GSU Kitty Kats vs UL Ragin Cajuns- Its Time!!

[CrazyCajun]

Can't go to a bunch of games until you go to your first one now can you? Why not make sure its an exciting game against an instant rivalry...if you gonna put your eggs in a basket, this is the one you put them in.

Bump... Haha

Ok Debbie, you apparently run with _____s who only do the coo things... During the win steak when we had 8k for a game against at Denver, they ran promotion after promotion with fear the beard, kids night, invited high schools got in free with jerseys. There are things they can do to promote the game without spending half a million. Give 1420 and 103.7 a couple hundred tickets for the personalities to give away which keeps them talking about it all day

So just to recap:

- The game ball was presented by a kid who won a radio contest

- There were kids in uniform at the game

- They gave away yard signs to season ticket holders.

- They announced a free basketball promotion for the next game

Seems like they are already doing all the things you wanted them to do.

It seems they read my suggestions this afternoon and realized how f'n lazy they were being. I listen to sports radio all day long, the radio guys promoted it themselves with no help from the U... I didn't get a yard sign...they didn't run the free basketball promotion for next game at the last game.

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'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.

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.
