If you don't want another

[storange]

Attendance thread stop here, but I have heard virtually 0 hype in the media regarding this weeks homecoming game. From scanning ticketmaster it seems End Zone seats both 200 and 300 are moving steadily .
I am in Binghamton, just wondering is there anything going on locally hype wise that I am missing

 

[oldpinepoint]

No

 

[Trueblue25]

Of course not. Why would there be? It’s not like its the only premier sporting event going on in a city of over 140,000 people this weekend.


There it is, already angering myself

I've seen a bunch on social media and some billboards on 690. Social media is most likely targeted to me since i follow a bunch of Cuse sports accounts, but wouldn't see them if I had Ad-Blockers activated on every website. I only allow ads on sites that I use a lot.

I haven't seen SU actively market games since Gross left. I know some don't like him but the guy at least tried. Not sure what SportsCenter is doing up in his office besides making sure no contraband gets in but Spring game and FanFest are a joke compared to what they used to be. Midnight Madness has been reduced to a pick up game. I'm not sure the Dome reno will ever start and entry procedures are a serious PITA. There is no local advertising/marketing. Seems like Wildhack is just going through the motions. Oh sorry I forgot, you can now buy $7 beers in the quad before the game. Thanks.

i dont know about entry issues? i think it moves so much faster with the new rules ,but then i actually get there way before kickoff.

Well, it *is* Homecoming, er, Orange Central this weekend.
So the city is pretty much full-up with visitors, who either will or will not attend the game.

And none of those people has leaves to rake, so...

All over YouTube and social media. Spending money where young fans will see it.

Don’t think radio or TV is moving ppl for the money spent

Wildhack has his hands full correcting all of Gross's mistakes and omissions.

Read that there is an Alumni section set up for game, anyone know where it is ?

Dunno about that but there's a homecoming tailgate set up on the Quad, which is nice.

Sure, whatever.

 

[upperdeck]

what market are the shooting to get to the dome.. young fans is great but probably also the ones least likely to go since they have no SU history.. its the 40-60 you need to get to come back.

are kids these days into any of the social media that marketing can hit?

Not here to defend/attack Wildhack, but this may be the most negative, whiny post, i have ever read on this site. That's saying a lot. A L O T.

ugh they do fu&*ing awesome social media stuff. That reaches way more people for cheaper than a damn billboard.

It became a pick up game because locals complained about the rap acts and you had a certain subset of locals that brought violence to the Hill one year.

Im on social media as well. Our instagram page (the most effective platform for advertising with facebook) has less than 30,000 followers.

To put it into perspective, Clemson has 330,000+ followers. If thats an unfair comparison, pitt has over 30,000 and so does rutgers. We have a winning product. Time to advertise our program, the team and our fanbase (social media following).

Its one thing to advertise, its another thing to have a sufficient base of followers you’re advertising to.

There’s more we could be doing.

<1,000 viewed/liked/acknowledged our pages last post about the upcoming unc game and gametime. Thats fewer than 10% engagement by your follower base. I believe there may be more effective steps the department could take to advertize more efficiently.

Entry is easier now even with the new rules.

Is this directed at your original post bashing Wildhack?

Gross was the master marketer. No one is coming to see this team with the 1 win coach I hired, so I know, I'll retire #44 at halftime of a game and market the sh out of it.

Yeah, I miss those days.

I can't believe an FBS College Football team in the ACC needs more marketing for people to show up.

I'm guessing you don't read much on here anymore. I complained about a lack of marketing and the downsizing of all of the fan related activities with the exception of the money grab in the quad pre-game. Mr. Gopher even had a BBQ for the season ticket holders. Most of the posts about Dungey are far worse let alone Ward. Cmon man. Perspective. And instead of just calling it whiny why not dispute with facts. Change my mind.

This is just a sample of what I see on twitter.

There were billboards everywhere, NYS college team marketing plan(success can be argued but he tried), ads on the radio, etc. I wasn't even referring to the jersey retirements. Gross actively tried to get the Dome full. Wildhack is not. Gross had some issues but brought our program out of the dark ages.

Edit: Believe what you want or not. Have you seen Pitt's stadium? BC? We are a northeast football team who does not harbor child molesters. Attendance is an issue for everyone. Ignoring it and saying well it shouldn't be that way isn't going to help.

Maybe i'm old but I don't see how that Twitter ad or a facebook post really gets the needle moving for casual fans. Especially those over 30. Ooohhhh SU said we don't need to pick apples this weekend. Let's go to the game instead!!!! Really?
