New ASB Stamp Card Hopes to Attract Viewers to Varsity Home Games

Over the past few years, attendance at varsity home games has decreased significantly. In January, ASB introduced a new method of attracting students to home games: the AHS Sports Rewards Card.

The card is just like any other stamp card picked up at local places such as Avalanche and Tea Barrel. The perks that come with this card are targeted to encourage Moor pride among students of all grades on school grounds.

“We […] feel that students need an incentive to help boost Moor pride, and this card helps the students be drawn to attend games,” ASB Director of Athletics Ricky Martinez said.

The card enables the holder to receive a free reward from the Moor Market after attending six varsity home games. The reward varies every once in a while, based on availability. The card must be stamped twice at any home game, once within the first 15 minutes of the game and the second time during the last 15 minutes of the game. The card is also only valid during one of the three sporting seasons: fall, winter and spring, and cannot be used during a different season.

“I think that [the card] does help people go to games more; however, I think that even more people would attend the games if they were to lower the entrance price for a varsity game. But it is really cool that they can get an school spirit item for free,” varsity basketball player Matthew Aguilar said.

The stamp card can be picked up at the table near the entrance of any varsity home game.
