[QUOTE="forensicbuzz, post: 296205, member: 198"] I think this approach is extremely short sighted. Let's take a deeper look at the situation... GT has a relatively small alumni base within reasonable driving distance from Atlanta. So, to fill the stadium--to generate more revenue, to fund additional improvement efforts, etc.--we need to attract side-walk fans. We all know this; we've known this forever. There are many, many sidewalk fans who are major contributors to this forum. So, we have an opportunity to fill our stadium by hosting a series of athletic events on campus, attracting sports-enthused people, who most likely are not GT fans. We have an opportunity to impress potential sidewalk fans with a great venue, excellent service and a fantastic experience. If we fall down, then we're missing/blowing a tremendous opportunity to market our brand to a lot of people. There are 30,000 season tickets sold. That's 30,000 people who will be visiting our campus at least 6 times for a sporting event in BDS. Then you have all of the single game attendees. To look at this as anything other than an opportunity to reach and impress a target market we've been trying to tap into for years is extremely short-sighted. So, if TS doesn't cancel his meeting with a current student to spend some of his time on an MLS event, then he's not the right guy for this job. He should be pulling out all stops to market GT and our athletics brand to anyone stepping on campus. This is also a perfect opportunity to test certain strategies without alienating our existing fan bases. [/QUOTE]
