Baseball Season Tickets - Another Record Pending?

[bomanishus]

From the MSU Athletics office...

MSU continues to approach a school record for baseball season ticket sales. With sales continuing into the season, the MSU Athletic Ticket Office reported the sale of 5,462 baseball season ticket through Feb. 17. It's the fourth-highest season ticket sales total at MSU and just 134 away from the school-record 5,596 total in 2002.

Hard to believe a last place team can and probably will break the season ticket totla.

I think this one goes to Byrne. No offense to Cohen, becuase I do think that having a team that is at least trying helps.

Wait and see what happens when we start winning.

Most of what I've seen marketing-wise this year is just positive articles on Cohen and the baseball team in the Hump.

What we need is a BIG"We're gonnalead the country inattendance!" or similarmarketing push for season tickets.Since official attendance is paid attendance, we could lead the country in official attendance with such a push (although it would be much more difficult now that LSU and Arkansashaveexpanded a little more).

An idea I had a few years ago would be to announce a maximum capacity for DNF-PDS. Just report that we will not sell any more than 12-13k tickets to any game and you'll have at least 1-2,000 more fans buying season tickets just to make sure they can get in the big games, even though only the SBW Saturday will approach that number. Unless we're really hoping to break the 14,991 record, capping the tickets sold won't hurt anything. You could evenmake an exception for SBW Saturday and any regionals, and you'd still have a huge increase in season tickets, especially if you made a lower cap, say, 11,000. From theincreased season ticket sales,actual attendance will also improveas many of thosefans will attend games they otherwise might not have, since they will have paid for season tickets.

What would we have to do to the lounge to make it safe for a capacity crowd of 15,000+?

 

[ScoobaDawg]

we will ever get 15k+ in there again is after a grandstand expansion.

As far as making LFL more safe, you could add concrete bases on which the contraptions would sit.
But my question then would the school be getting into a point where they have to inspect or make sure the rigs are safe. liability kinda deal with insurance.

I agree. I think we should do a major renovation of left field lounge. Level concrete pads for the home-built stands, major dirt moving to allow for more sets of home-built stands on the outer rows, get rid of the center field lounge parking lot, and more/better LFL concessions, and a permanent walkway all the way around the lounge (I hate the mud walkway in front of the scoreboard and many with LFL spots block the boardwalk so you can't walk on it all the way around).

That and extending the chairbacks down the lines (with more skyboxes) and bricking over the exterior facade. Don't care about a baseball club level (and I love the CL in Davis Wade). Due to replacing bleachers with chairbacks, the number of permanent seats won't increase significantly, but the renovation would result in more season ticket sales and attendance.
