OT: Hard Hat Awards and Fan Involvement

First time posting my own thread topic so forgive me if this is a little all over the place.

I saw the video about the Hard Hat awards for Spring football and had an idea for something I thought would be pretty interesting. I know that they do the Orange and Maroon Memories things and they have some cool experiences within that. But what if they created a "challenge" for the fan base that allowed for the hard hat awards to be earned by fans.

This is just a very preliminary thought but they could have standards based on age, gender, weight, etc. to earn the hard hat. Then you have the ever important idea that you would generate interest in the fan base because only certain fans would have earned them which would hopefully translate into more fans participating the following year to attempt to earn one. And possibly make it to where the top achieving fan would get to workout in the weight room with Hilgart?

I think it's an easy and relatively inexpensive way to get the fan base involvement increased somewhat and generate some excitement. I know a common topic on here is fan involvement and access and I agree I wish it was more and I'm always trying to think of ways they could do it. This idea seemed the most solid that I had developed so far, but I think this is an opportunity to interact with the fan base at another level.

Beyond that you have a segment of the fan base that would do whatever it took to earn it (me included) to have a kind of "collectors item".

Just a thought and I look forward to hearing any opinions (whether positive or negative) on this or other ideas we all may have.
