How much would a drone show cost to produce? Maybe AD Kraft doesn't have funds available unless a donor wants to pay for a drone show.

From Google:

Budget Breakdown by Fleet Size

Mid-Size Halftime Shows (200–300 drones): $40,000 to $70,000
. This tier provides basic 2D and 3D shapes, team logos, and transitions. It is commonly used for smaller college game days or localized stadium events.

Large-Scale Productions (500 drones): $50,000 to $100,000+. This is the "sweet spot" for major college and NFL matchups. For example, the Buffalo Bills utilized a 500-drone fleet above their facility, and the Pittsburgh Steelers deployed 600 drones to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Terrible Towel.

Mega Stadium Events (1,000+ drones): $100,000 to $180,000+. Reserved for marquee matchups, national broadcasts, and rivalry weekends—such as the massive Texas vs. Ohio State game weekend, which integrated 1,000 drones into an extensive multi-show package utilizing over $1.5 million in equipment
