Message: [QUOTE="llandz, post: 750459, member: 1679"] Interesting. I went from getting the McDonalds packages for the Nets, and ended up a season ticket holder. Three families split 5 seats for the year. So those packages DID work. All points here are valid. 1. Scheduling. We can't do anything about that this year. Maybe not even next year. So that is for the future. But we still have most of this season left. So let's discount that for right now, but keep it mind going forward. 2. Winning. OK, The old chicken and the egg theory can be explored here. We aren't winning so the fans aren't going to come, so some say. Maybe the players would be more motivated to win if the fans came and filled up the seats. I am sure it is hard to come from behind in an empty home stadium. The two work hand in hand. New coach. Let's give these players a chance, and support them. Yes if we are undefeated numbers will go quickly up. Cause everyone wants to be on the bandwagon. 3. Cost. If the seats are empty would it hurt to use freebies or promos to fill them up? As I stated above this turned me into a season ticket holder in NJ. If it does not work that way at least you have fans there cheering on the players. Also your stands do not look empty to possible big recruits. If this helps with the winning then #2 kicks in. And if the poster who worked for the NJ Nets is correct, then it will just be tough luck for those who got freebies in the past. But maybe instead they will go to the sports bars in town, or host game viewing parties, and all of this will build the Syracuse football hype. So in conclusion, #3 is the first priority for THIS season. And #1 to look at going forward with our future scheduling. Hopefully all of this leads us to #2. We are 1-2 this season. We can't change that. So we have to look at what our option are for right now. [/QUOTE]
