Incentives for Game Attendance

[JoeB]

This is from Texas A&M.  Its really a great idea to get more fans out to all games at a university, not just football or basketball.  I think this would be ideal for USF to try this.

Wow that is a great idea!  Increases attendance to all sporting events, builds support for all programs, increases sponcership possiblities, and costs next to nothing........

Part of the 12th Man Team’s appeal is that it is staffed by students who provide information on the program at all A&M athletic events and make fans feel at home.

Marketing department take notes.

cool idea, but could be pretty costly to be giving out authentic baseball jersey's to everyone that goes to 36 athletics events.

for the amount of fans and money the school would get and bring in, it would be worth it

I LOVE this idea and I really hope that someone sees this and tries to put it into effect at USF. It would help with all sports and not just 1.

Who is in charge of sports marketing now??

We are in the process of including attendance to help build priority points.  But that is through the Bulls Club and is for season ticket attendance only.  Right now it would be difficult to put a program like that together for many of our sports because they don't have electronic scanners that we use at football, men's basketball, women's basketball and volleyball.  The cost would be substantial for setting a program like this up.

Bill McGillis now oversees our exteranal affairs (marketing, sales, sports information).  He's been on the job for about 3 weeks.

I like the idea concerning the priority points. I think those who PAY and ATTEND should be rewarded.

I dunno,  it seems to me like you'd get more "already" FB and BB fans to baseball and soccer (etc) games than creating new fans of any sport. would a free t-shirt drag somebody off the streets (who previously wasn't a BULLS fan) to go to games???    I still think winning is the only way to truly convert anyone.
