One thought that crossed my mind is I hope they don't think creating new opportunities for the elite(either $$ or TM points) is going to solve this problem.
If he said increasing the dip n dots spoon size... that's a dead give away.

Probably look at concession revenue totals on the half shows vs the full?? And divide by the total attendance to get per person spend?
It would make sense, because if you don't have to stand in line for 20 minutes to get something, you'll probably go back multiple times. Beer especially.
If the line is 2-3 mins, beer will be purchased 4-5 times or more.
If the line is 15-20 mins, no one wants to miss half of the concert to stand in line for beer, so they won't make 4-5 trips.

Going out on a limb here, but they probably just checked their cash registers at the end of the night, and then divided the profit by the quantity of people who attended the event.
Just asked by 5 year old, and he did confirm this is how to calculate an average, so I know I'm right

I agree with you, but somehow it looks like they have ONLY done the big things right as they have like a $60M surplus or something right now.
somehow, its worked out for them. But the time has come to fix all the small #$%^

Nutty part about it is they don't have the surplus without their anchor tenant and best customer in NDSU......I sure hope they get serious.

They probably still have a surplus, but definitely not to the same level.
But if they didn't have NDSU, they would have 9 extra Saturdays per year to book major concerts and events to offset it
Either way if the experience sucks for Bison fans, it sucks for Garth Brooks fans
