-- [ From: Kepler * EMC.Ver #2.5.02 ] -- How big business is college hockey? In the spirit of "Net Worth", my humble attempt at a first guess. I've tried to guess rather conservatively. Assumptions: ----------------- 30 D I programs that charge for tickets 75% average rink capacity 4,000 average rink size $6 average per ticket sold each of programs above has an average of 15 home dates. 30 x .75 x 4000 x 6 x 15 = $8.1 million in ticket sales. Not counting tournaments, concessions, merchandise, and other such, $8,000, 000 is not an incredible amount -- but it is not chicken feed either. -- Greg R.
