“I can’t wait to hear the roar of a home crowd again. I need that vacation from reality, a momentary escape, in a shared moment with a friend or family member ” On this episode of Fired Up, Bob, Dave and Don, three sports fans share their love of sports, when and how that love began, how the past year has changed their outlook on attending live sports, how they feel front office staff responded to the disruption and their hope for the future. All three were introduced to sports at a young age by their fathers. We were introduced to Bob by the Indianapolis Indians. He is a fan of multiple sports including the Indianapolis Indians, Indy racing, the LA Dodgers and the UCLA Bruins. Don came to us by way of NASCAR and Bristol Motor Speedway. He is a fan of NASCAR and collegiate athletics (he is a professor at a mid-major university). Thanks to the Minnesota Vikings, we met Dave. A huge Vikings and Twins fan also enjoys golf. Hear about their fan journey and how their sports life has been changed over the past year. But rest assured, nothing has changed their love of sports and their emotional need for live sports. Emotions that just can’t be wiped away.

“Jeff Vinik has mastered the ability of a sports team in a community to have a great organic partnership. He has given so much to this community over the years that it's almost like people's civic duty to give back. And we've been the benefactor of that. ” On this episode of Fired Up, Matt Hill, Vice-President of Premium Seating and Group Sales for Vinik Sports Group, talks about great ownership with a sincere commitment to the players, staff and most importantly – the community. Having grown up in the East coast of Canada, he dreamed of the NHL from the player perspective. He grew up in a rink and played the game for a number of years. It afforded him some opportunities for college and a little bit of a minor pro hockey after that. But quickly realized it was not going to pay the bills long enough and needed to go up and get on with real life. Matt coached for a while at the university where he played and was also running a little player development program for some local youth. He was still involved in the game, but wanted more, he wanted the NHL. Matt’s good friend, Brad Richards, who was playing for the Lightning talk with Matt. It was through that conversation that the front office became his calling. Still involved with the sport he loves and as competitive as ever as part of a winning team. ***IGNITE FAN INSIGHTS*** www.ignitefaninsights.com Ignite Fan Insights observes fans from key sports, their behavior, and their loyalty to the sports they follow.
