Need to sign New General Manager and scouting staff. Kids that get drafted and want out of this organization speaks volumes to the direction the Team is heading in. Good talent when drafted don’t come or advise team not to pick them. Track record doesn’t lie.
Team could double attendance if every time they have 3800 fans at Game they do a give away Dodge Dart or Truck value $16000.00 dollars. With average ticket price even giving away vehicle they would have more revenue that they’re getting now. Then fans would have reason to come even if product on ice is developing for Next year. Just a marketing idea. Ticket average say $15.00 x 2200 extra fans equals $33000.00 minus price is net gain of $17000.00 over 40 home games is $680000.00 Fans flock to games just for prizes Win Win for everyone.
