Interesting comments. When my son played for Princeton (2019-2022), I was fortunate enough to attend every one of his Ivy League games home and away. I am also a long time season ticket holder for the University of Arizona and have attended road games at the Rose Bowl, Memorial Coliseum, and LSU’s Tiger Stadium, among others. And I’ve attended quite a few NFL stadiums. Perhaps because my son played and my vested interest as a football parent, I found the experience more rewarding and wondered why none of the Ivy League football programs seemed to focus on marketing the programs as is the norm for FBS programs. The product/experience was obviously not the same as FBS football, but in many ways I found it better, more intimate, and even more fun. I just wonder if these programs, which I assume are never going to spend big $$$ on marketing football, could create a student marketing group of interns/volunteers to sell this unique game experience to alumni and potential football fans in the area. Seems like a missed opportunity.
