^ Yeah, good point. Having the extra event dates at IGF is a big deal for the Bombers. I suspect that Bison football brings next to nothing in... the crowds are small and there probably isn't much in the way of F&B sales. Given that the university is a part owner of the stadium I'm assuming the Bisons don't pay rent.

On the other hand, having around 5,000 soccer fans a game on average for, what, around 20 matches a year will have a pretty big impact. They'll be paying higher ticket prices and probably consuming a fair bit from the concessions. So it will make a solid impact on the stadium's bottom line.
