List,

Enjoying this discussion.

Question: does anyone know how much teams get to play in those 'special'
neutral site games like the ones they have down here in JerryWorld?

I could imagine it's not $5M, but maybe enough that these schools might
offset the loss of a home game every once and a while.  And I think the
market would support a LOT more of these.  And there are plenty of empty
NFL stadiums on Saturdays, right?  Basically it could become a preseason
bowl season...

GBR,
