I've hit the entire spectrum now. I've been labeled a sunshine pumper that will always look to the postives and now I'm the negative guy.

To answer your question, no I am not a negative person and my life is not miserable and I am not like that when it comes to this university. I am however a realist and a CPA that would prefer that we direct our limited funds to provide for a good return on our expenditures, like recruiting, coaches salaries, etc. things like that put a good product on the field/court and in my opinion, do more to generate revenues than marketing indo visual games.

But if no one says "Hey we've got a great team and we're playing this other great team and you should come see it", how much good does it do to spend money on great recruits. We have a grossly oversized arena. Giving away tickets that would go unsold otherwise costs the university literally nothing.

Lets do some math here. If we give away 500 tickets and assume that one fifth of the people who are given tickets show up for the game. Of the 100 people who showed up for the game lets also assume that one fifth of those people visit the concession stand at some point during the game spending an average of $12 per person (or the price of a Regular Soft drink and a bag of popcorn). Not only would this not cost any money, it would actually make you about $220.

The average on the season should be about $20,000 per home game.

Annual marketing expenditures -for each sport- should equal the head coaches salary.

I am aware of the cash flow constraints, but if they were to find a way to pull this off, UL would triple its investment.

20 G's? I have not seen a lot of promo's other than the Cajun online site and maybe some tv adverts. just seems like a lot of money to spend on one game. I'm in the wrong biz Geaux Cajuns!

tickets are "state property" so they cant be "given away" someone has to pay for them somewhere in the food chain.

Interesting the title of the thead is Kitty Kats, I had Karren make a sign that said "Here Kitty, Kitty, Kitty" with a picture of Hello Kitty.

I liked the other side of Karren's sign.

Whoever owns the tickets, packing the dome is in their best interest. I promise you the university has a certain number of promotional tickets. If the city does own them, the university doesn't pay what you and I pay for them. The city didn't have a problem with any promotion we have ran before.

I'm not dis agreeing, just saying is all
