I think it will be interesting to watch as those who say they wanted this get priced out. The ticket prices at CU are minimal compared to who they want to compete with but will surely (and need to ) jump 30-40 percent or so the next couple years.
It works in the NFL as they somehow get a majority blue collar crowd to spend most of their disposable income on tickets and tv subscriptions. College could work but only if they raise prices to where you don’t also need donations to buy them.
Again, CU is woefully cheap for the game they want to play. The seats midfield at CU are 250-350 a seat donation plus cheap ticket prices. At Texas they are 900-1500 and will rise. At what point do people break. Not there yet but could be interesting to watch
