What a great turnout by Griz fans. Really filling out the stands behind the bench. I'm a bit surprised. Don't usually get that kind of support on the road. Though there are a lot of Griz grads in the Portland area.
We've started a new UM alumni group here in Portland. PDX Griz Alumni. We were able to get a block of discounted tickets behind the Griz bench. We used the alumni database to email all local alumni and marketed the game on Facebook and LinkedIn to reach as many people as possible. I think we had a really good turnout. It's nice to know our efforts are being noticed! It was great to give them a standing ovation on the road. It's just how Griz Nation rolls!
