Ideas from MO State for Gameday

I thought they had a great idea to get student engagement in game day. They brought students on the field for contests during long media timeouts. One game they had was a football toss, sponsored by a local bank. They had a board on wheels they rolled out in the endzone. It had 3 holes, $100, $150 a...

Re: WIU at Missouri State (10/20/2018)

Western wins the game 31-14. 565 total yards for Western (260 yards rushing). 283 total yards for Missouri State. Attendance at Missouri State = 12,109. I went to the game with a friend of mine whose son goes to MSU. He told us, since it was homecoming, his Fraternity required all their brothers to...

Re: ST, how was your visit with Associate AD?

I wonder if you emailed the Athletic dept and explain who you are and what you want to do, they might be able to tell you if they are any home events that day, not necessarily who they are playing. Just a thought. Why should you have to do that? Just update the website Well like Scott said, probabl...

Re: ST, how was your visit with Associate AD?

As a web developer, I have to agree with you on that. You HAVE to have an updated website...can't get by with info that's months old (at this point, 3 of the 5 fall matchups are over a month old) with not even any scores posted. And if you click on the live stats links, it takes you to a page that ...

Re: Attendance Ideas and Solutions

I'd like to see us average 9,000 with an occasional 12,000 game from time to time. I think that is both achievable and healthy for revenue creation for the school. Doesn't mean I wouldn't love to ave 15,000, I just don't know if that is possible with our Hotel room situation. And it's hard to increa...

Re: ST, how was your visit with Associate AD?

I wish I would have thought of this before your meeting. One thing they need to get better at, which could be immediate and very easy, keep their website updated. I went in the other day to see the Spring schedule for Softball. The spring schedule isn't there, but the Fall short season was. All the...

Re: Attendance Ideas and Solutions

Not sure what "The" answer is. But I do know it needs to be addressed by EVERYONE who cares about the program and the University. We all can't sit back and hope someone else cares for it. Small steps help. If everyone of the 3,750 fans brought just 1 more person, our ave would be 7,500. Ho...
