Does this mean we may have to get used to competent marketing?

 

[TheCusian]

Nice! Wife likes this one. Kids and wife happy = def going. Now to get Dad's food truck a spot .

Wow, an integrated event where fans can watch the men's soccer team, the football team and the women's field hockey team all play in one event?

Wow, a chance for fans to see the inside of the IPF?

Wow, special treatment for mere season ticket holders for football to tour the football facilities in Manley and to watch practice on the sidelines?

This is the most refreshing and hope inspiring announcement from the SU AD office in at least 10 years. Very encouraging stuff.

season tix holders get the tour and a sideline pass??

homerun kids.

 

[Frozen]

Absolutely shocked that they started the advertising so far in advance. Usually they wouldn't mention it until two days prior.

Coyle's paying off already!

It is almost like someone in the SU AD offices is listening. Or at least thinking about what we fans might like. Who do we have to thank for the change in direction on things? Has the new AD already made a huge difference? Anyone know?

I was really impressed also. Great job SU AD! It's so many ideas the board has been suggesting for years. Even though I live far enough away that it doesn't matter for me, I'm glad the locals will get what appears to be an awesome event!

I believe Drew Robinson is in front of this.

 

[LeMoyneCuse]

I believe Drew Robinson is in front of this.

Yeah. This looks too well-thought out and well-planned to credit an AD who has been on the job for four days.

 

[TheCusian]

Yeah. This looks too well-thought out and well-planned to credit an AD who has been on the job for four days.

He had the smarts to rubber stamp the thing though. Bet they had a meeting and he said "make it happen".

(Season Ticket Holders) will receive an email whether they would like to claim the tix in person or have them mailed out on that Monday.

Personal Tours of these great facilities are pretty informal. Go to wherever you'd like and there will be an intern or MYSELF! (Or a colleague) will show you around

There has been a serious structure change around here and I for one am LOVING IT.

Hope to see you all there!

Absolutely. I believe it's where the season tickets can be picked up
