Securing school groups to perform the National Anthem in minor league sports is nothing new; but when I was first hired by the Admirals as a sales rep, we only hosted a handful of schools each season. I saw a huge untapped market and an opportunity not only to earn commission, but a way to build fans at the grass-roots level as well. Fast forward a few years and the Admirals' "School Spirit Night" program has turned into a revenue generation and fan creation machine. Last season we hosted a school spirit night at 22 out of 25 Friday and Saturday games. This program is a win-win-win. The school can add a fun family event to their school calendar at no-cost, and in many cases, makes a profit through fundraising. The students gets to hang out with their classmates outside of school, and perform in front of thousands of people, creating a lifelong memory. The team fills seats and creates fans for life. I've found the majority of students that get to perform have never been to a hockey game before, and I've been told by teachers it’s the #1 requested event by returning students every fall. This season we aim to host 1-2 school spirit nights at every game; and here in early July we are nearly 50% of the way there! #Fansforlife #Groupsales #Gameops #Memorycreation #Schools #Events #Fevo #Fundraising #Schoolspirit

Oklahoma State football players will have QR codes on their helmets this season that link to a general NIL team fund for every player on the roster 🏈 This is super innovative for sports in general. In recent years we’ve seen the NBA introduce branded patches on jerseys, but this is a whole new way to monetize through player gear. NIL stands for name, image, and likeness. In 2021 the NCAA ruled that student athletes could profit off their own name, image, and likeness. Since then, major college athletic programs have started NIL collective funds to allow student athletes to make money for endorsements, marketing appearances, etc. The QR code Oklahoma State is using will link directly to a team fund where anyone can donate money to their NIL fund. Essentially sending money directly to players on the field. The QR code will only be visible on TV broadcasts and photos. QR codes will also be on coasters in the premium areas of the stadium and signage throughout the stadium. It’s incredible to see how much NIL is changing college football and how mainstream QR codes have become. Ten years ago, QR codes were a fading fad. But thanks to pandemic-era QR code menus, everyone has learned how to use them and they’re a great way to quickly get people to a landing page. Change is inevitable. #marketing #sportsmarketing #collegefootball
