Ending neutral site games

1. I agree - they're kinda lame.
"Boo hoo! We don't get any revenue for going on the road to play at their home stadium."
"You know, next year, they'll go to your town and play at your stadium and you get all the revenue."
"Let's do that part."
"But you won't play on the road?"
"Nope - neutral site and we each get half."
"Lame."
"YEE HAW!"

2. ND vs OSU would put up 10 million viewers if they played on the moon. Location didn't help.
3. Alabama vs. Texas was helped by the fact that Texas looked like they might win. People would have watched if it was played in a submarine.
4.
Why watch this lesser product?

You, sir, have just made an enemy.

but the intensity still didn’t match what it was at “The Swap” when Utah threw that late interception to give Florida the victory in Week 1.

Everyone is afraid to play in the Swap. That place is weird. You never know for sure what you're going to get.

While I agree that neutral site games are lame, this guy is a nerd and I won't be subscribing to his newsletter.

I know they call them that in broward county Florida

currently live in California. There’s a flea market at the local community center next Saturday. At least that’s what all the signs call it

I have heard of a few places in Los Angeles referred to as the “Swap Meet” and I’ve also heard it in other places out there. Mostly in bigger cities. Obviously California is a huge and diverse state, so it doesn’t surprise me that there’s different lingo used throughout it.

As for Florida, I’ve heard flea market used in the northeastern part, around Daytona and Jacksonville. I’ve never seen the term used for that type of market east of the Mississippi.

I’ve heard the big one NW of Cincy referred to as the ‘Dirt Mall.’ Driven by it a few times when we lived in Mason. Never had so much as a passing interest in stopping.

You’re missing out on the hot mess of people watching. A whole lot of junk, and a whole lot of interesting sites :yow1:
I went one weekend since I’d always been curious when I’d visit my friends at UD. I ended up winning one raffle of a BBQ set with fishes on the end of all the utensils, and another raffle for $5 to a restaurant that closed 10yrs ago. Good times
And @Mike80 is right,it’s right next to Butter Jesus(Traders World)

Dunno man. I could go to Jungle Jims and still get the people watching in.
