If you follow Boston College winter sports, you know how sparse attendance is during the winter break. This is the time BC usually schedules such basketball powerhouses as Bryant, Sacred Heart, Rhode Island and cross town rival Harvard. If the game happens to be on television, the student section is usually no more than a dozen, and Conte usually has large sections completely empty. It's kind of embarrassing.
In order to try and combat this, BC Athletics and Marketing has gone with a proactive approach. As you can see above, there are a bunch of "special" deals to try and get Eagles' fans in the door. But here at BC Interruption we are always looking outside the box, and just because we love BC we have come up with some other promos they should consider during the winter break

Spaz and GDF Dunk Tank
If the offer included an opportunity to get a shot at dunking Spaz or DeFilippo in a tank of water – they would sell a ton of tickets. Here is where they can rent the necessary equipment: http://www.partyoutfitters.com/dunk_tank.htm

Christmas break superfans
Don’t think that the alumni season ticket holders are the only fans that the Athletic Department does a great job of alienating. Students who buy season tickets do not get tickets to the 15 games that they schedule during break. Therefore, there is no longer a student section during breaks and any students who are present are scattered to different areas of the stadium with friends/family wherever the get tickets. So if students want to go to every game, they pretty much need to buy two sets of season tickets
This is all just funny to me
The fact that I bought tickets to all of these games last month for $5, and I sit in the front row because nobody shows up, with my $5 ticket, and they need to think of other promotions to fill the place beyond $5 tickets. I’m getting the promo emails from Maryland at the same time I’m getting the ones from BC and the UMD ones say “buy a full-price upper deck ticket to Samford for $35 and get a discounted upper deck ticket to Radford for only $25!” And at Comcast Center, upper deck is a real upper deck, not like the upper level at Conte. BC fans should appreciate how easy it is to go to games here and take advantage. It’s the cheapest bball in the ACC
