Offseason Blvd upgrades?

Postby Special_Delivery_Smu_Fans » Thu Mar 31, 2011 10:47 am

Kind of pricey, but might be nice on the Blvd. Why is the red almost $100 more?

Wouldn't a portable table and a party ball do the same thing at a fraction of the cost?

I like everything about the BLVD. except I still think with proper marketing we could talk more FANS at the BLVD. to attend the Football Games.

RE-ENTRY

From the UT website:

Re-entry policy
NEW FOR THE 2010 SEASON: UT Athletics offers pass-out stubs to patrons departing the stadium. Stubs are distributed at Gates 1, 6, 7, 8, 25, and 32 at the beginning of the second quarter through the end of halftime. They are redeemable for re-entry at any stadium gate. You must have a pass-out stub and a game ticket to re-enter the stadium.

From A&M website:

Re-Entry
Re-entry to Kyle Field is allowed but only with a pass-out check, available at the stadium gates. Pass-outs will be distributed until the start of the third quarter. Pass outs will be accepted throughout the game.

This is an old argument with all do respect. There is almost know one or insignificant numbers to help with attendance on the blvd at game time Try calling all of the guys you graduated with. :))

I disagree. Having people walking the blvd selling single game tickets would make a difference. It makes things super easy for the consumer on the blvd. If they had those handhelds like they have in the apple store it would be super easy for everyone. At the very least they could set up a couple of booths on the blvd selling tickets (which I think they did a little of last year).

Yes - they had a ticket booth by the flagpole.

You implemented an additional twist to the original post. Convenience is always good.

I'm saying that in my 3 years there is almost no one on the blvd at half time 20 - 30 save last years TCU game . It is not the answer to SMU attendance issues.

Actually, you implemented an additional twist to the original post. He did not say he wanted fans who were on the blvd at halftime to go to the games, he said he wanted fans who were at the blvd to attend the games. There are plenty of people who are at the blvd before the game who do not go to the game. Getting more of them to go to the game after they blvd rather than going wherever else they go would help attendance.
