And this is how you make the attendance numbers go up. This is exactly what one of the Florida SBC schools did to get their numbers up. If you gave a $___ donation, that equivalent of money equaled the equivalent of season tickets.

I dislike Texas State-San Marcos more than the next guy, but they just got a $100k donation for all recent alums (last three years) of the school to receive two complimentary season tickets for this coming football season. Good idea -- brings in recent alumni and hopefully, you can catch them on as active supporters of your program. Props to those that made this thing happen...

Great donation - and the idea to engage the young alumni is brilliant.

Texas State Athletics Announces $100,000 Donation by Jerry and Linda Fields

Gift will provide free '08 football season tickets to recent grads


June 27, 2008

SAN MARCOS - Texas State athletics announced Friday that it has received a $100,000 donation from Jerry and Linda Fields to go toward The Drive's 2008 football season ticket goal.

The donation marks the largest single contribution toward season tickets in Bobcat athletics history and will help provide free 2008 football season tickets to recent Texas State alumni.

"This is a major step forward toward our goal," said Texas State Athletics Director Larry Teis. "We are very thankful for the Fields stepping up and hope others will do the same." ....

Ticket gas gauge is looking better for the Bobcats program. Still believe the goal was low, but it seems efforts are being made by the athletic department and the outside helpers to acheive the goal and smash it...



Question is, will the seats be filled?

Is Texas State's goal 2500 for this year?

Good for them on the donation, but I think its pretty sad when someone has to donate $100k for season tickets just to get people in the seats. Good luck on your FBS pipe dream.

Yep, pretty sad.

I am crying all over this $100K donation. Free tickets for me and something to go tell all my friends to go pick up.

its remarks like this that you'll regret when y'all try and follow our move. y'all will have just as much trouble if not more trying to fill seats.
