I understand sales, but I listen to stations on radio and tv give scores and don't even mention odu. You are not getting more fans unless you market more. There is no reason you can not fill a 20000 football stadium and 8600 basketball stadium around here. I think it can be done with more rivalries and our conference does not provide that for the most part, no one gets excited about playing UTEP or forth texas,but whether its odu marketing,scheduling or a little more local coverage in paper,radio, or tv it is crazy we don't do better. Putting winners on field would help too.

As for marketing, every graduate should get a car sticker and/or yard banner in addition to the ODU Alumni Pin (that I simply tossed in a drawer and ignore). Getting the shipyards to also fly ODU flags on the cranes would be a good marketing tool as well.
