2009 RMS to be played in Boulder

I can just hear Clough now "The CU administration has proven it's just as classless at its fan base" or some such nonsense.
 
Okay, I wasnt a huge fan before I became a student in 04. Was there the same backlash when the game was played in Folsom after being played in Invesco before for a few years?
 
heard a few rammies talk about how Hughes will be rockin in 2010 and we won't know what to do.....bout spit my beer out laughing....:lol:...did they forget we play in stadiums that 1. Sell Out, 2. Are Loud as Hell & 3. Hold 2-3 times as many screaming fans as Hughes....not to mention that there will be a lot of Gold in FOCO in 2010!!!!

It seems like they at the very least think they can skip the payday
Statement from Paul Kowalczyk

CSU AD responds to announcement by CU to play 2009 football game in Boulder

CU will play CSU at Hughes Stadium in 2010

Aug. 29, 2008

"We are disappointed by CU's decision as we believe the series ultimately belongs in Denver. However, in light of CU's decision to play the 2009 game in Boulder, we believe we owe it to Colorado State University, our alumni, fans, students and the City of Fort Collins to bring the 2010 game back to Hughes Stadium. We look forward to working with CU to ensure the continuation of the series beyond 2010."

Want to bet that csu ends up only selling tickets to the CU game in 2010 as some sort of package.....

1) you want a CU ticket you must buy Nevada and SDSU tickets too...

or

2) they will force people to buy season tickets


wouldn't surprise me one bit-

yeah...except if they do that, they're going to find out that their fans won't be willing to spend any extra money to have to watch their crap ass team play more than once...so they'll have trouble even selling he CU game out then

I stand corrected. They really will cut off their nose to spite their face. Who knew?

After they pay CU $650k and pay all their event staff and gameday expenses, is there anything left for them? LMAO

If they do that, the series is over. Put a nail in the coffin because CU will do the same to them on Folsom games and the series will go away.
 
It'll be great to see a stadium half full of these morons up at Ft fun.

:lol: :lol:

we were just discussing this. estimating 29k paying fans (10k is students and their all time high attendance was 39k), and factoring an average gameday ticket at $35 (some are less, some are more), they will net 875k on average joe type tix. do they have luxury boxes that net mad cash?

i know that cu's sold out game day outlook is far different. our luxury suites (full) bring in hella green. our increased crowd size and ticket mean that even with a payout of 650k, this move makes SENSE.

ram fans claimed our calculators are broken. i would like to hear their take about how exactly so.

their move assured that the csu game in 2010 is on my calendar to fly in for. a significant chunk of the ticket will go to cu, anyway. and i would be so glad to be a part of a buff crowd that dwindles theirs on what may be the last game of the series for some time.

if they three pack the ticket, i can unload the extra games on ebay, or give them to unruly friends who would dress in visitor colors and heckle the locals for two games for the sheer sport of it.

CSU has 34k seats, no luxury suites. At $650k, they would have to pay $19 of every seat directly to CU before they can even deduct gameday expenses. There will be little left for them at the end of the day. But at least they'll have their dignity. LMAO.

I hope we never play another game in Invesco after Sunday even if it means we have to go to goat country every other year.

If they three-pack the tickets, CU will do it right back to them. And our tickets are more expensive. :smile2:
 
There seems to be now way for CSU to earn any money playing the game at home.

Should be fun parking in their dirt-field parking lot :lol:

Whoa there grammar

its worse. 10k seats go to students for free. that makes the burden $27 per ticket.

their people are used to paying about $30 for their top dollar opponents. the rms is by far their worst of the year - because they have to pay rent. i can see ram fans ditching the ticket price.
