I ask that you please answer the following questions.

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

Around 40

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 love baseball

3. Have you stopped attending games? If so, why?

Nope, I still go when I can.

4. What promotion or marketing event would you recommend to the team?

I have recommended to the team many times to have an old timers game, honor Dick Stuart for his 66 home run season, hand out photos of some of the all time greats who played for Lincoln, etc... They have ignored me.

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?

I won't...I have a ballpark in my hometown.

7. Do you buy team branded merchandise?

Yep.

8. Does the success of the team factor in your decision to attend games?

No, although it has been a lot more fun in the years we are winning.

9. How many different minor league ballparks have you visited in the past 5 years?

One.

10. How much of a factor does parking and ticket prices have on your decision to attend the games?

Tickets are cheap and parking is free. I doubt I'd go to as many games if it cost me to park and the ticket prices were higher.
