Slowly but surely we're building. But damn man, constant winning and we're still 7,000 short of selling out.

[Cringer]

My big question from this is what the hell did Argot do to get his ticket sales to drop so much? Double the prices?

[sovstar]

dude, that banner rocks!

[Suicane]

HONK HONK!!!!

[Cringer]

:lol:

thanks for the banner guys.

Dayummm, did the floods send everyone into a lower income bracket?

[Cringer]

BTW, are those big boobies on each side of my face?

[Suicane]

You're being smothered!

BTW, what gave me the idea o do this was Jave's constant bitching about how his season ticket sales didn't jump enough for him this year. He had the 3rd highest single season jump in league history this year. The two teams who had higher jumps were both Imperial Bowl winners.

I think Oaklands season ticket sales increase is realistic in a way, since one winning season is not going to get everyone on the bandwagon right away.

[Suicane]

Especially if you start out low. I think that has alot to do with it. Teams don't jump from 30,000 to 70,000 in a year, it takes a long time to build up your base.

[Argot]

Raised ticket prices SIGNIFICANTLY. We were close to selling out every game, but we had the cheapest seats in the IFL. With Chicago practically begging for a team, we wanted to see if Dakota fans would put their money where their mouth is. Even selling out we continued to fall deeper into debt. The writing seems to be on the wall that Fargo can't support an IFL team under these conditions. On behalf of the great people of Dakota, we are urging the commissioner to intervene now in order to keep our teams from all moving to the big cities (Columbia to Atlanta, Albequerque to Los Angeles, etc.)

I thought Rumor mill did it :scratchhead:

[Kobeck]

excellent work Imperial Sports Page guy - whoever you are

Mules dropped prices down to third lowest I think. Hopefully can get to .500 at home and build from there.
