GoZips Posted March 2, 2013 Report Posted March 2, 2013 Never promise what you can't deliver. What?, I have done that with women all my life. sigh Quote
Hilltopper Posted March 2, 2013 Report Posted March 2, 2013 I promise you, If we told the Dukes/ North Carolina, UCLA'S, Kansas of the world: Come to the Jar and I will pay you 275,000+, they wouls be all over that. I have been trying to find it, but North Carolina Women came to the jar back in the early 90's if I remember correctly(I could be wrong), so it can be done Do you have $275k laying around that you don't need? All we would need to do is sell out the JAR at about $75 per ticket to pull that off. Quote
GoZips Posted March 2, 2013 Report Posted March 2, 2013 Do you have $275k laying around that you don't need? All we would need to do is sell out the JAR at about $75 per ticket to pull that off. We could cover the 275k by selling out the Que at only twenty dollars a ticket. And make a profit on the concessions. Wait this has been done before when the Zips hosted top five ranked Pittsburgh at the old Richfield Coliseum. That game drew over fifteen thousand clear back in the Bob Huggins era. I, for one, would love to see the Zips play one or two out of conference games each season at the Que. Obviously that would require scheduling only the top name Big Six + Gonzaga teams. Quote
Dr Z Posted March 2, 2013 Report Posted March 2, 2013 Great idea, you should take your idea to Tom, I bet he could get it done. Quote
Dave in Green Posted March 2, 2013 Report Posted March 2, 2013 Coach Dambrot has already said he would consider playing a few "home games" at the Q if it would help attract bigger-name opponents for the Zips. Quote
Hilltopper Posted March 2, 2013 Report Posted March 2, 2013 5500 x $20.00 = $110,000.00 5500 x $50.00 = $275,000.00 I guess we would only have to charge $50. My math was a little off yesterday. I like the idea of playing at the Q too. Quote
Sergeant Zip Posted March 2, 2013 Report Posted March 2, 2013 If Malone's Womens team can, Akron should be able to. Quote
LZIp Posted March 2, 2013 Report Posted March 2, 2013 Say we are able to bring OSU or Pitt or Michigan St to the Q... We would probably have to give them a chunk of the the revenue and they would probably have more fans there than us... Quote
ksu sucks Posted March 2, 2013 Report Posted March 2, 2013 and they would probably have more fans there than us... You mean potential converts? B) Quote
LZIp Posted March 2, 2013 Report Posted March 2, 2013 You mean potential converts? B) I guess that is looking at it as the half glass full lol. I would prefer that over Coppin St. Quote
