Sounds like Wisconsin game isn't going to be much of a "home" game

According to reports, ticket distribution is 30,000 to ND, 30,000 to Wisconsin with 17,000 being kept by the Packers for their own suite/club ticket owners.

I'm not one to bash Swarbrick off-the-cuff but sounds like he got taken to the cleaners on this one. Given the way ND likes to take care of their own special "constituencies", it looks like Swarbrick doesn't give a shit about the regular fans. It will be interesting to see what the ticket distribution will be for the Soldier field game in 2021. I'm betting the split will favor Wisconsin for their "home" game.

  - No it isn't...it is ND home game - D2 - 5:25pm 2/16/20
    - Yes, this is correct. Counter-intuitive but absolutely right... [NT] - TakethetrainKnute - 1:28pm 2/17/20
      - Wow. Lots of ND history at Lambeau, but OLD history. This is a mistake. [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 5:20pm 2/17/20

  - You're just off on this one - D2 - 1:16pm 2/16/20
    - Because that’s what ND has to do as far as tickets to get the opponents to play the game. [NT] - whatsamataU - 6:15pm 2/16/20
      - We clearly need more savvy folks like you in the ND athletic department - D2 - 10:00pm 2/16/20
        And to have it in Wis we split the tickets. [NT] - whatsamataU - 6:21pm 2/17/20
- Who has TV rights for each game. Doesn’t matter who the “home” team is. TV is where the $ is. - jalex1227 - 11:35pm 2/15/20

  - Maybe it will. But, then don't call them home games. They are neutral site games [NT] - Irish_Demon - 4:06pm 2/15/20
    - Somebody has to be the home team. [NT] - ucandoit - 8:26pm 2/15/20

- The real bucks derive from the TV exposure... playing in Lambeau is priceless publicity [NT] - Curly1918 - 8:29am 2/15/20
  - he’s not talking about revenue, he’s talking about a home game - jimbasil - 10:55am 2/15/20
    - It’s a home game from a TV rights perspective. The game at Lambeau will be on NBC. - Shadow_of_the_Dome - 4:16pm 2/15/20
      - My point was that I'm not sure the AD is focused on anything more than the big revenue picture. - Curly1918 - 7:52am 2/17/20
      - I got his point - and yet ND needing revenue wasn’t his point [NT] - jimbasil - 4:54pm 2/15/20
