UConn Football Summer/Fall of 2017 - Camp REStorred

[huskymedic]

I thought media was going to have access on Fridays? The first Friday they moved to Monday. The second Friday they didn't have practice. Did they have access yesterday? I haven't seen any articles. We are starved for more updates.

Not sure when next Media availability is - haven't seen anything.

Ok. Thanks. Seems very quiet.

I told Dave we'll be in our seats 20 minutes before kickoff to take in the UCMB pre-game. Its what makes the college atmosphere so special. It's what all the big time programs do. And at Vandy, if the frat guys aren't in the stadium before kickoff they lose their student tickets. We couldn't believe it but when it was time for us to go in they were rushing (no pun intended) the gates.

I like this. Sell discounted student tickets that they have to be in before the kickoff and stay until the final gun to be able to keep. Call it ... I don't know..."Dog Pound Die Hard Seats" or something.

Not sure how many times this needs to be suggested but, if they tied the tickets to their student ID's, then they can give refunds and assign priority points for ID's scanned before 11:45. Colleges already use the ID's as tickets.

Student tickets should be free. Last year was the first year transportation was free for students which a step in the right direction to helping get students into the game. Incentivize students attending by tying in attendance with preferential seating at basketball games, or something of that nature.

Free college sports tickets = build the cost into the student fee, but yeah. I guess you you could make the 'Dog Pound Die Hard' tickets free, so long as the kids get there on time. I guess the best way to check when kids leave is give them a code to text after the school song is sung.

Actually this is pretty doable.

Free = not valued. The GHO used to be awash in free tickets, for many years couldn't give them away even with hospitality access.

There should be a nominal charge and if you want to use that money to pay for swag (t-shirts etc), to refund for attendance, food vouchers or other incentives. I don't know what student tickets cost these days but I'd be shocked if it were more than $100 for the season.

I think one incentive is to form tailgate clubs with prime real estate and maybe some permanent facilities. Again, other schools do this.

The first thing to do is start an official student supporters club. Do it like the American Outlaws do it, Tifos, marches, flags. Heck, let them escort the team on the Huskywalk. You just need some students/staff to lead the thing.

Less than $50. It's not the $$ per se - it's the losing.

 

[CL82]

Make it a credit against Men's BB season tickets for the kids who make every game for the whole game?

So $8 for a shirt and $40 for the tix. Definitely not a money thing. My guess it's a hassle thing or a I can get drunk/flirt on campus thing. Making being in the student section fun is the obvious answer.
