OK - I Listened - Back to the Old Policy

Monday, April 21st, 2008

Caps and Flyers fans will be allowed to mingle down by the glass  for Game 7. We will go back to the  old policy. I am hopeful that we won’t have any security issues for our fans that sit in this area and that everyone will be behaved and well-mannered.

 Thanks for the input. More people asked to keep the old policy than wanted a new policy put in place. Democracy works!

Silly

I agree that Google may be the #1 global brand. It has more customers outside of the US than within it and every time someone types in Google.com - and has a positive experience - the brand is reinforced.

I don’t agree at all that General Electric is the #2 global brand. Have you ever heard someone say, “I want one of those General Electric light bulbs?” or how about “Boy, am I happy knowing that my electricity is being powered by a GE turbine!” or “Thankfully this plane is riding on GE jet engines!” GE is a holding company, it isn’t a brand.

I do believe that Disney is a brand of great value as is Apple and Nike. And my sleeper great brand of value? Sundance.

Very Funny

As I have said, our fans may not use as much profanity as theirs but our bloggers are certainly funnier than their bloggers!

Don’t Have Much to Say Today

I believe the team is ready. It is confident. It wants to come back home and play a Game 7 in front of our great fans. Wish us luck. Go Caps and THANK YOU!

Good to Know We Aren’t Alone

This is funny. The Phillies’ ballpark is right across the street from Wachovia Center. At least the fans are consistent in their attitude to competitors.
