[NU Sports] Home night games this fall

[hakirsch at aol.com]

I would go so far as to give away a large bunch of tickets just to have the stadium packed with purple when seen on TV.  Give to high schools, charities,radio shows--you name it.  If they could get an extra 5-10,000 fannies in the seats it would look like we have quite a following locally. Do that for all of our prime time home games and it might be a great investment

Did you say purple glowing THUNDER sticks??? :)

But seriously, I agree. HUGE opportunity for Fitz, Persa and the Cats. Prime time games at home against mega-name foes (with the bumblebees stuck in between at night also!) ... this is a tremendous opportunity on the field.

It's also a huge opportunity off the field - Mr. Phillips has done some great things lately to increase the NU brand in Chicago and beyond. Now will come the real test. We need Ryan Field to be PACKED with PURPLE for those games. We need to have an amazing environment for college football. We've seen the Whiteout at Penn State ... Iowa tried a black/gold out ... Madison goes nuts at night (even more than usual) ... we need to make Evanston electric for those games. Pregame events and postgame fireworks are nice (maybe not for the stadium neighbors ... heh heh heh:) ), but we need something that lights up the TV when they see those Purple helmets and Fitz jumping on the sideline!

GO CATS!!!
