The number of alumni in the area seems to be of little importance when there is a a high level of apathy by the alumni towards football....which is evidenced by the attendance problems SJSU has had forever. Market penetration is the forgotten metric that seems to get ignored during all this conference movement.

Fixed if for you.

And yet, here you are on the internet like the rest of the world. What a sheep!

This from the biggest idiot fan of a school that’s had one or two winning seasons in football in the last 30 years! You’re delusional….and that’s the nicest thing that can be said about you.

Unlike you, she lives in reality. Pipe down.

Well we're not missing out on your content over there, that's for sure. Let's keep it that way.

Come on, the board wasn't working for weeks....like nothing. How else were people going to the traitor board? Well, there are other boards out there and the word got around that the PAC board was an option. Don't blame Mug because prisoners finally wandered out of the prison that the warden had abandoned years ago and left in a state of disrepair.

Considering he didn't even notice for almost a month, I'd say probably not.

What year was that? Times have changed in the concert business. Shows that used to hit mid-sized markets are now skipping them. COVID and the change in revenue mix between touring and record sales from days gone by has changed the business of touring.

This poor idiot. He's all over the internet, though he probably hasn't seen it since he's in jail, so he's in for a real surprise! I love how he thinks he's being so accommodating by narrating his parking progress. The judge was hilarious as well. Even if the charge wasn't for driving, why in the world would you not just pull over and jump on the zoom call while parked? Using your phone while driving is against the law in most states anyway. Thank God for people like this though...for our entertainment, not for the good of humanity.

It doesn't include Carson City or Douglas County....or Fernley for that matter. Carson City has 60K, Douglas 50K, and Fernley 25K...all of which are 50 miles or closer to Reno. Including those, like Convert mentioned, puts the Reno Metro Area at 700K. I'd even argue that the California side of Tahoe and up to Truckee should be included in the Metro area.

I remember when the entire state had less than 1M people...that's crazy.

Look at the tour stops for all the big name artists on tour this summer and see how many are in metro areas under 500K and at college football stadiums...very few, if any these days. For one, artists booking larger shows prefer to book in venues that are enclose or the roof can be closed to avoid losing money when they have to cancel due to weather. And even though venues pay a flat fee to bigger name artists more often than there being a split in ticket sales, the number of tickets sold has to make sense for the venue to make a profit and for the band to make more in merch sales. Very few big bands that can fill a 40k stadium (probably 30K or less in a concert configuration) will opt to go to Ft. Collins when Denver is 60 miles away. Not to mention the fact that most promoters already have deals in place with larger venues. If CSU can attract big name bands, then more power to them, but I think it's pretty unlikely. That's not to say that they can't rent it out for smaller events and make some money, but I doubt larger concerts will happen there.

Which numbers, exactly, are you implying are not accurately stated on the balance sheet (and in the audit)?
