Floundering franchise
My coworker pointed out to me today the lack of people at the latest Wichita Falls Wildcats' game.
My angst isn't with that of the people who don't go. We know Wichita Falls is a lukewarm town that can get excited over the new and good.
But what's coming out of Kay Yeager Coliseum is neither new or good.
There's not that much exciting going on over there. The stadium should be a rocking, and have an open invitation to come a knockin'.
But they're not.
My frustration is over the lack of successful market.
Come on, everybody does free hat/t-shirt/souvenir night. But where is the originality. It doesn't really feel like Wichita Falls owns the Wildcats.
That's what we need.
In other successful markets - 100,000 population, 7,000 seat stadium - the ideas don't cease to exist my any stretch of the imagination.
But the imagination is what they have.
I've heard of a "Bible Belt Night" before. The first 100 or so, got a free belt buckle that had "bible belt" read across it.
How hilarious is that?
What happen to mohawk night. I would love to see a couple of women come and get there heads shaved just so.
And the military is the step child for the team. Yes they give free tickets to the game, but for the defenders of the nation, is that really enough. They signed up, willing to die for us, and we give them a couple of hockey tickets for they will.
Wildcats, where's the love?? I just want a hug.
