Colorado Rockies Try Different PR Tactic
Dick Monfort, owner, President & CEO of the Colorado Rockies went off on a tangent the other day. He apparently decided to try a different sort of marketing strategy, telling a fan simply, “If product and experience that bad don’t come!” [LINK – original post on KREX-TV. More in video below] Public Relations may not be Mr. Monfort’s forte.
It’s certainly a unique approach from the owner of the last-place Rockies, whose fans have supported the team with solid attendance through thick & thin for years. Rockies’ home attendance has surpassed National League averages for the past 6 consecutive years and has fallen below 2 million only once [1995] in the 20+-year history of the club [LINK]. Time will tell if the remarks prove detrimental, but Colorado baseball fans have always supported their clubs, going way back to the Denver Bears’ minor league run [LINK]… And more commentary from the Mike & Mike Show of ESPN [LINK]:
