I've noticed all kinds of free giveaways, raffles, and some price cuts like you mentioned. At this point prices kind of are as cheap as they can get. I can get season GA tickets cheaper than what it would cost me to attend 1 Browns game. Hell students can get in for free and they still can't fill that section. Cutting prices further really isn't going to encourage more people to attend as price really isn't the deterrent. They need to work on improving the atmosphere to get people to feel attending a game is a quality use of their time.

Congratulations to Saad....he did really play well in the game on Sunday

From a story in the Washington Post about the greater influx of Middle Eastern women in the Olympic games Akron was a training ground for a weightlifter from the UAE. Note her reference to "James LeBron".

Going to take some time but they seem to be recruiting some good local talent & that will help over time if they keep winning
