Last night Boise State University came into town to play the Aggies. Usually when an opposing university comes to down they bring there team and a handful of fans. Not Boise State. They bring literally thousands of fans and a national TV audience.
Now in a football sense its a not a good thing when this team comes but in an economic sense its amazing! Parking at the stadium was raised from $5 to $10 for this game. Hotel rooms were so hard to find in Cache Valley, some BSU fans had to spend the night in Tremonton. Restuarants, such as Angies, this morning were packed with people clad with Bronco orange and blue. No doubt it was a good day to be business owner in the valley.
Along with the direct effects of such a big football program coming to down, national television was given to Cache Valley. This could and probably will bring in countless more tourism dollars to the area, not to mention more students for the university and football recruits.
Big games equal big money! Hopefully next time the Ag's can pull off the win!
