However, Rutgers’ overall struggles at the box office — first reported by NJ Advance Media last September — was a significant factor in the revenue decrease.
In 2017, Rutgers average attendance was announced at 39,749 fans per game. But an NJ Advance Media review of how many fans actually entered the HighPoint.com Stadium gates for the seven home games showed that number to be considerably higher than the actual attendance.
Rutgers sold 23,812 football season tickets and averaged 24,416 fans per game in the 2017 season, according to ticket-scan totals obtained by NJ Advance Media.
Rutgers sold 28,478 season tickets in 2016 and 31,168 season tickets in 2015.
Here’s how much money Rutgers produced in football ticket-sales revenue during that span:
2015: $11,824,520
2016: $11,129,587
2017: $8,387,569
So when does Hobbs, and the BOG, look at revenue bottom line and compare this 2017 loss(god knows 2018 season and this season revenue will be WORSE),and say buying Ash out is a bargain compared to this continuous drain on the Athletics department and lost revenue ?
OR is this just HOBBS being that stubborn to admit his Ash ERROR?
