YSU Penguin Athletics / Ticket Sales/Attendance

« on: September 21, 2014, 09:15:01 AM »

We all know winning sells tickets but it seems like the university does little to nothing to try to help fill the stands. While they do have youth prices We have no family rates to make it affordable to come to a game. There are no ticket specials ( other than an unadvertised Mountain Dew can), no concessions specials or packages where you can get tickets and concessions value. Yes they give away a ton of tickets to schools for kids day but they do nothing to advertise kids day to the public let alone any other games. There is never a public push for season tickets or single game tickets. While the team is 3-1 there is no excitement in the community because we played no body and there is very little to no advertising. Our promotions do nothing to draw excitement or help sell tickets. It's simple business you need to spend money to make money

YSU Penguin Athletics / Horizon League Championship

« on: February 17, 2012, 07:44:49 AM »

Men’s and Women’s Basketball won’t be the only teams to host Horizon league Championship competition this winter. The Indoor Track and Field Team will host their championship at the WATTS next weekend. I think it is great that YSU will be able to host an event like this on campus rather than traveling to Kent or Geneva. On Saturday it will run from about 9am to 5pm with most of the action starting between 2:30 and 3:30. Sunday It will run from 9am until 3 or 4 with all events being the finals. This is the link to get all of the info on the meet.

Also, think of the economic impact of the teams traveling in and having to stay at our hotels and eat at our restaurants for the weekend. I think The WATTS is having a much larger impact on the university and community than many thought it would
