I recall bidding back in the 1990's. We had some home games because of the attendance and facilities. Back then there were't night games so lighting didn't matter, but I clearly remember bidding and the fact that we led the FCS in attendance so the school could bid higher than anyone else. this gave us a couple of home games that we probably wouldn't have gotten as an independent.
