The university might get a little extra money up front for a few of the 'innovations' Dr Gross has introduced since he has been in charge.  Don't see how Thamaestro brings in any direct money (though it might cost some money).  As far as I can tell, the seat upgrade promo, the lame GO/SU chant, the bizarre decision to allow Mr Excitement to pretend to be a PA announcer, etc. don't bring in anything.

But these ill advised choices do actively discourage people from attending games, buying season tickets, buying parking passes, buying concessions, buying souvenirs, etc.

I understand some things (like most of the strange tip off times for games this season) are beyond the control of the AD office.  But almost all the changes have been negative ones that the people I know dislike and wish would change.  My take is that any small revenue taken by doing things like the endless blaring of commercials during timeouts are more than  offset by the number of fans who don't go or go less than they used to because of all the crap they have to put up with.

I agree completely about the jerk that assaulted the women doing the promo on the Dome Cam.  No excuse for that.  Period.  I hope he got arrested.
