1. How many minor league baseball games have you attended in the past 3 years? 20-25

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) I just enjoy baseball and it is a fun, cheap night out.

3. Have you stopped attending games? If so, why? No.

4. What promotion or marketing event would you recommend to the team? Nothing to suggest. Both of the minor league franchises I support are already very good with promotions.

5. How important is the newness of the stadium in your decision to attend a ball game? Not real important, although it is kinda cool to take in games at a state-of-the-art minor league stadium like Coca-Cola Park in Allentown, Pa.

6. How far will you travel to attend a minor league baseball game? The Reading (Pa.) Phillies are 10 miles from my house and the Lehigh Valley (Pa.) Ironpigs are 40 miles from me. I would be willing to travel further than than, but have never done so for a minor league baseball game.

7. Do you buy team branded merchandise? Yes.

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? Two.

10. How much of a factor does parking and ticket prices have on your decision to attend the games? Somewhat. I am also a minor league hockey fan and a fan of local auto racing. I like the fact that I can go to a game in Reading or Lehigh Valley for $10, with parking being free at Reading and $3 at Lehigh Valley.
