Not a bad place to watch a game, and good parking.

absolutely...saw Bruce Springsteen and the Rolling Stones there, too....
Only football game I ever saw there was a 31-3 (or something like that) thumping by L'ville in a wind chill of about 6 degrees.
(The concerts were much better)

.....not sure if this has been reported.

Go to the first post in the "Football costs $500,000 per year" Thread that was started 2 years ago.......................

Nevertheless, Bjorn and the URI administration are committed to football. A big reason that critics usually fail to comprehend is that football costs the university about $500,000. That’s all. You see, the football operating budget is about $1.3 million, and the athletic department raises about $800,000 of that total. This year the projections are $200,000 from donations and $150,000 from ticket sales. Syracuse paid a $400,000 guarantee. That’s right, the Rams collected $400,000 to travel to upstate New York to get whipped. Next year URI will head to Kansas for $500,000 and in 2017 to Eastern Michigan for $400,000. Boston College and UConn are future guarantee games.

Don't know if a Year was ever announced, but UCONN and Boston College were mentioned.
