How much money is really at stake if football is canceled?

Took gate receipts of 28 schools for fb. 1.1 million generated. Robbinsville generated 86k last season in gate, the most in wnc. That would be a huge financial blow to Robbinsville along with everyone else.
That's amazing that the smallest county in the west pulled the most gate receipts in the area. Packing Big Oaks Stadium on a weekly basis.
Robbinsville Black Knight Football..
A way of life.
Over 20 lineman at summer workouts..unreal
Would love to see the whole list. But, I'm too cheap. No surprise to me that R'Ville is #1 in WNC. They love them some football out there. Nothing else to do! Lol. Curious as to where Pisgah ranks. Our 50/50 from Tuscola game is about 20K alone. As BK said, the lack of radio broadcast does factor in greatly around here.

Plus Pisgah reported additional $25K in season tickets. Would have been interesting to see more schools give that figure.
Robbinsville numbers got a huge boost from hosting the Murphy playoff game and the regional final. Smoky’s average for regular season home games was pretty impressive (but even then, the visit from Robbinsville was their highest gate).
They also played Swain on a Monday night. I am sure this brought in several surrounding county spectators.
The Robbinsville money does not include season ticket sells either. All season ticket sells go to the quarterback club.
Wow that's surprising. About every time I've been there the place is almost empty.
They did get their rivalry game at home, and Robbinsville brought in a bunch of money.
Robbinsville had 9 games plus one scrimmage at home.Their average per game was 8,000,Pisgah average was 10000 and Tuscola 11000
Sounds like Pisgah needs to find out how Robbinsville got 9 home games and do the same.
