Sounds familiar: Team playing better but attendance not improving. What do MLS and its teams have for marketing advisors? Reminds me of the statement a couple of weeks ago by a marketing expert that WUSA and its teams thought they were marketing to a certain demographic but the effort was way off target.
You ain't seen nothing yet. Go down the thread to the Metrostars Dog Show. I can't even think about that picture without cracking up - and it's my team.
OH GOD!!! STOP IT!!! YOU'RE GONNA MAKE ME PUKE FROM LAUGHING Damn, I really feel for you guys in NY. Note to self: suggest turkey call give away to Johnny for the first Quakes home game versus the Metros next season.
The dog pix is classic. My kids love a book called "Dogzilla." Looks like whoever created the pix above has the same book.
I'd seriously considering wear a turkey mask and my Metro jersey and blow one of those turkey calls. Gobble gobble! (My guess might be that Pathmark's marketing people came up with the turkey logo and then Metro slapped a jersey on it. FYI for fellow NorCals Pathmark's a supermarket chain.)
Holy crap! When I saw that picture of the "dogs in Giants Stadium," I thought for sure that some Metro or DC United fan was having some fun at the expense of the Metro marketing office. Can you say "farked?" I laughed and cried at the same time. Check out the photo gallery: http://www.metrostars.com/gameday/2003/mpf_pregame.htm#PHOTO Classic stuff.
As someone who has been in the marketing/advertising world for over 20 years... I am so... ashamed!... ...of my profession.
UGH! Why'd you do that?!! I can't look at that pic with Bruce!!! It's too scary! Is that his Halloween costume?!
