Message: [QUOTE="Nostical, post: 5157050, member: 749"] Nice recap as usual Biz. And Happy New Year. A few thoughts. —Key jingling is passé. Loud voices are timeless. —As for attendance I sent Fenway‘s group ticket supervisor (who I know) this statement I saw on Twitter. “Saturday’s Fenway Bowl between UConn and North Carolina set a new attendance record for the event. The announced attendance of 27,963 surpassed the previous high of 16,238 set in 2023. This marks the highest attendance in the Fenway Bowl’s three-year history.” As I congratulated him on the number, he told me those are the official ticket sales numbers. There were also about 3,500 tickets donated to charitable groups etc. Bottom line he said there were over 30,000 people there. He said given the morning rain and iffy weather forecasts it was a “stunning amount“ who showed up— and it blew the sponsors away. —Finally, as the first game of the day, more eyeballs around the country got a good look at UConn for the first time. In that first hour we made a great impression on the viewers, many who may have been looking for Belichick or this girlfriend-lol. I can’t tell you how many friends and business contacts around the country sent me texts that essentially said the same thing. “Wow-first time seeing your UConn team play. What a surprise. You’re demolishing UNC” I can see this bowl game serving as a paradigm shift in our fortunes. Let’s fill the Rent next fall. [/QUOTE]
