Can't speak for the Rock rell but I do know that at the OB, that was city owned, there was a recurring lease with options. The U got a percentage of the concessions after expenses. Ticket revenue was shared at a different % than concessions and parking. Parking was really a non-factor because there was so much off site around the stadium but what was on site, the U got a small percentage of it. I don't remember ever hearing what the percentages were. After the Phins came to town, things didn't change much as far as costs are concerned for the U other than facility upgrades due to NFL standards. Robbie constantly fought with the city over cost sharing and maintenance.Question for those in the know; how much is our lease w HRS and do we make money off the parking, concession stands, tickets....or does that go to Ross?
My father left in '79 well before the downfall of the OB. What I do know is that the OB was really aging and, after Robbie told the city to go f--k themselves and went and built his own stadium, the city decided to cut it's expenses with the OB, and struck the deal with the Marlins.
Being privately owned, I wouldn't venture a guess as to what the agreement is between the U and the Rock.
