Sea of red

Tell them to mention the Sea of Red in Friday's edition of the paper so that the townie side will know.

This is the e-mail I sent to Sue Detzer:

[q]Ms. Detzer, my name is Will and I am an avid Cornell hockey fan.  I
am currently trying to get in contact with as many hockey fans and season
ticketholders as possible.  A few of us at the ELynah Forum are attempting
to get as many people as possible to "red out" Lynah for this weekend's
games against Clarkson.  In other words, we would like every Cornell fan
to wear red to the games to show our support for the team.  I was
wondering if it would be possible to e-mail the entire CHA and/or the
student season ticketholders to get the word out.  Someone recommended
that I e-mail you to that end.  Can you help me?[/q]

And the response I got:

[q]Hi Will,

I am forwarding your e-mail to Sonja Kelly (CHA President), Jeff Hall
(Sports Marketing), Gene Nighman (Ticket Office) and Eric Lawrence (Sports
Communications).  I'm sure if any of them can spread the word, they will do so.

It's a great idea.  Have you also thought about asking someone from The
Cornell Daily Sun to put something in the paper?

Sue[/q]

So, who's working on something for the Sun?

Will thanks for doing that. It would be really cool to see that happen. Another idea is to call the radio station the brodcast's all the games and tell them to put an add out. Hopefully this will work. Its not the college students im worried about its the townies. I know we can get the word around on campus its just we need to figure out a way to get the news to the townies.

Call it a "red-out" if you like, but there is only one "Sea of Red" in the sporting world (i.e. a certain football stadium in Nebraska), just like there is only one place that can be called the Friendly Confines (a stadium on the north side of Chicago).

call it the "C of Red" as in C for Cornell

here's an idea... anyways we could get it anounced at the game on friday? that way it would be even better on saturday.

 How come Cornell gives red shirts to the "RED ZONE" at basketball games, but nothing to the hockey fans?  [/q]

Because they wanted students to show up to the basketball games...and it worked!

[q]Because they wanted students to show up to the basketball games...and it worked![/q]There's little reason to do much in the way of promotion for hockey games, because they're going to sell all of the tickets and have a mostly full house anyway.  Now, if you can do something for free (publicity to get people to wear red) then that's a different story.

Good idea DPperk29. But we still really need to work on getting the word out for friday.

someone send a message to the Lynah Faithful group on thefacebook!

[Mike]

I just put a request into the ithaca journal asking them to put something about this in their paper on friday. Id rccomend you guys do the same so they see its in high request. To do it go to IthacaJournal.com then go to customer service at the top then scroll down and find the place where it says you can write to them.

Done.

[Dpperk29]

how would we go about getting that done? I agree that working on friday is very important, but I think we need to make sure that saturday is reder than an apple... gotta give those pansy techies something to have nightmares over till next year!

The facebook group message isn't very attention grabbing, we need capital letters and exclamation points man!
