Kids don’t do Sports these days. Maybe our new Afghanie friends will help fill the gap

Watched a show about Michigan and their efforts, decades ago, to get people to games. AD started selling extra seats for $1 to high school students in the area, and did the band day thing to fill in shit seats. Stadium was full, adding to the experience, creating demand, and building a fan base in the process. Get butts in the seats. Hopefully young impressionable butts.

THE ABOVE is a great idea... going forward the athletic dept should develop a policy of giving away a % of the stadium tickets as free tickets to the basketball & football games to high school kids in the region that are on their HS teams basketball or football team... and sprinkle them around the stadium, not just the worst seats in the house. And give the lower section of the old student section back to the UW kids...huskyhooligan said:They should be handing out tickets. Why top row seats are priced the way they are is ridiculous.

Unfortunately the product is so bad I doubt a substantial number of people will go even if it’s free. Cost isn’t really a barrier. Night/late games, parking, shit opponents, crappy sight lines and standing all game even for shit games when nothing is happening on the field. Lots of things free won’t fix. Maybe bus in some homeless. That might work.DawgsCanDance said:

Good move by Michigan, but you need to be careful with giveaway shit. Dave Brandon's gas station bogo was one hell of a brand-damager.huskyhooligan said:They should be handing out tickets.
