[QUOTE="ThatGuy, post: 944954, member: 3440"] I've always said the Wreck Parade at Homecoming is the most uniquely Tech thing I can think of in school athletics branding - along with (of course) the Mini 500. Not saying that can be replicated for each home game - but perhaps those would be things we should focus on generating some more publicity about to the Atlanta public (beyond the footnote mention during the Homecoming broadcast, along with "I'm standing under the West stands, which were designed and built by students...". As a 20-something living in L.A., I went to several random events, including the World Grilled Cheese Competition, a monster truck rally, and a 500-person+ open-to-all Karate Kid party on the same beach that the Karate Kid bonfire party took place at (the same guy a year later invited a bunch of us to go to Golf N' Stuff from the film, which yes, is a real place). Point being, the social world is always interested in interesting & fun things. I remember attending the Wreck parade as a kid and being blown away by the fraternity wrecks. I can only imagine what seeing that sort of thing would do for the general public. Again, it's not something that we could replicate every week. And it's not something that we want to sell tickets to. But it's definitely a way to get some goodwill going from the people of Atlanta, and potentially draw some more people into the fold. If we start with figuring out how to better promote those existing events to the general public, it can lead us to some insight into what sort of other regular pre-game experiences we can put together.
