticket revenue
Yâall, there are plenty of other ways to make fun of OU that donât traffic in Appalachian stereotypes. Anyone here ever been so poor that they grew up in a town without fluoridated water and couldnât afford to go to the dentist? That was the Old Bobcat. The first time he ever saw one was right before he got sent to Korea, and the Army decided to pull all his teeth rather than try to fix them. At least he got some free dentures out of the deal.

No.
Game moved from Sep 16th 2028 to August 26th. Previously would have been Week 0, but now beginning in 2027, the season starts a week earlier.
Also a second game in 2030 was added, also week 1 (August 31)
