Dear Falcon Club Members:
I'm writing with an update on our football attendance situation - and a request for your help, because you truly can make a difference.
As you may have heard, we need to average 15,000 in paid home football attendance this fall in order to maintain our Division I-A status. One ramification of not meeting the 15,000 target is the possibility of not being eligible to compete in post-season bowl games. Beyond the bowl penalty, there is the very real perception issue - which would hurt all of Bowling Green State University.
While the recent Eastern Michigan game was our best Perry Stadium attendance of the year, we still need a big crowd for the Nov. 15th game against Miami. Given the uncertainty of weather and mid-week constraints for alumni that live far away, we need to take all variables off the table and focus on the pre-sale of tickets.
You can help push Bowling Green over the top by purchasing a block of tickets for the Miami game. Here are the details:
1. Tickets are $21 each or just $7 each if you order a block of 20 or more.
2. Ordering tickets is easy...
1. Go to bgsufalcons.com
2. Click on the "Single Game tickets" button in the center of the page.
3. Input the code GOBG to gain access to the $7 rate for a block of tickets.
If you're able to purchase a block of tickets, the best thing is to bring friends or family members and help us fill up the Doyt. Another option, though, is to donate your block of tickets to the Falcon Club. By donating your tickets, you will receive a gift receipt for the value of the tickets and our staff will distribute the tickets to area not-for-profit agencies for their use.
This is an important time for Bowling Green Football and we need the entire Falcon Family to come together. In addition to this letter, we have a number of marketing initiatives planned for students and other potential fans. The attendance mark is an acheivable hurdle, but we will all need to focus on selling out the Doyt on Nov. 15.
"Fname", thank you in advance for your consideration of purchasing a block of tickets - and your continued support of BGSU's student-athletes.
Sincerely,
Greg Christopher
Assistant Vice President of Student Affairs
Director of Athletics
