Wouldn't a home game be more profitable?

No.


Bama got 6.5 million last year, prior to expenses.

I am guessing a big ticket game at B-D is >$100, so figure 10,182,100 in revenue at minimum, just for tickets. The profits are almost the same. The advantage is location and a constant rotation of opponents

The average ticket would cost well under $100. The 15k, or however many seats the students get, would bring that average down.
