at University of Kentucky ..
so consider this...

They sell out every one of about 20 home games......
that's over 23,000 seats sold at $40 bucks each in the lower bowl and $35 ea in the upper bowl..
So the gate receipts for a single game are about $800,000, or over $15,000,000 a year plus "maintainence...
not bad...

I work in Cincinnati and there are a ton of UK fans everywhere...drives me a bit crazy at times. Anyhow, I've witnessed several co-workers pay more than 3x that amount to get their tickets to a UK non-conf game against a nobody. I know UK doesn't necessarily see that mark-up, but I would love to know their maintenance fees.
