Seems like a pretty good solution that involves Yankee Stadium.

My tailgate beverages and food don't cost $80-100 per person.. that part is a bit foolish (IMH)

 

[bac2therac]

can he say how much money we are making in the deal as opposed to playing in Piscataway

What if it rains?

Yankees screw job on Rutgers.

Game should be played in primetime. Big Ten must make it happen, whether it's on ESPN, FS1 or BTN. Since Fox has a hand in YES Network, maybe we can get some synergy going with FS1 there.

What if it rains?

"The weather is usually good around that time of year,'' Holtzman said. "As long as it's not raining, we're good.''

While officials can set up heaters to keep the wrestlers warm, there's little they can do about a rare early-November snowstorm or rain.

"If we have inclement weather we could work around a canopy of some sort and obviously the match will be on the stadium video board,'' Hobbs said. "Obviously the hope is we don't get bad weather. You can get really good weather in early November and our wrestling coach, Scott Goodale, has said, 'As long as it's above 30 degrees, we're wrestling.'

I really hope they make it so you can leave the stadium with your ticket and come back! Don't want to be trapped in a stadium with rediculous food and drink prices for 9 hours

That's what they want! I highly doubt they will let you leave.

Another question is whether they will let you sit wherever you want for the wrestling match. Can you imagine the ushers sending people to the upper deck for the wrestling portion...lol

I've been to several RU games at Yankee Stadium and to be honest it was a big disappointment. No matter where you sit it's hard to get a good view of the game. The turf rips up real fast making the footing near impossible. Can anyone with insight explain why we are continuing to schedule football games in a baseball field? Thank you.

Can anyone tell me if the whole set up in Yankee Stadium was the completion of work agreed to and started under the former athletic director.... or is this wholly agreed to and arranged under the current athletic director?

Just a little confused on the history of this arrangement. Thanks to anyone who can shine a light on that.

I want every home football game at RU Stadium, but this deal was already cut and Hobbs is trying to make the most of it by generating as much exposure as possible.

We covered this in the another thread...you watch, it will happen just like below...

According to the article, seems like u can sit anywhere for the wrestling match..but assigned a seat for football.

Yeah, that will go over well...

"Those are my seats, bro."

"Yeah, at kickoff maybe, but not now brah."

"So you're not gonna move?"

"Not unless you make me, brah."

And we're off...lol

should have seen this discussion on the Basketball Forum when they announced the Women's-Men's double header.
