Discussion Dear Mike Repole
So you’re demanding 5,000 Stallions season ticket purchases in the next few days, and then you promise “better marketing” AFTER that? Forgive me if I find that a little @$$-backward, Mike.
How about a month of solid advertising and then see how many purchases are made? Otherwise this sounds like Stan Kroenke saying he’ll keep the Rams in St. Louis if only the city spends a billion on the dome, when in fact he decided he was leaving years before.
I’ve talked to friends and family in Birmingham, big football fans, who didn’t even know the Stallions existed, and it would certainly be easy to not know given the near-total absence of marketing! If you truly believe in Birmingham as you say, let’s see it. Give the city a chance. Really get the word out and allow a little more time, and I think you’ll get the response you want.

Ok. I re-read that tweet about the “5,000 season ticket holders in a week” thing. Nowhere was there any sort of ultimatum that if Birmingham failed, the team would move.
It’s absolutely a soft sales target. A way to gauge how the city does without his dollars.
Right now, with him counting the suite as 200, y’all are at 1,600 of 5,000. 32% of the way to your target WITHOUT marketing dollars.
The object of the exercise isn’t 5,000 season ticket holders or bust. It’s “How much marketing does the city need to reach 5,000; and how much can they do just on their own?”
