There's a saying in my line of work: "What you win them with is what you keep them with."

You can't build a following of people who love the football team by putting on concerts every week.

This is a good season kickoff event (might even be a good annual thing to do with different artists) that can be used to garner attention locally for the program. I'd have ticket sales set up, I'd have Sam rallying the folks, urging them to attend, maybe even give away some luxury suite tickets, and other merch.

Definitely should have lots of people set up to sell tickets, both single game (Sept 2) and season tickets. Maybe have something set up to take donations also. Cash Jar and ability to take credit cards. People were great about throwing $2-5 in a jar at the 1st sons of uab game.. multiply that by % the number attending the concert and could generate a fair amount. (People might not want to spend for a ticket or a shirt but a few dollars is easy)
