Rutgers is Paying Yankees $70K to Play at Yankee Stadium?
- Thread starter Knight Shift
- Start date
It is not one game.
It is like the fourth game there.
If no one goes, they will get the hint.
I don't think so. Move of the HS's around nowadays have great new field-turf. And theirs doesn't peel up constantly all game long.
If we were talking about playing in the Meadowlands, then I could see it being a possibly very minor recruiting thing. But I'm pretty sure no recruit is going to change his decision of where to play based on the fact that we're going to play one game in Yankee Stadium. And if that DOES change their decision about where to attend college and play football, then I would question their character.

Probably better conditions than they'd see on a battlefield in Afghanistan, probably better conditions than they'd see inside the Grand Canyon and probably better conditions than they'd see on the surface of the moon.
I'm shocked at all the push back from everyone on here. I get all of the complaints (field, viewing, money), but why isn't anyone looking at the positives here. Don't you want RU to not just be NJs team, but NYCs? This is good for Rutgers, good for the B1G, and something I don't see anyone addressing on here, its GREAT for the wrestling team!
My biggest concern is the field conditions. I sincerely hope they address that. The last time we played there, the sod over the infield was straight up dangerous. Other than that, I don't give a crap about us making less money on one game. I'm looking big picture. And I think this is great.

Yes, if the game is well-promoted. Tons of RU and Maryland grads in NYC and I can guarantee there are a good number of Terps fans who will take the train up for the weekend from the D.C. area.
NYC will back a winning team. Playing a game is YS hasn't helped us before and it won't help us now. Let's put on our big boy panties and keep our home games at home.
when this was first reported you had people here wondering what was thrown into the deal for the deal-makers... yankee tickets, throwing out the first pitch, etc etc.
