This may be stupid or brilliant, it's usually a fine line. I just sent this suggestion to the Gopher Athletics Marketing Department:
"I recently read an article in the paper about poor student ticket sales for TCF Bank Stadium. While I think the article was unfair, it is true that the student section is not full. My suggestion is to seek donors to "take the students to a game." For 10,000 students at roughly $15 per seat, it would cost $150,000 per game (or $1 million per season) for a company to pay for all of the students to get in free. Then at some point during the game, they could announce who sponsored the student section for that game and the students could respond "HATS OFF TO THEE!" It would be good advertising for the company and hopefully a solution to the student section problem."
Am I crazy? Don't many companies light cigars with a million bucks? Is the gratitude of the student section not worth the price? Wouldn't you go to a game for free?
Do you have a better idea?
