Not sure charging for a game that’s normally free and barely attended is the best marketing strategy.  Even if it’s in the name of NIL.

Get the men’s/women’s hoop teams there and LAX/soccer.  Set-up community vs “BB team”, tug of war etc challenges throughout the day.  Pickup BB game with athletes vs any kids that attend.  Bring in a climbing wall and let kids/adults challenge different athletes up the wall.  You could do some of these things with NIL $.  Although as kid who grew up poor, there’s nothing that would piss me off more than not being able to do activities because my parents weren’t rich so it excluded me.

Get a brewery or two there, like the NYS brewery festivals.  Set up a tent with BBQ, bands, etc.  An open picnic for fans with athletes just walking around, getting food and hanging out.

This isn’t rocket science.  They could just hire me as a consultant.  Ultimately if you want a big crowd in central NY, you need to get kids to want to be there.  Normally dad goes to the spring game himself.  You get the kid to want to go and mom usually comes too, maybe the grandparents.  Or the aunt/uncle and their kids…… or the kids best friends.
