    the home of the Washington Redskins. They bought out the home game for IU for 3 million dollars...not a bad pay day. I guess they must be counting on Penn State fans to fill the stadium because I can't see many IU fans going that far to watch their football team.
    Can't see this as being a big TV winner for them so I'm not sure of the motivation. I think I have read that FedEx Field is looking to do neutral site college games like Jerry Jones is doing in Dallas. I guess these stadiums have to look at all posssible revenue streams to make the bottom line black.

    PSU vs IU

    College Football is so big that it isn't only NFL fields trying to get into the action, race tracks are as well. Bristol has been wanting to host a Tennessee game for years.
