I say they bring the Nets Stadium to Trenton. Smack in the middle of Jerz. That way we get less south jersey cats supporting the sixers and less north jersey cats supporting the Knicks. check out this article by Trey Kerby of yahoo.com
The New Jersey Nets are struggling. They have the league’s worst record at 6-53. Because of that, they’re last in attendance.
To combat this they’ve tried a few bizarre promotions over the years. First, they gave away tickets to unemployed workers, and also gave them career advice. Then, if you bought a 10-game ticket plan you got a jersey that featured not just a Net, but also an opposing player.
This Friday, the Nets will unleash another in their long line of minor league-esque promos:
Their latest promotion will be unveiled Friday, when the Nets play the Orlando Magic. New Jersey residents 18 or older who attend the game will get a coupon that they can redeem at a Roni Deutch Tax Center to get their state income tax done free.
No one likes doing their taxes, but is it worth having to go to a Nets game? At just a $29 value, I’m not so sure.
But you have to admire the gumption of Roni Deutch, the eponymous tax attorney offering the promotion. She says, “The hallmark of a strong company is one that aligns with young companies. I’m a betting woman, and I think the Nets are going to win a championship this decade.”
Probably not, but she’s not the first to make such a proclamation.
