was because they knew it felt like a home game or the tickets were so cheap.

look into what else promoting is and how it applies to the book.
Summary: The NFL has joined the conversations with the introduction
of Color Rush jerseys. Color rush is basically one colored jerseys with small
parts of another. For example, as I was writing this synopsis the Miami
Dolphins and Cincinnati Bengals were playing on Thursday night football. The
Dolphins had bright orange uniforms while the Bengals had all white jerseys.
This whole idea was to add a bigger feel to each game. To draw more
attraction to the game during the week. But really the NFL doesnt need to
add more of a feel to the games. Its the NFL the games will be watched No

during the week and more games just because how popular it is.

harder and harder. In the book, it mentions that accessing the internet and
making some competition against the Lighting, might draw some fans away
from that team and fans might follow the Panthers instead. Another option is
buying more than is wanted or needed at a lower price. The tickets could be

Maybe moving them back to Hartford, would draw attention to old fans and
might bring new ones in. Though they would be competing against the
Boston Bruins for fans. A nearby rival for the Bruins could help not only the
NHL but the Bruins, which sell their tickets just saying Boston Bruins. But you
could draw interest from newer sponsors like the Los Angeles Rams are with

We might not like them. But the only thing can do is, not alone it to affect us

happened will affect in a positive way making our lives better or for worse.
This change will only impact how players and how they feel about clothing
