Much different revenue situation. Will be a home game so it’s Milwaukee not Madison. Depends on tix pricing but 99% it’s won’t be more revenue

They would probably get 15,000 in the Kohl Center for that game, doubt it gets more that 20,000 for this one. Seating and sight lines are not ideal. Aurora will pay a sponsor cost, K State and Stanford might get a %. Then factor in just hard costs it’s not some windfall

Lots of nose bleed seats for basketball.
