[QUOTE="Wrecked, post: 454302, member: 2567"] I think we as fans care more about the attendance than the AD's do. They have made their business model and its all about the tv revenue, which I understand. However, its going to slowly kill off the sport or basically turn it into a studio show. Attendance is simple economics, you are expecting me to pay for something with my time, money and health which I can get for free. And you are basically relying on my "fandom" to make that choice. Now for my family that is not hard, we have been season ticket holders since the 70's, but you can't really expect to keep that as a successful model going forward. The complaints of the attending fans don't ever seem to be addressed (games are too long, kickoff times are bad or unknown for scheduling purposes, Tech schedules opponents no one cares about). Its the same year in and year out, yet the AA answers with constraints that make it HARDER to get into the games. I think just some minor steps could help Tech address some of these issues. For season ticket holders let kids in free, I like the discount idea, but make it applicable to all concessions, make parking free in campus lots for season ticket holders, give gameday purchases of merch. Finally my one pet peeve as I collect game programs, 10 for a program is stealing. Finally, I would identify our sidewalk fans and learn about them. Why Tech, especially in a town dominated by UGA? Ask them what we can do to help them recruit more fans. I have the utmost respect for the sidewalk fans as they have chosen to support our program for no intrinsic reason. I have lived in Orlando and now in Maryland and have never once considered buying UM or UCF tickets, so to those sidewalk fans I tip my hat to you. [/QUOTE]
