1) What is it that makes your team unique and separates your team from the rest?
2) As an average fan, how hard and how expensive is it going to be for me to get a ticket to one of your games. I know most teams sell out almost every game, but how much advance planning, begging, or saving do I need to do to actually get inside the stadium a couple of times a year?
3) What's the absolute best thing about the game-day experience for your team? Is it the product on the field? The all day tailgating? The in-stadium violence between mutual Eagles fans? Give me some insight.
Just to clarify, fan voting, comments, and emails play a big role in all of this. In the overview, we said there would be around 10 points for this, but at that time, I wasn't expecting the great responses I've gotten. Because of the great feedback I've gotten thus far, this is going to be adjusted accordingly. I'll get into more specifics soon, but just know that the fan vote/comments/emails, etc. are going to be a big factor.
So spread the word and get some of your fellow fans on board and let me know what it is that makes your team great to root for (or why I should run in the other direction as some Detroit and Cleveland fans have told me).
I'll get this started with a few words on behalf of the 49ers.

2) I am a 24 year old college student from Utah so the logistics of attending games in person are overwhelming. A buddy and I attended the 49ers-Seahawks game a few weeks ago and paid about $190 for ninth row seats via StubHub. Gas and hotel added a bit more to the trip total. Totally and absolutely worth every penny.
3)As you know from sticking with your current teams in other sports, longevity is what really makes these realtionships special. Rooting for the Niners comes with not only the history of great teams and five Super Bowl wins, but also the recent decade of futility. That makes our current prospects of an up-and-coming team with an exciting defense, a great coach, a new stadium on the horizon, and the possible additions of Crabtree and the Panthers (high?) first rounder next year all the more special. Waiting was hard but it feels good now.
As a Cleveland fan who explained to you the value of joining the Browns bandwagon a few weeks ago, I am again lobbying you and as expected the getting has gone from good to better. The recent trade of Braylon Edwards should build confidence that things will be improving, or at the very least that LeBron will eventually own the team. Come to think of it, since they derived their name from their founder Paul Brown, it is not out of the realm of possibility that they could be renamed the LeBrons when his ownership becomes official.
ReplyDeleteAt any rate the trade, plus the shake up at QB shows that this team is willing to make a change to get over the hump. It also reinforces my buy low theory. There should be little question that we will be in line for one of the stud coaches in waiting to come on board next season. Additionally, the QB mess shows that you can start rooting for Sam Bradford right now, which as a Tide fan is nice since you don't have to worry about eventually having to root for Tebow. (not so likely if you choose, say Jaksonville)
