When was the last blackout - Page 2

**Nzoner** · 12-11-2006, 10:03 AM

'88 or '89 maybe?

I know it's probably not a popular subject but I think it's looming ever closer as I don't see Carl pulling another season out of his ass no matter the draft picks or free agent signings etc.

There is no waiting list for tickets anymore and I don't think there's been one for the last couple of years.Granted,Carl has been a marketing genius but it's coming to an end unless he pulls a Saints and dramatically cuts tickets(right).

Personally,I know more than a few people(like myself last season)who have said that's it and unfortunately they also know the only way to affect change is to hit them in the pocketbook.

Thoughts?

I'm just curious? Does anyone know if Carl or even Lamar check out the planet at all? Do they read any of our posts? If they don't they should. Because if you start pissing off your fans then they'll leave. Then where will the team be with no revenue?

It would be amazing if everyone just bought a parking ticket and tailgated outside and then watched the game on a TV in the parking lot...

50,000 fans outside out cheering 30,000 inside would be a moment that I would want to be a part of !!!

We would want this to happen during a sellout however, just so the network would show King Carl on the TV looking like --- WTF is going on here ??

But then again -- it WOULD still be a sellout of tickets... This could be a good way to protest Carl "Pocket My Wallet" Peterson though...

The last blackout was 9/8/1991 in a game against the Saints that we lost 17-10.
