Cause that’s what he does
, Iran!!
I know you’re a straight up psycho, but haven’t you made the polar opposite argument before??? I.e., spending money on baseball is dumb??? I don’t care enough to look it up, but I think you have.
Sounds big until you remember the program costs $7.6 million to run every year. That one big weekend doesn’t even cover the light bill for Dudy Noble, much less the deficit.
So, do you know of any program, anywhere, in any league, in any sport, that quizzes fans when they go through the gates if they were there the day before?
He 100% has made the opposite argument
I was genuinely mainly just curious.
That stat hits like a fastball to the chest.
I think I’m going to sell off all my AAPL, AMZN, and NVDA unless they can quickly publish how many “unique dollars” are on their EBITDA statements.
Says the guy who threw in the towel on baseball Friday night in the 4th inning.
You did. Others told me you did. You might have been pressured into it- here the thread linked below where several were calling for me to be banned after making that joke. No hard feelings anymore btw.
I didn’t ban you for that. I know who did because they messaged me. You do realize that there’s multiple moderators on this board?
“Unique dollars” = real incremental spending coming from people who wouldn’t otherwise be in Starkville.
It was a weird question. Aren’t the people who scan tickets on a football or basketball Saturday the same ones who scanned one the previous Saturday?
Yes. I always want each dollar to be unique when I get paid. Otherwise I refuse to accept it.
I bet 85 percent of them are the same for basketball maybe a little less for football.
A big baseball weekend feels huge because Dudy Noble packs 14k+ fans per game- but unique visitation is dragged down by heavy repeat attendance- season ticket holders, students, locals, short drives- going Friday-Saturday-Sunday. It’s mostly the same 10k people that are already around. That means fewer new wallets- fewer hotel nights- and less incremental spending. A typical football home game draws more people in one day as baseball does in three, but with far higher unique visitors- meaning mostly out of towners staying overnight, eating multiple meals, buying gas, hotels, merch ect. The economic multiplier is dramatically higher for football and one game can generate 10 times the town impact of a baseball series.
Yes I know. And I too was messaged by more than one person that told me it was you. Look I said no hard feelings and I mean it.
