I posted a month ago about my work on a Doctorate. My topic is currently minor league baseball. I'm hoping to get some information from fans.
I ask that you please answer the following questions.
1. How many minor league baseball games have you attended in the past 3 years?
6-7, plus 3 Cape Cod League games.
2. What is the biggest factor that brings you to the ballpark? promotions, day of week, newness of stadium, visiting team, or something else (please describe)
The quality of the play.
3. Have you stopped attending games? If so, why?
No.
4. What promotion or marketing event would you recommend to the team?
More promotions for local youth sports teams. Discounted tickets, private parties, etc. Also, renting out the park to youth sports teams during road trips.
5. How important is the newness of the stadium in your decision to attend a ball game?
Not at all.
6. How far will you travel to attend a minor league baseball game?
1 hour.
7. Do you buy team branded merchandise?
No.
8. Does the success of the team factor in your decision to attend games?
No.
9. How many different minor league ballparks have you visited in the past 5 years?
5, plus three Cape Cod League parks.
10. How much of a factor does parking and ticket prices have on your decision to attend the games?
Very little, though if it was as expensive as a major league game, we probably wouldn't be as motivated to go on a whim.
