It's has to be easier to make game day an event in a one horse town like Slimey Pebble. What else could there be to do? It also helps that their Yinzerburgh area alumni can just zip up 79.
The Kartrashians have proven that you can make a pile of **** seem important. If you want the students to show up...get it on the one thing genetically attached to them that they look at more than anything else in life...their phones. It's marketing. You want alumni in Yinzerburgh to make the slog out 22 for games....get a buzz going in the area. Put up billboards touting only one losing season in 37 years. The Godfather proved that creating a media buzz could make people put their attention in the Mon Valley. Nobody wants to go to the Mon Valley but he created enough of a buzz in Yinzerburgh to lure people down to hell.
Why can't IUP do any of that? They can...they just don't bother.
I remember at the height of the IUP Band's run Casavant...they had more than one billboard touting The Legend along the PA Turnpike.
You mean we couldn't put up one lousy billboard near Heinz It's Nowhere Near As Nice As The Linc In Philly Field promoting IUP Foosball and it's decades of success....because there has to be a percentage of IUP alumni attending Stiller games. You plant that bug to get them to maybe make a trip or two up to Indiana.
To get Indiana locals to go...maybe if you have a promotion where if you present a ticket stub from a game...you get discounted seats to whatever Third Rate Yahoo Country Act is playing at the KCAC in the fall.
I've been to away games at West Chester, Cheyney, Millersville, East Stroudsburg, Bloomsburg and Shippensburg...and I can honestly say none of those places have an electric atmosphere on game day. So whatever is going on at Slimey....it has to be they are either programming their Dr. Evil control chips to make them all excited or all of the concessions are spike with Ecstasy.
IUP is getting 2500 through the door without even trying. Imagine if they had a budget to try.....I'm sure they would gladly take all of your donations for a marketing program.
