[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about the Bocce pitch?[/quote]

Compare how much money bocce brings in vs football and report back.[/quote]
Vs cost to put on?[/quote]

I'm really curious how much money you think it costs to "put on" a football match? Aside from a few security personnel,  what money do you think is being spent?[/quote]
Too easy!

We'll call the cost of footballs and bocce balls a wash, and ignore field/court maintenance since both share with other sports.

Teacher stipends for coaching Bocce and Football:

Bocce (Coed) (Corollary) High $2,013

Football Ticket Manager-1 ea high school $1,173
Football—Three or Four assistants $18,060 or $24,080
Football—Head coach $6,983

Bocce uniforms: $100 per player
Football uniforms/helmets/pads: $800-$2000 per player

Just one piece: MCPS bought 625 helmets in 2019, at $170-400 each (so let's say $250 each). $165,000 on helmets that bid. Or at about 70 players per team, $18,750 per school every 10 years (a helmet's lifespan).

Practice equipment (such as blocking dummies) don't exist in bocce.

Then there are the game referees - five for football and one for bocce. And travel costs.
