Ticket Sales/Attendance
Wick250:
I agree with much of what has been said on this thread. University marketing and promotion has been inept for about 25 years since Bruce Burge departed. Personally, I would outsource marketing, promotion, and ticket sales to a private, PROFESSIONAL company. I would negotiate a reasonable yearly fee and allow them to keep a percentage of the gate. That would provide INCENTIVE. Now, these guys get their pay checks whether we draw or not. Look at the example of the Covelli Center. After years of failure by allowing outsiders with little expertise or concern for the valley to operate the facility, the city hired Eric Ryan. He has turned the Covelli Center into a success as he understands exactly what acts to bring here and how to promote them.

Wait, YSU has an advertising department??
YSUGO:
We need to have more night games, with youth soccer, football and everything else being played you are not getting those kids and families. The game has to become an event to get the casual fan...the night games help that. Our marketing department is deadweight. Winning would help and this area is notorious for only rooting for winners due to being in between 2 markets.
paladin:
The "attendance" was announced at just over 16K. Care to guess how many actual butts in seats were here ?
Promos are bad. Ticket sales often padded with businesses buying some to inflate the numbers, but actual fans in seats ? 8)
