Because to build a fan base you must attract the proletariat. Let them eat cake!

None of the above just trying something different since what we are doing is not as effective as we would like. But we could always keep the status quo but usually when you do the same thing you get the same result.

It's the best enticement we have right now to attract casual fans. Of course a high-quality on-field product would prove much more effective at building and sustaining demand for tickets but we're not there yet.

I went to a game at Marshall a couple of years ago. I wore an SMU sweatshirt. As I was walking past their tailgate area, a couple of guys said "Hey SMU come on over for a beer and some food." We're talking Marshall/Huntington WV, a town so poor that the cabbies are busy on nights when people get their welfare checks. And they were generous and friendly to a fault.

Marshall has a great reputation for welcoming opposing fans. We saw this when we last played up there. Really nice people.
Long live Inez Perez!
