Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 4205550, member: 44"] So if we have a packs packed XL Center, uconn rental is approximately $89,000? So, potentially, a packed XL center would make like $60,000 more than a packed Gampel arena. Of course at Gampel you’d also have additional revenue from parking and concessions. Figure parking at north and south garage probably make some thing close to $30,000 per game and that reduces the net benefit of playing in Hartford to $30,000 before we consider whatever the value of concessions is on a per game basis. It also doesn’t include transportation costs of the team to Hartford, and lodging if the team still stays there overnight before games. (I think they used to do this in the Calhoun days.) That computation is very back of the envelope. If anyone wants to take the time to actually refine it feel free. In any event it seems like the optimal amount of money that can be made at a full house in Hartford versus a full house at the University is maybe $20,000. [/QUOTE]
