Forbes recently published an article called “10 Things Our Kids Will Never Worry About Thanks to the Information Revolution”.  The funny thing about the article is that even though all of the stuff mentioned seems extremely out-of-date, ironically, there are a lot of people who are still doing it.

Here’s a list of the ten things:

1.) Taking a typing class

2.) Paying bills by writing countless checks

3.) Buying an expensive set of encyclopedias

4.) Using a payphone or racking up a big “long-distance” bill

5.) Having to pay someone else to develop photographs

6.) Driving to a store to rent a movie

7.) Buying / storing music, movies, or games on physical media

8.) Having to endlessly search to find unique content

9.) Sending letters

10.) Being without the Internet & instant, ubiquitous connectivity

We at StadiumRoar found #2 above the most interesting; “Paying bills by writing countless checks”.  In today’s day-and-age, it continues to surprise us when sports groups are still using old-fashioned forms and checks to conduct program registration.  If you run a sports program, make sure you have online registration and online payment in place.  If you’re a participant in a program, and are sick of paying with checks, then talk to your program’s registration manager.  Chances are, program managers haven’t made the switch to online registration because in the past, online registration software was always very expensive.  Not anymore.  We at StadiumRoar offer 100% free online sports registration software.

Bottom line: put away your VHS tapes and checks, and step into the new age of sports.  We’re here to help.

Going Green = Saving Time, Headaches and the Environment

We at StadiumRoar are huge proponents of sports programs going green.  Every year, more and more people play sports, and it is more and more important for us to step away from wasteful habits from last generation like paper registration and paper payments.  Nowadays, you can take advantage of free online sports registration software, save yourself a ton of time and headaches, and save the environment a ton of damage.

Check out some of these mind-boggling facts about paper payments provided by the people at PayItGreen…

The average household receives approximately 19 bills and statements and makes approximately 7 payments in paper form per month.

By switching to electronic bills, statements, and payments, every year the average household would:

Save 6.6 pounds of paper

Avoid producing 171 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions.

Saving this amount of greenhouse gas emissions is the equivalent of:

The emissions avoided by not driving 169 miles

The emissions avoided by not consuming 8.8 gallons of gasoline

Planting 2 tree seedlings and allowing them to grow for 10 years

Preserving 24 square feet of forestland

Avoid releasing 63 gallons of wastewater into the environment

Avoid using 4.5 gallons of gasoline to mail bills, statements, and payments

If 1 in 5 households switch to electronic bills, statements, and payments, every year the collective impact would:

Save 150,939,615 pounds of paper

Save 1,811,275 trees

Avoid producing 3,920,802,916 pounds (1,960,402 tons) of greenhouse gas emissions

Saving this amount of greenhouse gas emissions is the equivalent of:

The emissions avoided by not driving 3,861,769,517 miles

Taking 325,722 cars off the road

The emissions avoided by not consuming 200 million gallons of gasoline

Planting 45.6 million tree seedlings and allowing them to grow for 10 years

Preserving 12,405 acres of forestland

Avoid creating 1,439,601,370 gallons of wastewater

Avoid creating enough wastewater to fill 2,180 Olympic-size swimming pools

Avoid filling 8,597,328 household garbage bags with trash

Avoid filling 6,141 garbage trucks with trash

Avoid using 102,945,600 gallons of gasoline to mail payments
