Cincinnati+Reds



Concepts: //**Interactive Quiz Game**// 1- Quiz game (modeled after College Football Hall of Fame from early 1980's near Kings Island) 2- Purpose 3- Costs
 * series of thin client PCs that are used by visitors (leaning towards youth) to answer a series of questions about Reds Hall of Fame questions (could also have baseball rules questions)
 * they get 3 outs
 * each correct answer is a hit/single
 * the 4th question would be harder and worth a grand slam
 * Example: Name the only Red to earn consecutive All Star honors from 1975 to 1982?
 * Johnny Bench, Dave Concepcion, George Foster, Ken Griffey
 * possible 8 runs
 * could play as themselves or as favorite Red (classic and current) just as a fun aspect
 * Upon completion of game they could go to print station and get printout which would be similar to ticket/certificate
 * When they start game they would have option of entering e-mail or cell number
 * collect marketing data through retrieving e-mails/cell numbers for advertising purposes
 * brand name recognition! These tickets/certificates would be of a high enough quality that kids would want to stick them on the refrigerator or their walls.
 * Encourages kids and players to know and learn Reds history
 * This reinforces Reds history and will lead to higher attendance at games and at Hall of Fame Museum (slight)
 * Makes FANS of quiz players
 * 15 to 20 thin clients
 * server with game database
 * speakers and sound system (when player gets grand slam we would here Marty say "It's out of here", if the yget all 8 runs "This one belongs to the Reds" etc.)
 * print station with retrieval system so no waste
 * questions can come from official media guides etc.
 * only 2 levels of questions (normal or grand slam)
 * 2 types of questions- Reds history or baseball rules
 * small space needed, 30 x 30 maybe? Near entrance to catch attention of passers-by?

//**Online worksheets available for teacher/home-school download**// 1- Creation of downloadable/printable worksheets that teachers and parents could use in their classrooms and homes 2- Could easily follow OH/KY/IN standards 3- Full of Reds logos and connections 4- Topics could be history, math even physics 5 - Multiple grade levels 6 Use Adobe PDF format so that they are static documents so the Reds logo stays 7- Submission of these resources to teacher or worksheet websites.
 * Purpose

//**Creation of Teacher Reds Hall of Fame Facilitators**// //** 1. Just another resource for teachers before they visit or just as a way to market the Reds. **// //** 2. These folks would go through summer or weekend training. **// 3. Costs would be in time and some materials or resources 4. Maybe shirts or some sort of recognition or even discounts 5. Once again, the concept is involvement or the making of better fan! Reinforces REDS!
