    It's not about you, Zombo.

    It's not about any of us.

    It's about the casual fan, not the diehard. This will bring more families and fans to the games and put more butts in the seats.

    Am I still allowed to comment even though it is not about me?

    Thanks for explaining that whole marketing angle ... I didn't get it when I read the article.

    I am a casual fan in this respect: I only go to a game once every few years (even though I attend the tailgates)

    A Weiner dog race WILL NOT entice me to go to a game.

    A few things that might help:

    A. Declare affirmatively that the Cleveland Browns name is in honor of Paul Brown and Jim Brown. Just tell the rest of the league that is the fact....and put some statues up for them outside the stadium. It won't help the game day experience....but it WILL in my opinion help the team's national image.

    B. Yes, do something about all the dead time during TV timeouts. I know want to put wi-fi available in the whole stadium. That would help for some, not me. I don't do Fantasy football or twitter or all that crap.

    C. Absolutely put in better scoreboards/videoboards. Yes, during those boring tv timeouts it would be good to see highlights from other ongoing NFL games. And, of course, better scoreboards would allow fans to have a better view of the replays of the Browns game.

    D. I agree that cheerleaders are not necessary....when the game is over if I want to see T&A I can go to the strip club down the street.

    E. The stadium will never charge a reasonable price for its food/beer, thus I will not buy it. Like I said, I will get my fill before the game. If I get really hungry I will sneak in a few candy bars.

    Finally....for all his hubris/eccentricity/malevolence, Al Davis had it right: Just Win Baby

    Perhaps to get a better track on things regarding this thread I should talk to a consultant:

    My daughter has advised me that she is seriously considering to declare her major in college to be: Sports Management and Marketing. They do offer this as a major at her school (Trinity Univ, San Antonio TX). I thought: Cool! Maybe I will give her a project this summer and have her follow up on this subject: What can make the game day experience at Browns games better.

    By the way....anyone with connections to get her an internship for like next summer would be appreciated.

    i like the idea of an all female drum line...as long as they don't wear unisex band pants. and they need to be fairly cute.

    growing up my folks owned 4 dashunds back to back, at least one was always around. awesome watchdogs, i love em.

    the race might actually be enough to entice us to attend that particular game if we weren't already--it would be a conversation at least...but that's just us.

    the rest is "meh".

    Can they Please, Please, PLEASE fix the water problem in the stadium.... Every year we go there, the kids want water and the crap comes out looking like watered down chocolate milk= nasty. Clean up the water supply and It'll make the kids happier.

    First off let's take issue with the fact that this moronic marketing guy is getting advice from Twitter???? Great hire Browns. As a marketing professional who started in research this just pisses me off! Anybody who knows anything about marketing research knows you do research using a representative sample. Twitter users do not mirror the population. They are younger and more likely NOT to be people who can afford to attend Browns games.

    I like that they are trying but they surely seem misguided in their efforts. The change in music for one is ridiculous as Cleveland is a rock n' roll town so all music played should be rock n' roll. If somebody wants pop, rap or some other kind of crap music cheer for the Bengals instead.

    A drum line? Really? Likely the all female drum line will not be hot or scantily clad so who cares.

    Pyrotechnics could be cool if they are used for scores and not just introductions.

    So HMMMM, Hot Chicks, Pyrotechnics, and new music it is obvious their sample is shit.

    I agree with others though with just WIN and that would be a good start.

    IDIOTS!

    I want some nice looking sluts in barely any clothing strutting around. Then I can take my viagra and pound my pud in the nice restrooms at First Energy.

    My Browns Stadium has plastic beer bottles, piss troughs and AC/DC.

    Alas, those are gone for good.

    Just scors TDs.

    That marketing plan works in 32 cities.

    If you score TDs, you can replace Archie Griffin's nephew with a door knob and you will fill every seat and sell loads of shit.

    It's the NFL. There's only 8 games. You don't need a marketing genius to fill seats like MLB, NBA etc. You need an exciting team.

    I am thinking they already hired a knob so they seem set there. My gameday experience has glass bottles for $3, AC/DC, Metallica, and any other awesome rock band, tons of TD's with accompanying explosions, fights on the field (but not in the stands), has great video boards and a kickass audio system, wi-fi service, better food, and even more touchdowns and explosions, oh and kids under 14 sit in a separate SAFE zone with their parents or guardians. And yes we won't get that either. so just score lots of TD's and win every game 52-0!

    The whole things sounds pretty lame. Screw all the pomp....just win games. If they can't do that, then march out the naked women to make people quit thinking about the loss.

    All I need is the stadium to switch to Hebrew National Hotdogs, add freakin ROOT BEER, dammit,

    and an anchovy option for pizza. And win games. Kick ass. That's all.

    Pretty much agree that the fluff doesn't really concern me at all. Definitely agree that the music should be tied to Cleveland and the scoreboards should be improved. Would also like to see attention paid to all of the past Browns greats throughout all of the concourses.

    Louisville lights off fireworks and shit after they score a TD. it's really cheesy during daylight hours. Night time pyro has a far greater effect

    Amen Z. Wins= fans in seats. I don't know what planet Griffin lives on, but the reason fans won't EVER come inside the Stadium to Tailgate is simple math. You can buy a six pack + of Bud at the local carry out for what they charge for one beer inside. Or buy a whole package of dogs at Giant Eagle for the price of one inside. The only way that would ever fly is if they took a page out of the Kansas City Tailgate model. Tell the season ticket holders- you can buy a "Tailgate Pass" along with your season ticket. Unlimited food & beer before the game- and DON'T make it $1000 either.

    BTW, you can still get a Bud- in an aluminum bottle no less- at Lucas Oil. Just tell the Refs not to make crap calls, and we promise not to throw them at you. Bottlegate was a long time ago.

    I was thinking the same thing. I generally don't like to drink plain tap water from anywhere. I like it to be flitered above and beyond what the water company provides.

    Actually, thats a pretty good idea Larry...the tailgate pass. They could do this on the north side patio and bar. It might not be unlimited...but shoot, I could see buying a pass they punch out allowing 2 dogs and 3 beers for say $10. They would make money on that. Run it from 11-12:30 to get people inside the stadium early.
