I just decided I like Mark Cuban

If your in Dallas, I suggest going to see a free NBA game.

What a cool idea.  On his twitter @markcuban, Mark Cuban just annouced the password for free Dallas Mavricks tickets to tonights pre-season game.  The password is "The Goods".  All he wants is fans to show up an hour early, get the place loud, and to enjoy themselves. 

Honestly an awesome idea and I respect it.  Mark Cuban has always been known as one of those owners that cares about his team and his fans over making a profit (Don't think he needs any more money, but still).  This helps get fans to the game, get the team excited, and its pre-season, its going to cost the guy almost nothing since they were tickets he wouldn't sell anyway.  It also helps gain twitter followers which can eventually help the fanhood.  Marketing genious, thats why he is worth billions. 

If only some college teams that know they won't sell out could follow this.  This could improve the fan base.  Think about the idea, at 12:00 for a 7pm game a school realizes they are not going to sell out their tickets.  They post an announcement giving a password for free tickets (or some sort of a deal).  This helps gain twitter followers (to update other aspects of the team(s) ) and get more fans at the game.  Social Media can help increase fan turnout and school spirit!  Think about it...
