Found this interesting from the article -- lagging football season ticket sales hitting FSU for about $8.5 million from last year .... YIKES. It doesn't matter what the ACC Network does or doesn't do, if FSU can't sell football tickets, that's gonna effect their bottom line.


FSU's projected athletic department operating revenue is projected to see a significant drop for the 2019-20 fiscal year. That's due, in large part, to a significant decrease in ticket sales for football. FSU is expected to bring in just under $15 million after bringing in almost $23.5 million last year.

Coburn and his staff are looking for different ways to bring fans back to Doak Campbell Stadium.

"The two biggest things that we have to do is improve the value of the home schedule, and we’re working on that," Coburn said. "But the other is that we have to win. We all know that, and we will."

FSU's home schedule for the 2019 season lacks a lot of big name teams, which is part of the reason for the drop in ticket sales.

FSU has sold 24,000 season tickets for the upcoming season. After selling out its allotment (45,000 season tickets in the main seating bowl) in 2014 following the program's third national title, FSU’s season ticket sales have continued to fall. Last year’s mark totaled 32,194, not including an additional 6500 premium seats sold in the Dunlap Champions Club and stadium suites.
