ok...dumbest idea ever, to limit to x# fans.
IMO...you can't have a true (insert color here)-out...unless you give everyone a shirt. Just thinking...

If you really want to have a white out...give "everyone that comes to the game" a white shirt.
Be ready with 5,000 of them, you should be good. If 3,000 show, shoot the rest of em into the crowd in the NPMOM (I love that part) over the last few games. Or, have cheerleaders chuck 'em or give 'em to the few remaining ruckus-ers...

Can I patent this?

ETAA...

I told Mrs 208 about this...she said, they shouldn't call it a "white out", they should call it a "1,000 shirt white out".
I thought that was pretty funny, and told her I was going to post that. Then she said, "they should make them (the 1,000) all sit together"

Apparently we're hurting for cash right now.....then again, one of the sponsors usually do these, like Newport Propane....maybe not selling enough propane this winter.

Orr…and hear me out on this…everyone complaining could try actually SHOWING UP TO GAME ON TIME… if you actually did that, you probably would get a tshirt. I appreciate the athletic department still trying to do stuff, I’m guessing tshirts are not cheap. Say around $4/shirt x 5000, $20,000 is a lot to swallow.

I wonder what our concession gross and net are when there are 5,000 fans at the game. ??

I've wondered about that as well. It can't be that much relatively speaking. What do you think the % of people at the game that purchase food and/or beverage are? 10% maybe?

Not sure how 'SHOWING UP TO GAME ON TIME' actually gets you in to see the tip off, much less a tshirt.

For bulk apparel you can get these tshirts for about $2 a pop. Times 5000 that leaves you at $10k. Plus the fact athletics has contracts in place already with suppliers. Combined with the fact these tshirts typically have sponsor logos on it— $20k is a huge overestimate and peanuts to swallow. Tshirt giveaways are a standard.

You could try not getting to the parking lot 10 minutes before the game and expecting to get to your seat by tipoff. It’s incredible to me how the arena is always half empty when the team runs out. You complain that it’s because security moves slow, but it’s never taken me more than 10 minutes to get through the door.

Me thinks you should ask Mrs 208 questions more often. We need some new ideas.

I did think that, "they should all sit together" was brilliant....

Saint Louis (9-15, 2-9 A-10) welcomes the VCU Rams (16-8, 8-3 A-10) to Chaifetz Arena on Friday night for the Billiken Blizzard. Game time is 6 p.m.
Free Billiken Blizzard t-shirts will be distributed to all fans, courtesy of Summer at SLU and KMOX. Billiken fans are encouraged to wear white to the game. Also, the popular act "Zooperstars" will perform at halftime.
Friday's game will be televised on ESPN2 as part of the A-10/ESPN Friday Night Showcase. Mike Corey and Dalen Cuff have the call.
KMOX 1120 AM serves as the Home for Billiken Basketball on the radio. Billiken Hall of Famers and longtime SLU men's basketball radio partners Bob Ramsey and Earl Austin Jr. will the call the action for all SLU games, both at home and on the road.

Maybe PPT is different, but in Excel, a thousand shirts is a thousand shirts no matter what time you show up.

The point is still ... #canthaveacoloroutwithoutgivingthecolorout

ETA: I don't think 10 minutes from the lot to your seat should be considered unreasonable. It's not like you have to trek the Mall of America to get there. What do you suggest?
