Re: Future football schedules (top post is current)
The 2025 game at Western Michigan was announced a week ago today. We'll be getting $350,000 for that one

Re: Future football schedules (top post is current)
I wish URI would schedule UConn again and UMass every other year, but I get it as it does not benefit those two programs. I am interested in what conference realignment will do to impact URI's nonconference schedule. Holy Cross is going to improve, their head coach is top notch. Look for him to replace Don Brown, when Brown steps down in a few years. Or become the new head coach at BC.

I think Brown and Bryant need to be on the schedule every year. The fans and schools want the in-state games to be played.

Re: Future Football Schedules (top post is current)
I am not for playing Bryant home and home. I know we signed a ten year contract with them so I will have to live with it. Even though they have a much better score board with replay capacity that is utilized and $7 beers, seating for the visitors is little league at best and concession access is weak. I sat on the stone wall in the north end zone and had a good view of the game. In my view we had a good size advantage and a huge speed advantage. The visitor side seating is blocked by the players.

Re: Future Football Schedules (top post is current)
I’m amazed that a team like Western Michigan can pay us $350k (great for URI), their attendance is like an average of 15k per game. They either charge way more per ticket than a FCS team or they use the $ they get from playing Michigan or Michigan St to pay for a buy game. Crazy I don’t think the financial difference between FCS and the lower tier FBS is that significant at all and I assume all are cannon fodder for the top rank FBS programs.

Re: Future Football Schedules (top post is current)
Western Michigan averaged 17,937 fans in 2019, which would be an average of $19.51 per ticket to break even in theory, but would probably be more in practice when you consider a game against a FCS school would probably draw less than average and students get free tickets there

Re: Future Football Schedules (top post is current)
I glad the team is getting what it gets, and I’m not complaining. It’s just amazing they can afford to pay this sort of payout when they don’t draw they well. The games we have against Pitt and BC make sense seeing both team average over 30k or game. Glad they pay whet they do just wondering about the economics of it all.RhowdyRam02 wrote: ↑1 year ago Western Michigan averaged 17,937 fans in 2019, which would be an average of $19.51 per ticket to break even in theory, but would probably be more in practice when you consider a game against a FCS school would probably draw less than average and students get free tickets there

Re: Future Football Schedules (top post is current)
Holy Cross is another team that FBS teams should be careful scheduling. Although I don't think Chesney will be there much longer. I watched them last night. Talk about a fun FCS team to watch. They are what UMass wishes they had as far as competitive nature and getting players to buy into the coaches system. Their head coach will end up at a D1 program, maybe Syracuse or UMass when their coaches get fired. Don Brown is a great coach, but the coaching job at UMass is probably the most challenging position right now. UMass looks like a D3 school when it comes to speed and not having a QB capable of passing.

Re: Future Football Schedules (top post is current)
Perhaps not just about the one-off game... WMU plays Michigan St in 2025 for a $1.5 million payoff. They also play Illinois the same season which is likely in the same ballpark. The year before (2024), the bailed on a game with Cincy (and a $500k buyout) in favor of a $1.8 million payday at Ohio St (net $1.3 million profit). So if they make $2.5-3 mill in buy games, have 1 home-home, and pay for an FCS school, it's still a major net win.R.Kelly150 wrote: ↑1 year agoI glad the team is getting what it gets, and I’m not complaining.

Re: Future Football Schedules (top post is current)
Good news/bad news for you. You can ignore the ten year contract, that is now out the window. Bad news is it's because Bryant is joining the CAA for football effective next season:damram wrote: ↑1 year ago I am not for playing Bryant home and home.

The Bryant game would be nice to have at the new Pawtucket stadium as a neutral site game. Try it once- see how well it sells and go from there.

Re: Future Football Schedules (top post is current)
No it wouldn't. You wouldn't be able to tailgate and there's not enough around there to make it worth it. That doesn't even get into the seating at that stadium probably won't be enough for what you're proposing. That also assumes the stadium will ever be finished.Bartoburger wrote: ↑10 months ago The Bryant game would be nice to have at the new Pawtucket stadium as a neutral site game.

If Bryant wants to use that stadium, if ever completed, for their home games we can't stop them but we should have nothing to do with it unless forced because of renovations to Meade

Does anyone feel safe parking their car in the Providence, Central Falls, Pawtucket area? I don't. I live in Providence and no place is safe anymore. It never was great, but now it is out of control.

Re: Future Football Schedules (top post is current)
First I think it would be benefit Bryant for one their URI home games as their stadium has a smaller capacity than Meade.bigappleram wrote: ↑10 months agoWhy would we sacrifice the gate, tailgate, packed house and great atmosphere for a night game in Kingston vs an in state school to go play in Pawtucket in a soccer stadium?Bartoburger wrote: ↑10 months ago The Bryant game would be nice to have at the new Pawtucket stadium as a neutral site game.

What is the difference watching a football game at a Soccer stadium than at an American Football stadium? Sight lines for seating are practically the same.
Why would you not promote your flagship school football program to another part of the state? This stadium is getting built. There are too many companies/groups involved for it to fail- plus the financing was finally secured.
I love the Rhode Island attitude on this board as if URI has a strong tradition of crowds over 10k and if another part of the state is more than 20 min away than it is too far away. Before they fix up a falling down Meade Stadium it wont hurt to have a game at the new Pawtucket Soccer stadium.- URI or Bryant! Other college football programs around the country have an occasional home game at another stadium AKA home away from home.

Again, if Bryant wants to play one of their home games there they're free to. I'm sure in terms of sight lines it will be more than fine, unlike trying to have a football game in a baseball stadium. That said, we should not be sending one of our home games an hour away from campus to a place that has no hope of having a proper atmosphere for a college football game

1 is Family Day which is already sold out
1 is Homecoming
We installed lights, a beautiful new field and we are making revisions to the East Stands to accommodate increased attendance.

Updated for the new season. I expect that we'll be getting a home game against Long Island sometime during this period, my guess would be 2026. We've already got our buy game scheduled and we need another out of conference game. Timeline would fit too to have six games in the newly renovated Meade

Re: Future Football Schedules (top post is current)
Pawtuckets new soccer stadium is it being designed for American football too? Sounds like a prime spot to host the state high school championship games in football.
Why is there a zero chance for URI and Bryant to play there Bigappleram? You have insider info? We are talking about two programs who struggle to get 7-8k for their home games. I dont think there would be a huge drop off in attendance if you had the URI/Bryant game at a neutral site.

Re: Future Football Schedules (top post is current)
If the schools struggle to draw at their own home why would they move the game away from their fanbase to a place where they don't have a fanbase and where you can't have any semblance of a college football atmosphere? Why would these schools give up the revenue of a homegame every other year?Bartoburger wrote: ↑5 months ago Pawtuckets new soccer stadium is it being designed for American football too?

Re: Future Football Schedules (top post is current)
Both schools are spending millions of dollars to improve their football facilities. Bryant already replaced their field turf this off-season and is starting a remodel of their visitors sideline the middle of this year. We're starting a $42 million remodel of the East side in November. We need home games to recoup costs and justify the expenditures.
