Too bad. Think of the sponsorship/revenue potential. Pornhub.com, Adam&eve.com, Castle Megastore. WSU is simply missing out on huge dollars waiting to be had. Truly a lack of vision. People will drive 180 miles from Spokane/Pullman for that kind of action. WSU could be the pimp daddy of universities if they would just seize on this hookup/revenue opportunity.
Loser mentality.
We already are capitalizing on that. Got it in the works.
We will be spelling out Go Cougs and things in between the chomp to get the crowd fired up.
Great idea if the money is big enough. Sell out the whole time-honored college student tradition and experience to even out the budget with the huskies. Do what you have to do.
Two things. First, how do you know of all these apparently naughty websites?
Second, you all should know that I have been making a list of all the posters who have posted (and how many times) since I renamed this thread the "Idiots only thread". Just sayin'......
Ok three things. The thread renaming function (I was unaware of this until someone pointed it out recently) is pretty cool. When we have these topics that quickly veer into something completely different than the title, just change the title to reflect it. Almost magical.

Quit whining about threads and posts who cares.
My argument for moving the Apple Cup to the first week of October and the potential for a split rivalry stadium at a neutral field is completely valid.
It helps us a lot and it evens things out with UW.
The reality is that people were brainwashed into never thinking about how we can leverage the game into an advantage. Finally someone said how to do it and it blew fuses in people’s brains.
If you have an in state rival that makes more money on the rivalry game you move into a position so you make the game even. That is a neutral location with 50/50 revenue splits annually.
If you are having trouble with the game clashing with winter break and playing at the end of the year with a less deep roster than your spoiled rival you move it to the middle of the year with no schedule conflicts when your guys are healthy.
We would make more money, not interfere with winter break, have a fresher team, and close the revenue gap. And I truly believe. Win a lot of Apple Cups.
A WSU roster in good health always playing UW on a neutral site will win half the time if not more.
If you look at the series history the return to Pullman opened the door for the rift to begin and UW knew it. WSU would make little on the game and UW would get the lions share of the rivalry revenue...which they would reinvest in the program distancing itself from us and widening the gap.
The whole reason why we are able to build the Martin renovations and football ops and get Leach was why? Equal revenue distribution.
And we should always be positioning ourselves for equal revenue distribution at all times. Especially with UW, especially involving the Apple Cup.
I am intrigued by your fascination with what UW makes off one game. If WSU got all of the revenue from the apple cup regardless if it is played in Seattle or Pullman and us didn’t get a cut, it would make no difference in their budget . They would still have an ample an signiificantly larger budget than ours

Second point first - it was Pee Wee Herman who said, "I know you are but what am I?"
First point second - you do not want to know what's out there at the end of the interwebs. It is a dangerous spot best left for the professionals and those not employed by the government or companies monitoring internet usage.
Don't UW & WSU split the revenue from the Apple Cup anyway?

This article, from 2009, when the topic of moving the Apple Cup to then Qwest Field states they do.

Not really, because in the article it says "$240,000 apiece when the game is played in Pullman and $800,000 when it is played in Seattle." Now when it is in Seattle UW gets a lot more of the ancillary money.
That's really where the meat of a game revenue is generated. The ticket sales are just the tip of the iceberg.
I want the game split down the entire middle on a neutral field. NOT in Seattle, but in an area that is accessible to everyone.
This "Let's do a split event in Seattle" is ridiculous when one school has to drive 30 minutes and the other has to drive from the other side of the state. Hence my support for Ellensburg. Now everybody has to drive and here is a fantastic unique gameday experience once a year.
The gap closes. As noted in an article above the Apple Cup in Seattle generates about 4 times as much in revenue in just tickets. (which is split) but the concessions and all the ancillary revenue goes to UW. And you can probably image that is also about 4 times the money which UW gets over us.
Anytime we can eliminate that sort of disparity we should. One game at a time. We get even on Apple Cup through all revenue and we are 1/12 of the way on to making revenue parity. You attack the revenue gap the same way as you do the games of the season. How much do we make in our opener? How much does UW make in their opener? How can we close that gap etc. etc.
Building WSU up on all fronts and capturing market share is what it is all about, and we can do more and should demand it.
This makes no sense Tron. Then what we need to do is just have regional stadiums. Not one in Ellensburg but Yakima where OSU and UO can also go, just within a few hours of each school. OSU should be splitting their game, as well. What, 2 maybe 3 stadiums shared in CA? One out in the middle of nowhere in AZ. Find a place between UT and CO? Then with no home field advantage for anyone, we all split everything evenly. No one has a leg up, no one has a leg down. Socialism for football. No thanks. Football was built on home field advantage. That's what brings fans in. That's what makes WSU my second home...
Funny this makes me think about the stadium in downtown Spokane. No one has home field advantage and they are doing it for financial reasons... I'm surprised more of you aren't in support of this! You're in support of the stadium in Spokane but not this?! What's the difference other than it's college ball vs high school?
Social Capitalism got us our stadium upgrades and MIke Leach so yes I am for it because it helps us gain an even footing. The Apple Cup should be as fair and even a venue as possible for the biggest in state game. The rest it is how you manage it.
Our home field advantage isn't a home field advantage given the current disparity in revenue which UW exploits. I am pushing to take that away.
You mean the coach who believes in equal ball distribution to attack on all fronts. I think he would totally be for it because it attacks the in state rivalry making it an even playing field all around, brings south teams to cold weather in November for an advantage.
It also means that, if we keep this ball rolling, that we'll never get ahead of UW, either.
No it doesn’t it takes them out of their Muttlake Palace and pushes our front line all the way to Ellensburg. Which means everything East we can own, factor in our alumni in the west side and their sphere of influence shrinks.
We never have to set foot in Montlake or Seattle again and can strangle siege them for recruits and revenue.
I’m pretty sure this changed with revenue sharing with the new TV deal and conference expansion. There were concessions made to the schools schools that been getting a bigger chunk of TV revenue such as letting SC and UCLA play cal and Stanford every year and uw to not have to share AC money.
