He couldn't afford the Starzz but he can afford this?

Did Dave Checketts beat Larry at golf or run over his dog?

Hmmm. Maybe it's worth giving Tonya Harding Bat Night a try if things are that desperate in Stingerland...

Of course it hasn't been done in pro sports. The idea is to make money, not give away your product to make attendance figures look good.

It's so weird how the rolls are reversed in this market. The baseball team is struggling and giving away lots of free tickets. The soccer team (as far as I know) isn't even discounting their tickets, let a lone giving tons away and they're doing great.

I know it's only a few months into exsistance, but you know Larry is scared if he's doing something as drastic as this.

good find jose.

Play ball!
Larry Miller is offering free tickets to eight Stingers home games beginning Tuesday and ending June 7. Team officials believe the promotion is unprecedented in professional sports.
How it works: Beginning Saturday at 8 a.m., fans may register at http://www.stingers
baseball.com or call the team's ticket office at 801-325-2273. Fans must be preregistered online or by phone to receive the tickets.
The schedule and associated promotions:
Tuesday vs. Portland, 2-for-1 selected food items;
June 1 vs. Portland, $1 hot dogs;
June 2 vs. Portland, $2 beverages;
June 3 vs. Portland, free Stingers playing cards for first 2,500;
June 4 vs. Sacramento, free Stingers baseball card set for first 2,500;
June 6 vs. Sacramento;
June 7 vs. Sacramento.

Well, that is enough to get me to a couple of extra games. He must be worried about all of the other choices available (soccer). Maybe everyone will spend a little extra at the concessions and he will decide to make every game free :D

Yeah, but Franklin Covey should, in theory, keep the concession revenue.

Just a little desperate over there in the land of rounders.

I've got nothing personal against baseball. No point in that.

But giving away 100,000 tickets?
