[NU Sports] Home night games this fall

[Jim Leonard]

Taking a page from the Randy Walker playbook, you could give tickets to high 
school groups who need to raise money and donate $1,000 to whatever school 
cheers the loudest. 


Go Cats!

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!!!
