The Ratings Are In!

Good point but do you not think that the fact that they televise it that will deter ticket sales, thus making it harder for us to generate the anticipated atmosphere?

Just a thought, what do you think about it?

Those people will watch from their couch and then regret not being at Rice-Eccles because of the atmosphere we are going to create 🙂.

They will then pony up the dow to come out to other games in the season.

Of course, this is just my opinion.

I think it is a good thing to televise the first few home games to get the buzz out there. I think the fact that they don't televise all of the home games is a good thing in the long run, but this first year or two they need to get out there as much as possible.

People might want to stay home and watch it on TV right now when the weather can't decide if it should snow or be 65 degrees, but I would think that once it gets nicer and we get into the summer months, people will be more compelled to come stand in the sunshine.

Lame, I know, but people are flaky!
