What the hell did you just say? Ill take a stab at answering your question.
The reason College has bigger Stadiums is that they fill up easier in college because the fans have 2 less home games to see in a season and the bigger schools tend to do well almost every year. Plus the games in College mean alot more then they do in the NFL since college ball lacks a playoff.
Yes both sports are about money but the players dont play for money in college that is the difference. The NFL probably does generate more money then college football because the NFL can sell jersey’s (few people would hash out 70$ for a jersey of a guy who would only start for their college team for 2 years).
I have never seen someone say the NFL is not a real sport. I think you have the players and the schools mixed up.
I think because the student body, the band, parents and all the fans that show up to games gotta have room for everybody. people like to say that because they dont realize that bowl games are the biggest fraud in sports because it denies us a playoff. So really greedy business company’s like capital one make money off the bowl games.
College football has more fans than NFL..think about this ….if there was 1 college team in EVERY state not 6,7,8 9 10….what would be more popular college or NFL ..very easy to answer College…lets see Lions or Michigan …USC or 49ers ,chargers, raiders……..Tennessee college over Titans … Georgia or falcons Notre Dame over Colts few pro teams would win out Pats over BC Steelers over Pennst Cowboys over Texas but if u cut college teams down you would see its WAY more popular than NFL……people that say NFL is #1 dont know what they are talking about
BECAUSE COLLEGES LIKE MICHIGAN who are amazing teams, except for the last 2 years and exspecially last year where omg they sucked are amazing and deserve massive stadiums where they beat ohio state in the 100th meeting of the team, which was amazing go U-M
This answer is easy for anyone who’s been to an NFL and college game: The stadiums aren’t really bigger, the seats are smaller.
College stadiums with huge capacities have bench seats. I believe at Ohio Stadium each person is allocated 14 to fit their behind. Measure yourself and tell me if you actually fit, lol
NFL stadiums have individual seats with arm rests. You can’t squeeze nearly as many people into individual seats as you can on a bench. That cuts into the stadium’s capacity by a LOT, but they can charge more per person and probably make more money in the end.
College football often can support larger stadiums with lower ticket prices and teams that can continually fill those stadiums. For Example USC can fill the LA Coliseum every staurday while the Raiders could not. The Raiders charged far more to see their games and often were not winning. On the other hand USC rarely looses.
The NFL wants teams to be competative so teams are also more likely to loose. They do this with the draft meaning the best players often go to the worst teams.
College is the opposite. With open recruiting the best players go to the best schools so Michigan, Ohio State, Texas, LSU, Florida, Miami, Florida State, USC and others can continue to build powerhouse dynasties.
by the way both are real games just different.
