What if the NU rivalry was done like UT-OU?

Would you like the Nub game as an annual rivalry game played in Denver?

For most of the UT vs OU series, the teams were in different conferences but they played every year in Dallas.

I'm looking at ticket prices at Folsom among the most expensive in the country for any game after last year's game in Lincoln having similar attendance. This game is obviously a big damn deal for fans and could be one of the biggest events on the college tv slate every year.

Would you like to see that same sort of UT-OU arrangement between CU and NU where we played at Mile High in Denver and split the gate like we have done with the CSU game?

Maybe that first weekend in October timed to go with Denver Beer Week and GABF?
 
If it could get the Red River level of exposure, hell yes. Just want to ensure we do not end up with a NU home game atmosphere in Denver every time we play them. I hate the ****ing red in the stadium and I think it might be a problem more years than not. Maybe once we get back to consistent winners and have do not have to go the efforts we did this year to try and keep the red out of Folsom
 
Revenue from ticket sales, concessions, and parking would be far less than if it were on campus, but of course, it would be every year revenue rather than every other year. If the financials worked out to be better, that’d be a plus.

The atmosphere would certainly be top notch, but I share the same concern as brad about Nebraska fans filling about 2/3 of the stadium most years.

Assuming both teams are consistently decent, the exposure would also definitely be pretty good on a national level with a prime time nationally televised network slot.

Tl/dr - It depends
 
I would obviously prefer for a home and home but l could put up with it if we got to play Nebraska every year. There is just nothing quite like that game.
 
Yes. Get me that rivalry game back on a freaking Nebraskan sow's ****-pie, I dont care. But get me that rivalry game back.
Better if on-campus home and home, but I dont need it on a silver platter.
 
prolly not in favor of locking in any OOC games long-term way the Pac schedule is now***......prefer "strategic" use playing OOC home-home in Texas or Florida (recruiting) or to "activate" East Coast alums (donors).....home-home with, totally hypothetical, like Syracuse, BC, Penn State....just riffing...

***we are just now getting out from under the CSU series....

edit: NFL stadiums are deadly to college football.....pointing out UT-OU is played in the Cotton Bowl which near as i can tell both fan bases think is a dump but "an old school dump"....and wouldn't change for the world.....say, vs. JerryWorld. that scenario was shot down pretty fast i think by both camps

Mile High Stadium in Denver already proved that it's worthless for college football.

Because of CU vs CSU? That doesn't prove anything other than two mediocre to very bad teams, one of which is a G5 program, have been playing there for much of the last 10-15 years. When both programs were good in the late 90's and early 2000's, that game atmosphere was awesome.

Are you sure the old Mile High Stadium didn't have something to do with that in addition to the newness of the current Mile High Stadium at the time? Anyone who has been to both stadiums for games can certainly tell the difference between both stadiums. After going to the upper deck during one preseason Broncos game, I'm never going to that stadium again unless it's in the lower bowl which I sat once for a Rapids game before Dick's Stadium was built. Big time difference between the lower bowl and upper deck at that new stadium. I also think the older stadium was better given how much I enjoyed going to Rockies games there before Coors Field opened.

Older stadiums do have charm and that is why I know many OU fans said that they would refuse to go to RRR games at Jerry World because it wouldn't be anywhere close to being the same as having the game at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas. It didn't matter to them if both teams were doing good...they would never go to Jerry World and I imagine Texas fans feel the same way.

College football games do not work at NFL stadiums.
 
Always wanted to ask this. Which has or had the better atmosphere for the CSU game, old Mile High or the one now? I went to old Mile High in 1992, the Cowboys had a game up there, my dad got us tickets through work. Only thing that ended up sucking was Elway got hurt before that game, ****ing Tommy Maddox started, I think. That was the loudest damn stadium I've ever been in, never been to Arrow Head.:D I get the Broncos were playing, and it's their town, which was better for the Rocky Mountain Showdown? As far as Nebraska, I love to hate them. If what I've been reading here is accurate, I don't have any reason to doubt it, I don't see the upside for CU in it.
