    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.

  • 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.

    buy the brats a bottled water, cheapskate

  • 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.

    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.

    Well, after reading this and other related threads about "improving the game-day experience", I have come

    to the sad conclusion that at some unknown point I have officially become an old fart; unhip, uncool, and

    grouchy as hell.

    I have Wi-Fi at home. If I'm at the stadium, I don't plan on having my face buried in a smart phone, obsessively

    checking my emails, my fantasy updates, updating my facebook status, tweeting whatever random thought that

    happens to be walking through my mind at the moment or any other such idiocy. BTW, recently saw Tom Petty--

    I look around and there are people everywhere talking on their phones. Who the hell are you people talking to?

    And how the hell can you hear them over the heavily amplified music?

    My point is that when I pay ridiculous money to see a concert or a game, along with paying $20 to blood-sucking thieves

    to park my fucking car, I'm there to watch the event. Improving the video screens is acceptable. If I'm at a game, my wife and friends

    know beyond all doubt that if their phones ring, it most definitely will not be me. I'm there for one reason--to see an aggressive

    Browns team kick hell out of somebody. If you need Wi-Fi and a warm seat in order to enjoy a football game you should probably

    stay home and watch from your living room.

    End of rant. Thank you.

    P.S. I'm fine with slutty cheerleaders. Preferably of 'The Replacements' ilk. Wiener dogs are O.K., too.

  • 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.

    How if you were a "marketing professional" not see the point of the Twitter poll? I mean hell you answered your own question.. All these activities appealed to young kids through young adults. This whole marketing effort is to get families to games, obviously. No grown man would care about pyro works or dogs. Twitter is just as good as anything else anymore to get demographic information.

    Who would ever want to buy and drink Budweiser beer anyway? At the tailgate you can bring some decent microbrew beer, like your Great Lakes or Hoppin' Frog. Or Guinness. Or if you don't tailgate, go to the Hard Rock for the brunch before the game....all you can eat for about the price of two stadium hot dogs. If you get hungry during the game then you didn't eat enough at the brunch.

    I don't know why they would cater to bringing families to games.....or, actually, I do. If you bring your snot nosed brats, they will want you to buy them hot dogs, pop, souvenirs etc. etc. If just an adult male goes to a game they are far more likely to be like me: they will do their eating and drinking before the game at a tailgate. They ain't gonna buy no souvenirs because they will have already bought their gear at a far more discounted price than they sell them at in the stadium.

    Men will spend money on their wives and kids that they won't spend on themselves. That is why I never brought my wife and kids (that and my wife hates football, my son doesn't care for team sports...he is into hiking and kayaking etc. My daughter might like it, but not enough to spend a day with her old man).

    We simply disagree. I think it is horrile the way some fans act. This is America. You can root for any team you wish. These people come to YOUR town to spend money.

    Quit acting like assholes is my attitude.

    You are a friend.....but saying we should promote a hostile enviornment towards other fans goes againt my grain.

    It's not their fault our team usually sucks and they are walking away happy and we aren't.

    If I owned the Browns I would pay undercover cops to walk around in the opposing teams jersey. If assulted, you understand what happens next....the asshole is thrown in the clink and faces a trial date. Walk them through the Muni lot...around the grounds of the stadium before and after games.

    Soon enough, the idiots won't know if it is a fan they can outnumber or a cop they just tossed a beer towards.

    FUCK THEM is my attitude.
