Football fans do not pay for football, regardless.  The costs and debt for football are astronomical and paid for by tuition.

We'll see in a year, Honey Doodles, how packed that stadium is. Or even later this year.  The feasibility report, prepared by the builder in 2012 while they were still asserting that donors would pay 100%, said that attendance would increase 22% (from high numbers that CSU does not get) the first year and increase every year after that.  They predicted profits going out 30 years!!!! But still not enough to cover the nearly $8 million annual debt for football (that they admit) or the finance debt of $12 million per year.   

Fun with numbers, even if the report was highly dishonest, cherry picked schools for each category and wouldn't pass an undergraduate statistics class. And hey - it didn't include that 100% of the $225 million was borrowed.  So, football fans do not pay for football as is true for over 200 Div 1 FBS schools.  Tuition and student debt pays.
