They have now sold out 5 consecutive home meets, dating back to last year, on Livinston!
 
Thats very impressive ! What do they charge? Is Gymnastics now a near Revenue Sport? Wrestling is getting that way it seems as well.

Good. So long as they keep selling out raise the prices a bit. I've got no issue with that!
 
They will consistently sell out the Livi Gym now because the team is getting better consistently in 195 range and the quad meet format they use for most of their meets so it's four teams fans all in one place

I don't think you will find a gymnastics program even remotely close to being revenue positive in the whole country. Iowa and Penn St. are the only wrestling schools that are close to being revenue positive.

The numbers matter: With $205,629 in contributions in
2013, Rutgers gymnastics brought in five to 10 times most women's sports
and almost twice as much as basketball, though still not as much as its
counterparts at Maryland or Penn State. As a result, Rutgers, which
used fewer scholarships (9.75) than Maryland, Penn State and Nebraska,
relied on $587,722 in student fees and direct institutional support -
less than most of its peers in the department - to balance its budget.
It added a revenue source in 2014 as it began charging admission and
still sold out Senior Day. Travel costs ($91,239) might not jump much
given only three or four road trips are required annually.
 
It is nice that sports like gymnastics, swimming, track, wrestling, crew, golf, etc, can have quad+ meets to save on multiple travel dates.
