What "theme" associated promotions have schools found to be the most popular? (i.e. disco, hawaiian, camo, 80's, etc.) How were they incorporated? We have an R+B/Funk artist (James Brown style) that will be perfoming live at halftime and postgame for basketball, and we'd like to associate this with a theme to attract students. Thank you for your suggestions...

Now it was a soccer doubleheader and we played the USC Trojans and Mich St Spartans, but you could still incorporate greeks with this promotion for any sport. The members can dressed in togas and the greek org with highest in attendance won something. Good Luck, Brent *FSU*FSU*FSU*FSU*FSU*FSU*FSU*FSU*FSU*FSU*FSU Brent DiGiacomo Asst.

As for successful theme nights (in general) created to increase attendance - or more specifically, group ticket sales - the appreciation nights (teachers, nurses, armed forces, etc.) have proven to be successful for increasing attendance and ticket revenue. Faith and Family Night (some schools choose to do "Family Night") has been one of the more popular themed events with college and professional sports. Some pro teams and colleges have also held successful "Gospel Night" events. Black Heritage Night/Week has been popular during February and the celebration of Black History Month. Sports and Entertainment Career Night/Expo has been well attended, and the cheer and dance clinics/themed events usually draw well, while also providing the cheer/dance squads a fund-raiser, and entertaining your fans. The traditional Scout Nights (boys and girls) continue to do well when tickets are packaged with on-court time, a patch, food and/or post-game (15-minute) Q&A with a coach or student-athlete. The twist is colleges are having multiple Scout Nights versus just one annual event, and providing two different patches/events to encourage repeat attendance/ticket sales. Although these are just a handful of the many themed events being implemented, I hope they give you a new idea or two for your athletic events. Best of luck with the rest of the season, and I hope everyone has a safe and Happy Holidays!
