My challenge to those near BG

1987alum · Post by **1987alum** » Mon Sep 26, 2005 1:42 pm

Enough about worrying about attendance.

Do something.

My challenge to those in the Greater Bowling Green Metropolitan Area, or those planning on attending multiple games is simple - bring someone to the game. And not the person you usually bring to the game (though you should bring them, too). Bring someone who likely would not have attended a BG game this year. Bring someone who has never gone to a BG game. Heck, be a big spender and spring for the ticket. Bring them to the tailgate and show them how much fun it is!

If several hundred people here each brought one person, that could move the needle, noticeably. It's classic viral marketing!

Enough griping. Do Something!

Jerry City, Rudolph. Is Elmore too far away?

Should be able to draw at least 20 or 30 extra fans from some of those thriving metropolises.

Why not add Belmore and Leipsic? Or, for that matter, Gibsonburg and Helena?

Well, since it is in the same county don't leave out Perrsyburg. Sheesh bring the rich kids down, they'll spend some money.

Because I think you and I and our spouses represent the sum total of BG fans in Leipsic and Belmore.

Does anybody actually still live in Belmore? I had a classmate (I should say 'some of the time' classmate as he joined our class after flunking a few and I don't think he ever graduated high school) that was mayor there until he got thrown in jail.

I am recruiting some friends (2 adults, three kids) from Gibsonburg to join us for the game!

Don't know about from Helena.

Actually, my brother has been to a few games in the past. He usually works on Saturdays now so its a bit more difficult to get him here.

As for Belmore.....from what I understand way back when it used to be a great little town (well before I remember). The last "decent" people to live there were the Kelly's, I believe. Any more, the whole place could be condemned and I doubt that anyone would care.

Anyway, back to talking about bringing more people to home games ...

Just trying to figure out how far out the "Metro Bowling Green area" goes!

Well, folks from Cleveland who are coming to the game can bring along a friend, too. Let's not limit ourselves!

When I first thought we'd be coming for the Temple game, I had a friend who's a Temple student all ready to join us for the trip.

Yeah, Elmore is too far. It's more like in the Woodville Greater Metropolitan Area.

I am bringing three extra people with me. All I had to do was mention beer. Also helps that the Blackeyes are not playing.

I'm bringing 3 extras with me also.

FWIW, I heard a radio commercial this morning inviting listeners to tailgate and come enjoy the game on saturday. The marketing has been better this year, even if it still has a long ways to go.

I for one can't wait for this game -- even if it is against Temple. It's been way too long since I've seen some foosball in the Doyt.
