McCracken?
No, we keep him in a box in the basement. :D

He has friends in high places and I don't!

With a good weather forecast, I figured we would hit 20,000.

We need to lower ticket prices, and change our marketing strategy to increase attendance . I will be glad when we play an opponent that travels well.

Buffalo had more fans than I thought they would

It’s been repeated three different times. You’re being intentionally obtuse because you know PH caught you in your hyperbole and you can’t dig your way out.

BC, what is the current ticket price?

And what is the current marketing strategy?

The PRICE of something is a unit to describe that thing’s perceived value. When we lower the price of something, we are saying it is worth less than previously thought. What do you think an LU Football ticket is worth?

As for marketing strategy, how do you know what strategy to employ if you don’t know the current strategy being employed? But maybe knowing the current one isn’t necessary. What would you do to better market LU Football tickets?

I realize there are attendance numbers we have to hit for the NCAA, but I believe LU needs to keep doing what it is doing with season tickets and ticket prices in general. I hate to see the empty seats; however, this is just another growing pain in the transition from FCS to FBS.

FBS football is expensive and the athletic program needs to be as self-sufficient as possible. If we start putting up 9 and 10 win seasons with bowl appearances, the town-folk will start to show up. I do think the politics have a fair amount of impact but that is whole different conversation.

By the way, I could not make the game but I gave my tickets to a friend and his family. They were very impressed with the whole experience, particularly how nice all of the employees were.
