    Interesting that some are free and others pay. The link I posted was from one of HCMR's pressers.....his reaction to a anticipated +70k at this Saturdays game is a classic reation. Welcome to NE coach.

    ND is invitation only this year with a limit of around 2K in attendance since they can't play in the stadium due to construction. It's on one of the fields on campus instead.

    I know I'm digging deeper into the mud than this post deserves to go but those surrounded by concrete all day don't have a clue to the cash flow these events produce.

    Potato farming neighbor five miles west of our property decided to turn a section of his land into a mud park, airboat racing, atv driving get away a few years ago. The first weekend he opened it up generated $2.5 million net. People drive from as far north as Virgina to attend these events and I'm blown away with the convoys of hundreds of off road vehicles driving past our gate.

    It's not my thing at this point in my life but I can see why a young man may visit the park on occasion.
