The University of Michigan netted more than $2.6 million from its 16-day rental of Michigan Stadium to New York-based Relevent Sports for the Guinness International Champions Cup soccer match between Manchester United and Real Madrid.

The two sides entered into the contract on July 20, with a base price of $2 million. The Ann Arbor News obtained the contract through a Freedom of Information Act request.

Relevent Sports also paid U-M $550,000 to access the stadium for a two-hour practice session for each team the day before the match. The practices were held the day before the game, and spectators were charged $35 for entrance into the practices.

Relevent also paid Michigan at least $63,000 for "additional expenses" including box office personnel, security, stadium staff, portable toilets, golf cart rentals, medical staff and additional support.

The contract dictated that Relevent also determined all ticket prices, with the exception of 58 suites, which were available to suiteholders at a reduced price of $7,500 per suite.

The contract specified that Relevent would also receive 100 percent of profits from university-controlled parking, but Relevent had to provide 800 free parking spaces to U-M's athletic department and game-day personnel. The company also kept all revenue, including ticket sales, concessions and media rights fees.

Manchester United beat Real Madrid 3-1 in front of a crowd of 109,318 people. It was the most-attended soccer match in U.S. history.

It was the second multi-million-dollar professional sporting contract that U-M signed this year for the Big House.

Earlier in 2014, Michigan Stadium played host to the NHL's Winter Classic matchup between the Detroit Red Wings and the Toronto Maple Leafs. The NHL paid U-M $3 million for the use of the stadium.

Relevent Sports is owned by U-M alumnus Stephen Ross. Ross has donated more than $300 million to the university, and U-M's business school is named in his honor.
