paying opposing teams Gate fee's

Still not sure what you mean? Like they pay $500 to the county, or to the opposing school? The only way we @ Trenton pay anyone from the opposing team is if it is the playoffs or we have it in the contract to pay them from our home gate. We have paid people $1500 and fed them before but typically we keep the entire gate.

Yeah, we couldn't scehdule a lot of teams lately bc of that reason so we have to play basically all playoff teams for out of conference games, I was meaning if say Trenton got a team like Madison or suwanee or Gainesville or even Columbia to travel there would they probley pay more money then say a below .500 team?

Everyone trys to sign 2 year contracts Columbiafan which normally is a home and away contract. So you end up with 5 home games and 5 away. Some programs don't make any money hosting games so if they can travel and get a check it makes sense. Some programs make 5k or better for a home game so if you can pay someone $1500 and host you still make money. SO why would you travel if you can afford to play at home. We have paid several teams in the past few years for a few different reasons.

Teams often try to sign home and away games because they want to get the gate.

Some schools make enough money from home games that they are willing to pay people to come to their schools.

Some schools make very little money from homes games and are willing to travel if they receive a certain amount (usually has to cover the cost of travel and more than the gate they would have made from home). 

 

For Example:

Team A: Possible gate revenue per game of $2,000, Costs of $1,000 per game (referees, security, lights, rental/upkeep of field, gate keepers), a Profit of $1,000

Team B (home): Possible gate revenue per game of $10,000, Costs of $1,000 per game, Profit of $9,000

Team B (road): Possible gate revenue ($0), Possible Costs of $1000, Profit of $-1000

 

If Team A + B have a contract to play 2 games, as long as Team B pays Team A a $1000 more than than the travel costs, then Team A actually comes out ahead financially and Team B comes out ahead as well because instead of losing $1,000 to travel to Team A, they would game $9,000 minus travel and the $1,000.

 

As for who pays the most, Lakeland used to pay for many South Florida teams to come up several years ago if I remember correctly.

The following are a list of out of area games that Lakeland played two home games with back to back seasons. My assumption is that these schools are paid to go to Lakeland for the games, otherwise why give up the gate?

Exactly... event though two year home swaps are popular, there is never techically "suppose" to be .  The contract is what dictates the terms of the venue.  No one is forcing anyone to sign anything.

 

See Flanagan even played at Lakeland four years in a row - and not once at Flanagan:
