Five things to watch: Montana State Bobcats host Yale in second round of FCS playoffs

The Bozeman Chamber of Commerce expects up to a $10 million economic boost from local businesses during Montana State’s FCS playoff run, driven by visiting fans and travel spending.

  • The Bozeman Area Chamber of Commerce projects up to a $10 million boost to local businesses from Montana State Bobcats reaching the second round of the FCS playoffs.
  • Saturday, Montana State advanced to the FCS quarterfinals with a 21-13 victory over Yale Bulldogs, using interceptions in each half that sparked touchdown drives and kept Yale scoreless until late.
  • Spending during playoff weekends funnels into the local economy in Bozeman with an estimated 3.5 to 4 million dollars before ticket sales, mostly in restaurants, gas stations, retail stores and hotels.
  • Daryl Schliem said, `You're probably looking it could be anywhere from a twelve to thirteen-million-dollar impact,` as local businesses report rising revenue and hope Yale coming to town boosts November into December.
  • Next week, the 11-2 Montana State Bobcats host Stephen F. Austin at Bobcat Stadium, and the Bozeman Area Chamber of Commerce said payoffs grow as opponents travel farther with more fans.
