Pelicans Focus Group: Follow up included.

I am attending a Pelicans focus group tomorrow night at the facility on Airline. Should I deliver any messages for the PT?
Recap:
It was a meeting with two reps from the NBA and one from the Pelicans. As I had guessed, the meeting was mostly about attendance and why people weren't going to the games. There were some points of interest though:
-The NBA reps suggested a monthly "membership" where you could pay $30 or so and attend as many games as you wanted. (I like)
-One of the other attendees suggested a priority points system. That way attending Pelicans games could help you move up the wait list for Saints tickets.
-They liked the Flappers.
-They liked the jazz band, and lighting up the floor/ dimming the crowd.
-"Unofficially" there is a deal in the works with Zatarain's for sponsoring the Arena.
-"Unofficialy" Pierre is already undergoing a face lift.
-They opened the floor for NBA questions. All I could really think of was if any teams would be moving cities. She told me that after the whole Sacramento ordeal, the league is chilling out on that front. No plans for expansion either. (sorry Seattle)
-My reward: $50 am ex card and tickets to the Jazz game tomorrow!

I think that live bands playing transition music would be a really cool and very unique idea. I mean college's do it

The lack of merchandise anywhere but online and at the arena needs to be addressed. Nickname for the arena and dance team.

Yes. Forget meshing New Orleans jazz with basketball, supporting our local musicians, and breaking the mold / doing something completely awesome.
Let's just keep playing the opening strains of a 1984 John Cougar song.

Sponsorship for the arena. I'm still a little shocked that it isn't the Mercedes-Benz arena yet

Obviously that can't immediately be changed. I hope its discussed though

They aren't gonna have both places called the Mercedes-Benz….
You should ask about them getting a sponsorship for the arena. Tabasco would be a good one.
