$500K, and Classic Might Stay in Jackson

The city of Jackson isn't making 3 million off this game. That figure is the economic impact, how much is being spent at hotels, etc. A 3 million dollar economic impact isn't enough to justify the amount of money Brown is talking. To put that number in perspective, the economic impact for the Southern Heritage Classic to the city of Memphis is around 16 million.

Exactly... also the SHC has sponsors and they still don't give us $500K.
 



I would love to have Chris Brown at JSU. He seems to be strictly about business.

I wouldn't. He aiight but I don't think he is at the level of what we need at JSU yet. He seems to make some necessary hard decisions but I have not heard of any improvements of money/partnerships being brought to Alcorn since his arrival. He is not ready to lead a research level school.

Of course I mean once he gets some experience. If gets a school with some market power, dude will bust some balls.
 
No he won't as another school that has a real board will shut him up and let the people he hire make decisions. From the botched search, the hook up hires, etc., he is perfect where he is at.
 
Jsu doesn't travel well. Alcorn will be able to handle that crowd. Please don't compare the Bayou Classic to the Soul Bowl. We have been in a totally different class from you all for years.

If that's so, why is one school consistently in the FCS top five every year in attendance? That one school shole ain't Southern. LOL!!
 
I'm sure Alcorn Prez saw these numbers I posted in another thread and realized they were being cheated out of some money. And those numbers doesn't include concession, parking, vendors, and the overall economic impact (hotels, restaurant, shopping, etc.) in Jackson, MS. With the game being at Alcorn that might justify having a McDonald's, Taco Bell, Popeyes, Burger King, and other restaurants in Lorman, MS.

:lmao:

Because the Superdome is a neutral site and a much bigger venue than Mumford or Memorial. I don't think there's a stadium in the State of Mississippi that can accomodate as many people as the Superdome.

Lets do the math:

Superdome
Capacity 80,000
Average ticket price $25.00
Revenue $2,000,000.00
Dome rental cost $(250,000.00)
Profit $1,750,000.00
Split between both schools $875,000.00


Memorial
Capacity 50,000
Average ticket price $25.00
Revenue $1,250,000.00
Profit $1,250,000.00
Split between both schools $625,000.00

Any business conscious person would know the Dome would make way more sense.

Now lets see how they came up with that $500,000 minimum:

Memorial(jsu-Alcorn)
Game Attendance 40,000
Average ticket price $25.00
Revenue $1,000,000.00
Profit $1,000,000.00
Split between both schools $500,000.00

I think JSU has been cheating someone.

Hey JROCK,

I think jayrob is right. Since Mr. Charlie owns their stadium, all their home games are like away games to them.

yeah...jayrob is a special one! jrock says jsu doesnt travel well, and his reply....home attendance records. Poor lil tink tink :lol:
 
Good for you Alcorn!.. Memphis makes around $16 million from the SHC. If would TSU and JSU I would ask for $2 million each. :cool:

Dude, nobody needs to look at tspnsports to come up with simple math numbers.
And when was the last time the BC even came near 80,000? You just making up stuff.

Let Alcorn have their home game and see how expensive it's going to be and how chaotic it will be.
Jackson's more than use to large numbers.

Either the news hasn't gotten to you or you're just voluntarily ignorant of the fact that JSU owns Memorial. It'll be our choice to turn it over to the state if we choose to, but we sure don't have to pay thousands for the upkeep like other schools.

As far as road games, tell me how to calculate road attendance numbers. LOL!!
What I do know is we constantly sellout SU, Grambling's attendance is above average when JSU comes to town, as does Bama State's. We average 50,000 in Memphis on a yearly basis, we average 40,000 during the Alcorn game.
Anytime we have a classic game on the road, our numbers are usually 45,000 plus.
Now again, tell me how to calculate road numbers.

If you go back and read my previous post carefully, you'll noticed that I said Superdome capacity. Nothing was said about previous Bayou Classic attendance. The highest attended Bayou Classic was between76,000 to 77,000, but I'm sure your ignorant ass knew that.

Highest attended BC:
1974 - 76,753

JROCK was talking about jSU not traveling well, but somehow you started talking about being in the FCS top five every year in attendance, which is your school's HOME ATTENDANCE RECORD. Your ignorant ass would give a person a headache.

Where did u get this dumb isht from?
 



Good for you Alcorn!.. Memphis makes around $16 million from the SHC. If would TSU and JSU I would ask for $2 million each. :cool:

Economic impact and revenue are 2 different things. the SHC does not generate 16 million in profit. The 16 million is how much is spent in the city by classic goers.
 
Exactly... also the SHC has sponsors and they still don't give us $500K.

im sorry I didnt know yall were getting screwed like that. Do they at least offer some grease. I just did some ghetto math. 50000 tickets at $35 dollars apiece is 1.75 million. Plus parking. Tailgating, merchindise, conssesions, etc u talking close to 5 million dollars. If im jsu and or tsu I need to get 500k or im tearing my ass..
 
I respect him for wanting more for his institution, but he has to come to terms with reality. And reality is that the bulk of the money that is being generated in this city for that game, inclusive of the ticket sales and tailgating, is derived from JSU folks. What most of y'all fail to realize, while sack riding Alcorn, is that they don't bring the numbers to this game. There's a reason Meyers has been quiet about this. Let them take the game back to Alcorn during their home years...they deserve it.

Unless I am mistaken, JSU's homecoming generate more, or just as much, as this game does in a weekend. What will be interesting is just how much that weekend will lose in revenue this year. Alcorn students are still going to travel to Jackson to buy outfits, etc. for this game. Furthermore, the after parties, at least for JSU folks, will probably still be going on that weekend...especially with the 1 pm game time. The only sector that may take the largest hit are the hotels.

Memorial holds more than 50k though...
 
Trying to understand jSU's logic would make anyone just say, what the fugg are they teaching them at that school.

It's Alcorn's home game and no matters which school has the most in-attendance, Alcorn should make the most money for its home game. Not only Alcorn should demand their share of the wealth, but they should also require that the endzones be re-painted purple and gold with Alcorn Braves stamped all over it when it's their home game.
