PonyFans.com

this got lost in another thread with normal ponyfan.com bickering. wanted to highlight there is a good deal going for educators/students for our next home game:

Nice. Hope it gets some people there.

Gonna have to be early to get my bobblehead before the teachers!!!

the following week will be:

Homo Sapiens Day

All Homo Sapiens including Neanderthals (and comfort pets) above and below the age of 18 will be admitted free

I wish they hadn't limited this to K-8. It's not like this promotion is going to result in a sellout. Should have opened this up to any and all students. Years ago Mrs CP and I made a trip to UTC for a hoops game and were pleasantly surprised when we learned both our kids got in for $1. We need to be doing whatever we can to put more butts in seats at Ford. At least this is a start, but just didn't take it far enough in my opinion

Against NCAA rules

Students in grades 9-12 are considered ΓÇÿrecruitable athletesΓÇÖ and therefore subject to recruiting limitations including discounted or free tickets.

If that's the case, UTC was in violation for allowing students (son was in H.S. at that time) to get in for $1 while accompanied by a full pay adult. NCAA has some incredibly stupid rules. Even then, we played them in front of a crowd of maybe 4,000 in a 10,000 seat arena.

At least they included the neanderthals so that you could get in free. Ha!
