When I say seats it is not just the seat but the add on to seat cost liked food / merchandise / parking / ect. If you have 50,000 at stadium A and 100,000 at stadium B then stadium B should sell much more stuff.

For football the gap is wide, but basketball you would also have to compare average seat ticket price.

Agreed, but lower level women's basketball at Tennessee come with a "donation" of 1,000 per seat (in addition to the cost of the actual ticket of about 250) which is why I did not factor in the Tennessee Fund. How many Women's College Basketball seats in Mizzou sell for $1,250 per seat? Here is a LINK - Lady Vols Lower Level (does not include corporate suites on level 2) and Mizzou season tickets cost 50 bucks and no donation (except maybe courtside)

Lady Vols = $1,250 per seat
Lady Tigers = $50 per seat

Does this make it a bit clearer?

Mid Court seats for the Tennessee Men run
25,000 initial "donation" + 10,000 annual "donation" + annual cost of actual tickets

Lord, if you add in the K Fund for UK basketball you are talking really big numbers. Are you saying Mizzou basketball is anywhere near UK basketball for "true cost" of basketball tickets? The TSF may look expensive to Mizzou folks but it is dirt cheap when up against "legacy" football and basketball programs in the rest of the SEC.

Keep in mind, the previous post you quoted from did not include any "donation" money in the Tennessee Fund numbers.

@ This thread, UT wins hands down and it isn't even close. Guess this is what happens when you put your four patsies first on you schedule. Hell your fans spent a summer bitching about not pass outs during half time. Mizzou is not prepared for the SEC.
