[NU Sports] Saturdays at Dyche Stadium

[mlinhardt at netzero.com]

Actually - BTN got a 330 CT time slot for the NU-PSU game.  

Evanston allows one night game a year (if we ask in advance)

We need to do a better job with traffic control.  Central should be
closed off to anyone without a parking pass going east bound from GB and
west bound from the el.  Maybe discount tickets to people who use public
transportation to get there?  Set up a tailgating area in the old movie
theater or one of the now-empty lots on the south side of Central?

Here's my idea again - give away tickets to radio stations as part of
their give aways (since they often have contests) AND this gets you
publicity - "We're giving away a family four pack to the NU-whoever game
this weekend, the 5th caller will win..."  I don't know how that
actually works, but, it's a thought.

Have something where you buy two adult tickets and get a child ticket
free in certain sections?

Finally, about the start times.  I believe the Big Ten contract with
ESPN/ABC prevents them from placing games on the BTN during certain
restricted time periods (ABC 2:30PM CT afternoon games), which means
it's
either 11AM or 6PM.  And the 6PM games on BTN are exclusive time windows
that must be announced before the season starts, and Big Ten policy
doesn't
allow conference night games in November/December.  There's also the
Evanston opposition to too many night games.  So, NU is basically stuck
with
11AM starts.  That's the price of having every home game available
nationally on TV, which arguably brings a lot more attention than
starting
the games in the afternoon with no TV coverage.
