Exactly. When Mike Illitch (Detroit Tigers/RedWings) built Comerica Park (2000 or so), he sent an army through the neighborhoods selling sheets of discount tickets/pizza et ... something like $20 for $200 worth of savings on games/refreshments ... and they were good seats too,  ... me & my kids went to a lot of ball games that season ... built a lot of good will, gave back to the fans & he still made his bank ... stuff like that is why I compare him to Benson when you guys talk about the good stuff Tom does for New Orleans, you can tell when an owner likes the fans,  .
