I think so too and it seems Amar Doman knows these groups he pursues personally.Belize City Lion wrote: ↑Sun Jun 04, 2023 3:47 pmLL Cool J is actually a great pick. He’s not an artist that a lot of people in Vancouver would rush to see, but as an opening act for the home-opener he ticks a lot of boxes. He’s got big name recognition, he will be a great hype man for the Lions, and with only a short set list a lot of people will recognize his biggest hits. LL will be excellent “added value” that will make the home opener an EVENT (Vancouver is an event town) but he won’t overshadow the main event of the night. Nobody will be going to the game only to see LL Cool J and that’s important. It would be too easy to sell out the stadium by having Taylor Swift sing a few songs, but then what happens when a football game begins? I think a lot of people who would normally not attend an LL Cool J concert OR a BC LIons game will come away with positive experience with both.
The other night as NCIS was starting as I walked into the family room I asked my wife as LL Cool J's name came on the screen if she knew who he was. Yes, she did which kind of surprised me.
However, how that connects to ticket sales is a mystery to me.
Z-Trip can rock a crowd so this should be a fun introduction to the first game.
