Someone needs to alert Steve Patterson that someone let people onto the field at Memorial Stadium for free. http://www.texassports.com/news/2015/8/17/sobs_0817152249.aspx This sort of Devil-may-care attitude towards giving away things that can be sold will not be tolerated.
Correct. This sort of thing is not part of the plan... building the brand and generating obscene revenues to feed the beast.
Just my observation. .. Some of you would complain if you were being hanged and they weren't using a new rope. I look forward to this "new tradition. " I miss the opportunity to take the kids onto the field where Vince, Ricky and Earl played. And I appreciate that it's not another money thing. Maybe it will even get some people to the game on time.
I can assure you, JustWin, If I was being hanged there are all sorts of things I would be complaining about. I think the video was cool, and I wish I could play on the field with my kids too. That turf now looks a lot softer than it did when we would play on it in the 1980's. It was hard as a rock back then.
This new event is a warm up for the new home game Fan Fest events. I am looking forward to it. http://www.texassports.com/news/2015/8/13/GEN_0813152623.aspx
AH Since this thread with link is on the one time event for UT freshman to go on the field and you posted in this thread about missing taking your kids on the field I didn't realize you were referring to something different. Ok got it. and all the game day activities certainly could help get people into the stadium.
My bad. Thread title got me thinking about the FREE Fan Fest event. Probably should have started a new thread with a more positive title.
