UMBC does a better job of marketing than UMD does

Last night I took my kids to a UMBC soccer game...

UMBC has something called the "Kids Retriever Club" (the retriever is their mascot).

For $25... the kids get a t shirt, a backpack and an UNLIMITED entry to all home sporting events for the whole year.

I'm not saying we can copy this type of promotion... but dont tell me we cant be more creative in our ways to drum up interest from the local Maryland community.

Anybody with even a modicum of marketing success could get better attendance at our games for very little added cost.

It is just a matter of will at this point.

In the meantime I'll be taking my kids to Retrievers games for everything besides football.
