Hofstra Admin: Elon Attendance an Embarrassment
Posted: Sun Feb 25, 2024 11:44 pm
Absolutely shameful the crowd I saw on Sat night. A WEEKEND NIGHT game, a rarity for this program, the LAST home game of the year, SR night, and we can't get 3500 people in that friggin arena?
Are you kidding me? P R O M O T E. What are you all doing?? Run a pre-game dinner promo like the theatre does, combo game and local meal or something, that's exactly what we did, awesome grub together before the game to make a night of it and had a blast !!! This is just about the most affordable truly fun thing a family can do around here in the winter, USE THAT!!!
The student section was an absolute embarrassment. You can't run a promotion to get some friggin students in the stands? No bonfire? No free giveaway? Where were all the other sport athletes? Where is the MARKETING?? Try looking at what other schools do if your stuck!!
I mean my three little girls and their friends made more noise than dozen "students" in that section.
Look I'm not expecting a sellout this year, but good grief its the LAST HOME GAME OF THE SEASON for a 3rd place team still in the hunt, heck even *I* was there AND brought people. Stop depending on your Twitter to pack the house.
The people I brought had NEVER been to an HU game before, and said they would love to go, always wanted to - why haven't they?? Because NO ONE is trying to get them there. And they left super impressed. They'll be back because they're aware now. This isn't rocket science.
3500 people on a Saturday night in the HEART of hoops season should be a slam dunk. You all in the Dept should be ashamed. Start attaching KPI bonuses to your staff to get this done - aren't there measures of success like every other business?? Seriously, take some Pride in this damn it.
Friggin hire back HUSID's company for goodness sake if you can't figure this out on your own. Shoot I'll friggin do it, hire me. Maybe try offering discounts to bring others, I don't know, there are a MILLION ideas, TRY a few for the last game
And stop squeezing the life out of every eagle on your quarters and actually invest. Ya know, like a business. For the love of all that is good, do SOMETHING. As disappointed and demanding as I can be, even I can confidently say these kids work their butts off and deserve better. And it starts with YOU.
Rant over.
P.S. The dance team was fire. Kudos to them for bringing it last night even when their admin didn't.
