UConn collects seat donations for two locations. Cancel out the XL and all that seat donation money goes away. I figure that's gotta be at least $1M a year for the $1,000 seats alone. So any discussion of finances without factoring in that money is just bad faith.
Thanks, I had forgotten about that. I strongly doubt it turns renting a half empty XL Center into a profitable activity for the school.
For what it’s worth, I would love for the athletics department to do a breakout of the expenses and revenues associated with having a game at the XL versus having it a Gampel. While there are non-financial reasons at play here, I suspect it contributes to the $40 million deficit we see annually.
