Heres an idea to increase attendance.

I am guessing you haven't been to a UNLV football game in a couple of years if you think they only have 21,000 or less people at a game?
Talking basketball here, hence being in the Tark board.
I am a fan of specials for football too, especially since concessions are quite expensive there.
I know they are raising football ticket prices this year, which I get. We are finally getting good crowds and Mullen wasn't cheap, but I would like to be cresting 50K on the regular before jacking up prices.

Yeah, unlimited food and drink isn't a great long term solution. Actually cheap to free tickets with the hope of concession sales is probably going to net more money.

But if ticket giveways don't work, doing cheap ticket/food packages is a good in between.

Point being we need to stop charging a premium for tickets and concessions when the place is < 33% capacity.

MWC & PAC Mediation Discussion for Poaching & Exit Fees

Agree 100% on the last part. The Pac signed the agreement meant to protect the MW against being backstabbed aka poached, but the Pac did it anyway and now doesn't want to pay what we agreed upon. F- that. Then we bend over and give soon to be irrelevant Gonzaga a full share when they don't play FB. And are now having to find someone - anyone - to be the 8th full member. What a bunch of shit.
What will become interest is if Gonzaga become irrelevant in basketball, while the rest of the conference is subsidizing them with football earnings!

Coastal Carolina Concessions




Recalling UNLV do something similar. I think maybe it was either season tickets holders only at SBS or it wad an extra $50 or something like that on the front end. That is definitely one way to get people to go to games. Not sure what their attendance has been, but this ain5 gonna hurt.
The did a special family package, that was really cheap, that included a free meal that I believe was somewhere along the line of a free drink, hot dog, chips or something like that. They also did this for some basketball games.

interesting covo with Johnny Football.

So when do they start striping titles and wins from coaches as former players start admitting how much money they were getting under the table prior to NIL be a thing? It was still a rule and it was still being broken, even if its "acceptable" by todays modern game...
Probably never, they would have to strip every title starting with all the ones Wooden won at UCLA until about 3 years ago including ours.

Free bunny ranch tickets might work. Maybe not the most recent season though with the way the team looked at times.

I dont see how this is sustainable for them... first, youre going to spend all game standing in a concessions line, there are only 4 general concession stands throughout their 21,000 seat stadium. Then you can get 4 items per visit, so youre in line all game to get max value..

I do agree, UNLV could provide some sort of package- like free popcorn or soda with ticket or something... might increase secondary concession sales plus add some family incentives.

Any word of the timeframe of the PAC announcing the new media deal? They've said it doesn't really matter too much on who the 8th team is, so why not just put it out there?
Because its bad and the commissioner is still trying to find other partners that can help increase it... thats the only thing that I can think of at this point knowing that she has said they were searching for "partners"
