It's no secret that with the current real estate market in many cities and rising unemployment rates that many homeowners are struggling to remain current on their mortgages. When folks are struggling financially, they often look for a brief "escape" from their day-to-day concerns by going to the movies or attending another local event. One professional sports organization has found a way to make escaping even more attractive to distressed homeowners!
The Jersey Jackals, who play at Yogi Berra Stadium on the campus of Montclair State University and are a part of the CanAm baseball league, have added to their roster of nightly events what they are calling "Mortgage Mondays". At one Monday home game in June, July and August, a drawing of the name of a game attendee will take place and the winner receives the cash equivalent of 2 mortgage (or rent) payments, up to $4,000.
What an "outside the box" idea to attract folks to the ballpark in a challenging economy!
Go Jackals!
