And I do agree with that, but I'd be more than willing to donate $1,000+ to have our family name forever inscribed on a brick of that stadium. I think the donors will donate, but if you want casuals to show up with their kids you're going to need to get creative like a AAA baseball team.

I do agree with that, just can't get too creative as to devalue the mid level pricing which is where you may be needing a good chunk of support.

I bought the 3 game pack this year. Anyway, this seems like a good deal but the market will dictate... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You kill the fanbase this way. The better idea is to have different ideas to reach different target markets. $1 beers for the youngins and Fireworks for the familes. More stuff to do with before the game. Get an alumni address list and Go door to door (Just Kidding). But thats what I feel like doing. Blackouts kill the fan base in pro sports. What fan base is their to kill right now? It's only the die hards showing up any way. Don't give the students and local alums another reason to stay at home. It's not really viable option according to our TV contracts. We don't control the beer prices. This is part of the problem is we don't receive any ancillary revenue from Ray Jay and we have limited options to get people to come out other than our product on the field. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot of us took major offense to all of the negative press. Really enjoying the unity and determination. I don't think we'll hit quite 40k, but it's looking promising. Maybe ~35 realistically? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mother Nature hasn't been the kindest to us this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Jim Leavitt bobble head doll night, or Skip Holtz destruction night would give attendance a boost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
