Iowa moving students closer to the floor at Carver

[cidhawkeye]

Sell some beer down on the floor. 1st beer/soda FREE for students... Sell that sh*t at a discount after that first free one for students. Most are already paying out the nose for tuition, so don't over charge them for food/drinks at the damn game. That just encourages staying at home with a Frozen pizza and beer/soda.

I like the way you think

With all of that open space down on the floor can they bring a few Carver Cone machines down there to serve the students?

This idea must have been pretty solid. I noticed a couple of hours after I posted this it made its way to another thread.

I guess imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Not sure why that poster felt compelled to post it elsewhere rather than discuss it here where it was originally posted. Didn’t even give me credit. Reminds me of that jackwagon who tried to take credit for the idea for the wave.

I didn't see that they moved the ice cream machines yet or set up the bar on the lower level so the crowd was fairly pedestrian last night. Time to move this crowd to the top. Imitators and idea copiers be damned......

Maybe it’s time for a little churn in that area. How? That is the bigger question.

What is the donation required to sit down there?

What is the donation required to sit down there?

$600 per seat donation plus the actual cost of season tickets to sit in the lower level seats

 

[QChawks]

Penn St looks to have a similar problem

That’s not a ton of money. Move the Carver Cones down there and it breaks even. Make it happen.

Maybe start a ‘Go Fund Me’ program to buy the blue hairs out of those seats….. and get the ice cream machines and a bar down in that empty space

My grandma had blue/purple hair. She died when I was in 7th grade. One of my classmates asked if my blue-haired grandma was coming to Grandparents day in 8th grade and I said 'No, she died of cancer two months ago.' I hope that girl still remembers what a catty b!tch she was.

Great idea! Let's launch a herd of drunken students into the night after the games. What could go wrong?

So you think that they aren't drinking already when they don't come to the games? It just keeps them off the street for 2 hours during the game.

So only students who don't drink are allowed in?
Solid plan

 

[cidhawkeye]

Saw a few beers consumed last night at the meet. No riots ensued

 

[cidhawkeye]

The wrestling meet showed the arena can be electric

 

[cidhawkeye]

And the most surprising part was I had zero carver cones

Just helping play your game.

Much appreciated. We need to get those students down by the floor!!!! Maybe we need others to contribute to this concept. Keeping it at the top of the discussion is important.

I wonder if it would be possible to have a high school student section. Get some of the younger kids in before they start college to help grow their fandom. Offer them at a price somewhere between the college price and full price.

I became a fan at a young age by going to games, being able to watch them practice at the Fieldhouse, selling soda and popcorn at games, etc. getting kids into games early builds that fandom
