Redmusky Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 This may be wild idea but how about having members of the big 10 hosting the game. The hosting school must guarantee profit and can only be host once every five years. It would move it around guarantee sell outs. Ticket could be spilt 1/3 each host and the 2 combatants. We have 5 schools over 80 000 that's a lot of money. Quote Link to comment
corncraze Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Ehhhh people use this type of a game 4 a vacation as well as a game, so y go to a place where u can go during the regular season. I like the idea of 2 alternating neutral stadiums. I'd love Indianapolis and Chicago to alternate, or even better yet have it in lambeau! We gotta also put into the equation, which area would market the conference better. Quote Link to comment
BOJ Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Another issue I see is that some stadiums (i.e. PSU, UM, tOSU) are far larger than the others. Holding the game at a 109K stadium and then the next year at a 50K stadium is going to be a problem. I dig your idea, just don't see it as feasible. Quote Link to comment
Coqui Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Chances are it's going to be Lucas Oil Stadium (Indianapolis Colts) Quote Link to comment

True what if Northwestern got to host it one year... Quote Link to comment

Redmusky Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 I was basically thinking only teams with 80000 plus would want to host since the guarantee would chase off schools with smaller stadiums Quote Link to comment
Creed Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 I was basically thinking only teams with 80000 plus would want to host since the guarantee would chase off schools with smaller stadiums That would not be fair to the smaller stadium schools (NW, Purdue, IL) who once in a great while would contend for a Big 10 title.

You wouldn't want the stadium in question to be one of the competing teams though. Quote Link to comment
bleedNUred Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I think the best place would be Lambeau or the Lions newer stadium. That's just my 2 cents though. Quote Link to comment

n.e.husker Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 http://my.journalstar.com/post/Husker_Extra_Group/Husker_Extra/blog/first_big_ten_title_game_in_indy.html Leaning toward Indy. I support that. Lucas Oil stadium would be a great plave for the ccg. I might be in the minority here, but i dont want to be a spectator at Soldier Field or Lambaeu. Its too damn cold.
