Well as for me, I prefer to watch from home instead of from the corners where my vision is too blurred to see the action.
Prices are reasonable, that's no excuse.
Frankly, I think people just don't care about the Jazz. They haven't gotten near the media attention that GS/Mavs/Denver/Suns have. And lets not kid ourselves, a lot of the people that go there are casual fans that get their perceptions from the media, the paper, ESPN. Sure, everyone here knows how good the Jazz are, but the casual fan?
Nope. Utah is near the bottom on the NBA "notability" scale.
Do people not knwo about McDonalds and Coke?
Are you going to present a real argument here or are you going to continue asking silly and pointless rhetorical questions?
Don't answer; I already know the answer to my own silly and pointless rhetorical question.
Year in and year out the Spurs have the highest or some of the highest tv ratings per market in the NBA. I'd bet merchandise sells are big too, yet all that and one Sunday after noon game isn't sold out by 300 and Spurs fans arfe pathetic, the city can't support them in the long run, etc, etc.
, this alarmist at ude isn't just for after a loss is it?
I was scheduled to work. Now that you San Antonians have proven yourselves unwilling to go to a WCF game on a weekend, is it time to call in the reserves?
What kind of advertising have you seen in the past when the Spurs were in the WCF, since we are talking about the Spurs in the WCF?
I really want to know what the Spurs did to make people go last time that they didn't do this time.
The kind of advertising they had in the past is irrelevant because they obviously need to do something now. If something sells in the past you don't just throw up your hands and say oh well when it doesn't sell in the present, you find a way to sell it or you don't make any money. Its that simple.
Two years ago it was our in state rival. This year it's the Jazz with Boozer and Okur. Spurs don't like the match up and don't want to pay to see it live when they can watch it for free and Spurs fans rightfully so or not believe the Spurs are on cruise control to the finals when we will likely face the Pistons.
But with that said, it was one game, not two or three or the series. One game in 5 seasons of playoff basketball didn't sell out. It'll be ok.
What? Did they anticipate not selling out well in advance of Sunday in time to buy tv spots during May sweeps?The kind of advertising they had in the past is irrelevant because they obviously need to do something now.
Is the paper and the website not a good way to get the news out?
DING DING DING!Frankly, I think people just don't care about the Jazz.
People didn't care about the Jazz, after coming off a big emotional series, at 2:30 on a Sunday afternoon.
I don't think an advertising needs to be done, not now, it's too late and this series will be over soon anyways. However, the Spurs PR department is one of the worst in the US and needs to be overhauled.
Well, spurfans can watch on TV when they play in Anaheim too.
If they don't get the money from you, they'll get it somewhere else.
I completely agree that going to the ATT is a big asspain and it should have been downtown, but damn.
Compared to whom, all the other NBA PR departments whose local ad campaigns you've witnessed?
The fact that we're going on year 8 of the same catch phrase.
The fact that not once has there ever been a promotion where t-shirts are given out to the fans to color out an arena.
The local commercials for the team are few and far between and basically suck.
I can go on.
And I said one of the worst not the worst but one.
Please do go on.
??
The catch phrase changes every year.
Go Spurs Go?
The motto changes every year not the catch phrase.
Go Spurs Go is just a chant, it's not a catch phrase. The Spurs barely even promote Go Spurs Go.
Get Ready. Get Loud. is this year's catch phrase.
Barely? They have the huge ass banner in the arena.
The music for the local telecasts have Go Spurs Go.
When the Spurs have the ball the music is played to have the crowd chant Go Spurs GO.
That's a motto. Just like One Team. One Goal.Get Ready. Get Loud. is this year's catch phrase.
I hope you are right it would be over soon.
I really don't want the Spurs to face Utah 1-1 in game 3. We lost twice @ Energy Solutions this yr and Utah has an impressive 6-0 homecourt record in this playoffs.
Scary.
Game 2(tonight), is a must-win for the Spurs. We don't want to end this series in 6 or 7 games like like yr we faced Dallas in just how many hrs later(?), after game 6 Spurs exhausted eventually losing the series.
2-0 Spurs!
i hope to see the AT&T full packed tonight.
No. It's the catch phrase.
Go Spurs Go is just a fan chant. They have the fans chant it once (or sometimes twice) a game. And a couple banners.
Get Ready. Get Loud. is this year's catch phrase. It's printed every where - t-shirts, posters, banners, everywhere.
The catch phrase changes every year. Fan chants don't usually change in the lifetime of a franchise.
Whatever you want to call it. Get back to how the PR department hasn't done anything in eight years.
I guess I need to know which is which:
Catchphrase = ?
Slogan = ?
Motto = ?
Cheer = ?
Chant = ?
Official Tree = ?
It's a catch phrase that is used as a chant during a game. However it is used as a catch phrase outside the game when its put on posters or flags, shirts, etc.
The basic definition for what a catch phrase is tells you Go Spurs Go is a catch phrase.
Yes, not change the catch phrase of this team.Whatever you want to call it. Get back to how the PR department hasn't done anything in eight years.
Could you define the other ones for me.
Thanks.
So you think if they put up a new banner, Spurs fans will stop chanting Go Spurs Go.
Suns fans haven't stopped chanting Go Suns Go since I was a kid.
Thanks. My MBA in Business Marketing didn't teach me anything. So I'm glad you are here to educate.
