  • Things I would like to see.....

    ...at Carver next year.


    Sell outs......discount the top 1000 seats. $5.00. Get those that WANT to go but can't afford to take a family of 4 in for $20.00

    A NEW and IMPROVED video scoreboard. The one they have now is awful....need a bigger and better picture, PERIOD

    The Riverman Hockey sign covered up with a BRADLEY BRAVES sign for BU games. We are NOT the Rivermen and I have always hated seeing the sign during the games.

    A intro somewhat like the one we all love with DR holding the number 1 sign at the end but a bit shorter.

    All RED all the time. Make a push for 99% compliance. In stead of kiss cam have a Red cam....you focus in on someone not wearing red....offer them a red T and see if they put it on while on camera. Arm students with 500-1000 red T's every game and have them hand em out as needed.

    Less comercials more band.

    NEW acts....sorry quick change...you gotta go....YIKES.

    Big rally by the team and BU does the surfboard buzz kill. Its gotta go also.

    I realize its next to impossible but both end zones SRO for students and anyone else that wishes to stand and get loud the entire game. I also think students should get in free. We need more there. Can't force them and BU does a good job...but they must do better...somehow.

    Obviously scheduling and an exciting team is the BEST way to get the place revved up. I see a team that will be very eciting next year as JL wants to be even more uptempo and should be able to run more with more guards.

    Just some thoughts......interested to hear others.

      I agree with;
      Red should be worn at all games
      Scoreboard needs to be replaced
      better student attendance
      kiss cam to red cam sounds good
      win every home game

        DRU, I like your ideas. Also would like to see a continuation of pre-game rallys for big games.. --maybe even a more organized pre-game rally for other games as well----

          All Quick Change, all the time...
          People need to recognize there is a huge difference between playing hard, and playing well...

            It's really not the money at ALL, that keeps students from coming. I'm trying to think of ways to get more people to the games. I think BU Sports Marketing should try to reach out to RA's and get the freshman to come early. Being an RA I know how much we can get people started on something.

              I think that you bring up a very solid point here. I work with a person who is a recent Bradley grad and at times we will talk about BU and basketball. Long story short, this person hasnt been to a Bradley game in three years!
              Your point about BU sports marketing is also dead on accurate.

                  Don't see why BU marketing has to be involved. The students know when and where the game is. All they have to do is show up and support their team.

                    I think you need to get the students involved at the start of the season. Provide some kind of incentive for them to attend the Red White scrimmage and follow that with a first home game incentive. Then for the first road game that is televised throw a party in the student center. Give them a taste of the excitement early and often.

                        Nothing but the band and the cheerleaders during all timeouts. Stop the goofy promotions and PA announcements. Time for that stuff before the game and at halftime.

                          As part of this, produce a highlight film. It should feature the student section at Carver, game action at Carver, and the Sweet 16 run including the telecast at the Field House for the Memphis game. Show it at the freshman orientation. And that's where you could hand out tix for redemption for free stuff at the Red White scrimmage.

                            THATS the kind of creative thinking that I'm talking about. We need new ideas..the old status quo isn't working.

                              I'm a solutions oriented guy. I've other ideas, too. Some corporations have causal Fridays for their staff. How about sports (mainly bball) gear Fridays for the profs and staff? Have a drawing for those who participate.
