The Answer is Marketing....

Another issue with television marketing... the age group that watches live tv or news is unlikely to be the target audience. It's a lot of money to reach a few older and disinterested individuals. Whereas the 30/40 year old career focused folk have already cut cable and moved to add free streaming.

We could advertise more on espn, but that group is probably already contributing.  It's all about 15 minutes of fame now. Win, do something crazy, get on everyone Facebook shorts or tik toks. Generate buzz and then you can commit to a wider campaign.

I know you're the ad expert but it's really 500k for a small ad campaign on some local news networks? 

Shit, can we afford to at least send out a postcard reminder to every mailbox in the DFW alumni network? 

So Milestone Electric is spending 500k on DFW marketing each month?  That is hard to believe.

I would love if this AD could send emails, yet along a postcard.

Most people in this town not already going to the games, don't even know when we have a home game.  How about getting businesses and the city to put up Green UNT flags on game days around town?  The week of maybe?

Not sure what Milestone Electric is paying for their monthly TV ad spend because we don't have enough information to make that determination. 

What has been discussed in this thread is placing a single UNT football TV ad across local news stations at or around primetime viewing hours, and airing those spots multiple times to saturation the market. Here are the local DFW stations that have the lion's share of viewership.

- KDFW: Fox 4

- KDAF: CW 33

- NBC 5: Dallas-FW

- WFAA: ABC

- KXTX: CBS

- KUVN-DT: Univision (if we we want to target the hispanic market)

A budget of $500K is very easy to spend once it's spread out over 5-6 local news channels in the #5 DMA in the country, during/around primetime watch hours.

Many more potential fans and alums outside of Denton.   Denton refuses to acknowledge they even have a college football program to support.  They are more into high school football.

Go after the young families moving into Denton. Make it the Mean Green Village Fairgrounds for 7 Saturdays a year with different themes. October fest, funnel cake fan fest, food drive game in November, summer sizzling barbecue bonanza for a September game.
...
Do some fun things the community would come out to and get them into the stadium. Jared is doing some creative things this season. Like Oktoberfest and tickets and tee promotion. Sellout game push and more to come for November. Keep creating interesting unique and different because UNT definitely is creative unique and interesting. 

GMG

I keep saying the same thing about Frisco (and the surrounding area). 
We are the closest FBS team to that huge influx of people.
Make them feel like they are a part of the MG family.

That's fine for the under 50 age crowd, but for over 50 (which is the older alums, potential larger donors, and longer-time overall NT supporters) you will not make contact with them.  

I would guess the crowd in DATCU stadium is 40% over age 50, 40% under age 25, and 20% in between.

Maybe we should put ticket offers on fast food wrappers.
