prices=more tickets sales. There is an equilibrium. Beer. We need beer sales.
Bring back Coke and ditch Pepsi.

Scenes from the sidelines during the game between Florida and Eastern
Kentucky at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium on Nov. 22, 2014. Florida defeated Eastern
Kentucky 52-3. Matt Stamey/Gainesville Sun By Kevin Brockway
Gainesville SUN Staff writer

There’s a new offensive-oriented coach, new facilities and a new reason for
optimism for the Florida football program. How will it translate from a revenue
standpoint? With the season fast approaching, Florida is making a push to get
attendance back at full capacity and improve in-game revenue at The Swamp this
season. Last season, Florida made $93,300 in six home dates (minus the Idaho
rainout), down from $600,000 in six home dates the season before. In Florida’s
annual operating budget, the school cited a reduction in luxury ticket and
season ticket sales and an increase in guarantees and season ticket prices as
reasons for the decline. Florida associate athletic director Mike Hill said
luxury suites at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium are sold out. The issue, Hill says,
stems more from premium seating. “We still have some premium seats that we have
to move that are up in the champions club and in the touchdown terrace,” Hill
said. “And sales for those seats are comparable to the last couple of years.”
Florida went 3-3 at The Swamp last season, losing at home to LSU, Missouri and
South Carolina. That prompted a coaching change from Will Muschamp to former
Colorado State coach and Alabama offensive coordinator Jim McElwain. Hill said
the coaching change hasn’t resulted in significant bump in ticket sales to this
point. But there is still time to make a push on sales this month before
Florida opens the season Sept. 5 against New Mexico State. The school launched
a Twitter campaign last Monday, “This Gator will be in The Swamp”, that
resulted in a 7,000 boost in student ticket sales. Florida’s sales staff has
partnered with IMG Learfield to help sell general and premium seating. “We had
a very busy August last year and we expect that to be the case again with
practice starting next week (this Thursday) and the excitement that’s
building,” Hill said last week. “That’s typically when sales start to heat up
again.” While in-game revenue declined sharply, Florida’s football ticket
revenue remained steady, at $21.4 million in 2014 compared to $22.5 million the
season before. “Fortunately last year we were able to stabilize our season
ticket sales and we’re trying to build upon that this year,” Hill said. “We had
some attrition a year ago but we brought about new season ticket holders which
replaced those who had left after a 4-8 season. It was really impressive. I
think we were only a couple of hundred tickets off of the previous years season
ticket sales.” Florida sold out 137 straight football games from 1990-2010, a
streak likely to be unmatched in an improved technological era. More college
football games are available than ever on television, resulting in greater
media revenue streams for power conferences and their members. With the launch
of the SEC Network, Florida made $31.1 million in conference revenue sharing in
June, an increase of more than $8 million from the season before. Along with
schools throughout the country, Florida has invested to improve the in-game fan
experience at The Swamp by increasing wireless signal coverage and capacity. An
antenna system within the stadium has resulted in fewer dead spots, allowing
fans to interact on their smartphones. “It’s been successful but that’s a
never-ending process,” Hill said. “You are constantly tweaking that system to
make sure that if you have any zones in the stadium or any gaps where people
are having some struggles, that we can address that in some way. But it’s been
very, very well received and we continue to upgrade that again for this coming
year.” Hill said there are a handful of other fan initiatives that Florida
plans to introduce this season. “We do have a season ticket holders concession
cup that we’re offering where it’s basically a refillable cup for the entire
season for season ticket holders,” Hill said. “We do have some other
initiatives that are awaiting final approval that should have an impact on all
fans.” Another factor that could help boost UF’s attendance? Florida will open
the season with a pair of night kickoffs, 7:30 p.m. vs. New Mexico and 7 p.m.
on Sept. 12 against East Carolina. In prior seasons, Florida had been saddled
with early to mid-afternoon starts in September. That kept some fans away from
the stadium who didn’t want to sit in oppressive heat and humidity. “That’s
probably the biggest gift we can get,” Hill said. “In September the games are
so warm and to be able to kick at night, that’s huge for our fans … the surveys
that we’ve conducted, it’s very clear game times matter to our fans.” Contact
