Message: [QUOTE="Deepster, post: 5094527, member: 25"] [B]Solutions:[/B] [LIST] [*]Assemble a tailgate or “football gameday entertainment” council to specifically address this issue. [*]Sponsored food in tailgate area for students. Leverage local companies and business (Big Y, Moe’s, Bears BBQ). Minimal cost to get in ($5.00 or less), use Husky Bucks, free food if alumni or other donors can cover some/all costs. Make it good enough to be worth while. [*]Leverage matchups with food – Wings vs Buffalo, Cheesesteaks vs Temple, etc. [*]Offer eating contests for fun/prizes. [*]Come up with our own version of ESPN College Gameday. [*]Tailgate game area – cornhole, washers, etc. Offer tournaments to those interested. [*]DJ or live music acts. [*]Leverage local bars like Teds or Huskies to maybe have “Teds South” trailers or RV’s. Use their brand to generate buzz. [*][B][B]Important: Get a student council with representation from all classes, Greek life, backgrounds, ethnicities to what THEY want or would think is worth it.[/B][/B] [/LIST] And to Duncan's comment? Again, I'd say you need to make the EVENT something worth attending. If the history and record of the team aren't your draw, then give them FOMO of what they're missing out on. As someone else mentioned, the weather has been A+ to every game....is it that difficult to plan a big fun outdoor party for them?[B][/B] [/QUOTE]
