As far as this or the karaoke or Monte movies, it's all about money. Each one of those is sold to a sponsor and helps improve the bottom line at the game. You'll notice that the really big programs, with lots of donors or bowl games, etc. have very little advertising or video board nonsense. We sell every second of the game to someone. Marketing is in control of the content and Grizzly Sports Properties handle a large chunk of the selling of time, PA's or video real estate. Do you remember when the "red zone" was sold to a sponsor and every time a team was inside the 20 we had to hear about some business? I'm glad that went away. I was afraid that every yardline on the field would end up sponsored. Can you imagine Peter Christian trying to announce the game with every yardline having a sponsor?? I've often wondered if you could charge an extra buck per ticket on the promise that the never-ending marketing would go away.
