A friend of mine used to play baseball for the Giants, LF next to Willie Mays. He sold corporate event boxes during the 2010 NLDS, and had a client back out one week before the first game of the NLDS playoffs. He gave me a call, I bought it ASAP, let all the rainmakers know. I also let our Chair know...great guy, from Boston, more of a hockey guy than a baseball guy. I asked him to show, and he told me he could show for 15 minutes, talk to the clients. Two hours after he got there, he was still there, called me up and asked if we could get another box. Playoff baseball is a great experience.
Stanford football is a great experience. Yes, use Andrew Luck to sell it to Stanford alums, baby steps, I get it after multiple 3-9 seasons. But maybe Mr. Luck could speak to groups that haven't historically included Stanford football on their event schedule. It's a lot of fun, it's family friendly, weather is usually pretty good, seats are really good, parking is more plentiful than I wish it were... Many successful organizations have Stanford alums, perhaps we could seed/spread it that way. It's a little bit of a tough sell, but if you get them there, it's a great way to spend a Saturday.
