Just 250 miles west.....

Ticket Revenue $10,036,174
Contributions $10,499,478

Only AAC school to generate more revenue from the fan base than receiving in subsidies.

It can be done. Even at a "Basketball School"

I never said it couldn't be done. I just said the problems MT faces aren't unique.

As Mike mentioned, we have not won big or consistent in FB. 1-5 in bowls will not create excitement. The other item is we do not have any mega donors. How many donors do we have that give $1m or more per year. I bet none.
I am disappointed in MBB season ticket sales and attendance. We are winning on the national stage and yet we can't get 10k in the Murph.I spoke with a longtime MBB season ticket holder the other day that said he buys tickets but doesn't go to many games because it's cold walking up the steps. Hell he's my age. I asked if he owned a coat and if he didnt go buy one and get his azz to every game. Geez, the laziness of people in the area.

You can cure the cold entrance to The Murph by entering through the tunnel and taking the elevator up with us old folks.

Gotta admit: the steps going up from the Greenland lot and the walk to the entrance along the side can be the coldest place in all of Middle Tennessee. Frozen my a-- off many times.

Need to build a large parking garage next to Murphy Center with a pedestrian bridge or two to the track level. Given the high geriatric percent of our fan base, don't stress them out by making them walk up those steps.
