Posted September 19, 20159 yr comment_153818 As a result of the large crowd at IGF on Thursday night, the AC/DC concert, what can the Bombers expect as far as revenue from that event? As much as a Home game? Do the Bombers receive revenue from rental of the facility, concessions, partnerships, and parking? Seemed there was a lot of liquor sales, maybe more than a Bomber game.

I've been told that the Bombers essentially rent out the facility for a set fee to True North for concerts and also get a percentage of the concessions. The average profit for each concert for the Blue Bombers is half a million dollars. That's pure profit.

Well, they need those other streams of cash because the Bombers are not going to be capable of it if they don't start fielding a real CFL team.
