GP1 Posted March 26, 2012 Report Posted March 26, 2012 I think someone should champion the cause to start a nationwide fan club with chapters all over the place, something akin to the Browns Backers. We can call ourselves the Zips Zealots. GP1, get it going...I volunteer to do whatever I can for the Ashland/Wayne County chapter. The champion should be The University of Akron. I'm just a guy with a computer who is willing to serve the University if asked. They know I'm interested. It can be more than just watching games together. The guy who did OSU programs had 50/50 drawings and all profits went to their Foundation. They had donation forms OSU supplied him with laid out at all events. They have a contract with the bowling alley uptown Charlotte for football games...The establishment agrees to pay a donation of 10% of revenues generated during the game including 30 minutes pre and post game to the OSU Foundation. They get around 250 to go. 10% of people drinking and eating for four hours can generate a lot of income. It seems like a lot of work, but it isn't. The restaurant has people who get paid to figure out what to do with these events. Quote
zen Posted March 26, 2012 Report Posted March 26, 2012 How do we know how many Buckeye honks will show up either? Just because they are inviting people to come to a baseball game wearing Red and Silver, and its not even one of their own sporting events? Akron has 30,000 students right down the street, plus faculty and staff. If it was announced properly at the U, I bet you'd be surprised how many people would show up. I go to Canal Park once in a blue moon. But, I'd go for that event. If Akron can't show up and OSU fans do, then people not to stop complaining. Reality is reality. Deal with it. It's like whining about Justin Beiber or Reality TV. Quote
Spin Posted March 26, 2012 Report Posted March 26, 2012 Imagine if the Rowdies cornered all the bleacher seats for that game... Quote
