The difference at Purdue is not as great as at ND, I agree. But Purdue has a much bigger budget and the ability to scrape together enough to make improvements is just not as difficult. BSU runs all its sports on a thin margin, not much fat in the budget to move money to someplace when it is needed. Purdue has much more ability to raise money from alumni and friends. ND is totally different world as anyone who ever spoke with Bill Scholl about the differences between ND and BSU can tell you. We have needs and good plans that just can't be funded. I'm just talking about charging an admission for baseball games to offset some facility maintenance costs. Pretty simple. |

I'm just talking about charging an admission for baseball games to offset some facility maintenance costs. Pretty simple. I estimate less gain than you do. There would be loss of unit sales and there would additional overhead, and when I see maybe $9K or $10K a year it makes me say it might not be worth the effort to manage a change that could create some negative reaction and make later program promotion and development harder. You could be exactly right that $5 is the magic price point and nobody would pay any attention, and that we should just keep it simple and pass the hat, plan on keeping most of the current congregation. But, I keep thinking we can improve the product and have a better long term marketing plan, appeal to a broader audience, and base pricing and promotion on better data. Right now that free admission sounds like something we should be telling people about and building fan base. How hard should it be to give away a good product? Charge modest price then on bigger attendance later? |

It's the beer you can't get at the baseball games!
