New TV Show needs help

[fftv]

Hello everyone! I have created and written a treatment for a new tv show about sports venues and the fun foods they serve. I am trying to make a good first impression with the PR dept. @ Gillette stadium so I can get some press passes where'd we like to shoot our first show.

Any suggestions?

Oh my...

Call the SID or the PR guy for the team. No reason to use journalists for this.

93... swing and a miss. That's not what he's asking. He just wants advice, which makes this a valid place for it. Sheesh.

Then give him some.

FFTV, like anything you do professionally, have a detailed explanation of what you are trying to do, where this material will go and what experience you have in the past doing TV production work when you ask for these passes.

You need to convince the PR staff that you are worthy of them opening their doors to you.

Honestly, I would have looked into minor league baseball teams first, but that window is closing now.

DIII, DII and I-AA football might not be a bad idea as well.

The Patriots do not need your show. They have all the PR they can get. The smaller venues that look for PR would probably be a better bet.

TELL THEM YOU AREN'T ASSOCIATED WITH ESPN! They just hammered the hell out of about every stadium. I don't think PR folk will take kindly to stories about ball park food.

93D thank you for your info. In the end, the show isnt about the Patriots. its about the food and how it correlates to the regional tastes and cultures of the american sports fan.

thanks for your time!

If that is the case, try looking at what high schools sell during their football games.

Or, look into what tailgaters are making in the parking lot.

This has been done before. I've seen shows on Food Network, Travel Channel, et al, that deal with the different delicacies at the ballpark, majors and minor leagues.

Hell, I wouldn't even focus on the States — not much variance to prop up any sort of lengthy show.
I'd focus on international venues: Stadium food at German soccer venues, Spanish bullfighting arenas, cricket matches in India... all sorts of interesting stuff there, I would think.

It has? Pray tell!

If the Patriots give you access, let me know and I'll walk to Foxboro on my hands.

Man, I was really hoping this was for the TV version of S#$% My dad Says. I got all excited when I saw this thread. But alas and alack.
