POP!!!!!
(just to quote someone else)
One game a year is the perfect solution for old men…
IF it’s the ‘right’ game…

I’d want to dig a little deeper into the numbers and the logic and ‘Student Issues’…1. In general…Student populations have grown faster than stadium seats, so, on the face of things, it seems ‘expected’ for student % to drop…
2. The geographical areas from which students come and to which they go after graduation to get jobs has greatly expanded over the years. Again this seems to suggest that a drop in attendance would be ‘expected’ among younger alum…
3. The impact of massive college loans limits the financial ability of many graduates for years after graduation… Again this seems to suggest that a drop in attendance would be ‘expected’ among younger alum…
The clear point here is that none of the above has anything to do with “game day experience”. More importantly, spending money on “game day experience” won’t fix 1 thru 3 above…
We had this conversation last year after football season…
B’rer Roo and I crafted the solution…
1. Free football tickets
2. $25 admission to the parking lots… Lots open at 10am regardless of game time…
3. Live music and Beer for sale in every parking lotOpens up ‘new markets’ and new revenue sources…

GO PACK!
