You're not paying for an ocs with cheap food + beer and free parking ....

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.

switch cincy with UF... It will sell out then.

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.

Convince Vinik it's worth his while to re-schedule the game (all the players get "pneumonia"), and USF offers to allow Lightning fans to swap out their tix for free at the gate

 

Honestly, might be the only idea i've seen that would work....

I got an email about 15 dollar tickets for alumni in the next home games.  I bought the 3 game pack this year.  

Anyway, this seems like a good deal but the market will dictate...

Blackouts actually work the opposite. 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.

I've been seeing a lot more activity of fans and alums trying to spread the word. 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?

I've also head a lot of people talking up the game this weekend. Hopefully the weather forecast will change and the rain will stay away. Mother Nature hasn't been the kindest to us this season.

any idea if tickets are selling well?

A Jim Leavitt bobble head doll night, or Skip Holtz destruction night would give attendance a boost
