It’s a fair question. No, I am not referring to recyclables, but there is that.
I already see people unraveling over some lesser performances in comparison to last year’s on-field production. I was guilty of the same in the beginning of the VA game. Luckily I had a birthday dinner with my parents to relieve me from witnessing most of the sub par performance during the AP game.
Still, the world of fanatics is volatile, and the prosperity of many depends on a sustainable product. Revenue is lost when we don’t perform well. Support and positivity is always important, but difficult to sustain if we aren’t winning.
That said, Danny and Randy and many others have a lot of plans that revolve around revenue generation beyond traditional ticket sales. I am not privy to P&Ls, but conceptually, they seem to be on another level with their planning than most in similar positions. They seem to welcome our ideas.
Considering that, here are a few:
I don’t think anyone has been against revamping the stadium as long as projects pay for themselves. I have thought about extending the real estate of Neyland and the overall product, but in such a way that would prevent any additions from becoming empty space if we aren’t winning.
Add-ons to Neyland as a part of the eventual college sports multi purpose city project to allow for everything from large corporate party options, residential real estate, and potentially high tech NFL prospecting booths come to mind. Views to the field and surrounding area would create a unique experience during and between every game day.
Additional sponsorship options perhaps? I respect they decided to stick with keeping the name of Neyland while leveraging the basketball venue for sponsorship. But sponsored areas of the stadium make sense. Maybe that is already in play.
Thinking way outside of the box, is there a market for the development of proprietary state-of-the-art prospecting tools and booths? We could employ our computer science program to head up part of that venture which would be a revenue generator. Would NFL pay to have access to such tools/units and games?
Is a Legasse’s stadium venue as a part of part of a wrap around skybox project palatable? Imagine sitting in a stadium seated indoor venue with screens and boards at eye level and above with windows to watch the game below. Do our existing skyboxes include such features?
Essentially, the less revenue depends on wins and losses the better. The more revenue we generate however, the more we can pay our coaches and invest in whatever else that differentiates our program/product.
Any thoughts? Better hotdogs?
