For those of you obsessed with attendance

[Ticket Guy]

So we never get to open at home? Like, ever?

Will that be in the recruiting pitch?

If they want to go head to head against the fair then people should not bitch that such small crowds show up to those games.

Maybe they can offer the recruits a free coupon for a gianelli sausage... or wait they are not there anymore.

The fair isn’t impacting attendance. The thing is two weeks long. Unless there is a can’t miss musical act at the same time, where is the conflict?

last three day summer weekend, weddings, and taking kids to school, those are the conflicts.

Su doesn’t make the ACC schedule.

Wow this guy with the double down

Wow this guy with the double down

With the double down on a conference game that clearly Syracuse and Dino aren’t happy about

Ding ding ding

If they want a home opener, do it at 7p on Thursday night, or week zero game

9 Things to do in CNY This Weekend

Thanks for nothing, Syracuse.com...no mention whatsoever of the game. But hey, I hear the "Piano Salon" in Ithaca is going to be absolutely electric!

What a shame. Syracuse.com is so bad

Has nothing to do with it at all. Do you see the trash that goes to the Fair recently? I don't think that's the Syracuse football demographic. If people cared about Syracuse football they would go.

Hey hey hey. I love the fair and go twice a year. Going again tomorrow. I love the food. Love the free music. Love the pig races.

I agree and the crowd that likes and enjoys the Fair are not the crowd I see at the Dome. Different audiences.

 

[Roger N]

At least there is an attempt to get more people in the dome. Should have 5 or 10 dollar tickets at fair . They did that before the Paulaus start against Minnesota and dumped a crap load. ( I think that was the game without any fact checking on my part )

Per SU box office there is no football tickets being sold at the fair

 

[GoSU96]

I don’t know about that, but if you are a person that likes both there is zero reason to not be able to do both.

I was a stupid assertion.

Death by Dome Dog or death by beer battered, deep fried, cheese and bacon stuffed hot dog on a pretzel bun.

I like the fair and so do my kids...we'll be at the game. Dumb post.

The Great NYS fair is straight trash

Haven't been in 30 years. Full disclosure I didn't live in CNY for about a decade of that time.

 

[Reyes39]

Some of you bombing on the NYS Fair calling it trashy and whatnot have a different idea of what a State Fair is than I do. What do you expect? Deep Fried Caviar and 20 year aged wine slushies?

Went to the fair last night and will be at the dome tomorrow night. And FYI there were lots of people wearing SU stuff.

 

[OrangeDW]

Pitt just got their biggest crowd ever(70K).

Amazing what having a pretty good team and a rival that you play can do.

We mostly haven’t been good and we rarely play any of our rivals to the point where most don’t consider them rivals anymore.

Weird, its like a lot of people that go to the fair live in Syracuse.

Great Crowd no doubt, Wonder what the Dome would get if we opened with PSU after winning the ACC championship the previous year. Have a feeling 49,000 seats wouldn’t be enough …. We may never know.

Not the same scenario, but that early season Clemson game in 2019 is an indicator.

Coming off a good season and playing a really good team that we’d had great games with the previous two years…..before the 2019 season people were losing their minds and thinking we were going to beat them and overtake them and win the league that year.

That’s all it would take - a good team playing perceived big games.

Wearing Su stuff doesn't mean attending games. The Fair is mostly a family event. Price points are totally different. Not to mention if you talk to Fair admins a good portion of the crowd is out of the 315 - though I find that hard to believe - but if everyone here thinks the Fair is killing our crowd, have at it.

Bingo.

Be a good team.

Play good opponents.

Profit.

I agree, The NYS Fair isn't impacting attendance. But, good lord! You might as well throw in; "there's a sale at Penney's" as well.

There's a sale at Penney's!

People are taking their kids to school on a Saturday night at 8 p.m.? Really? How many weeks have parents known in advance when school starts? Let alone that school starts 3 days later. That one takes the cake right there relative to lame excuses.

The fact of the matter is, people find the time to do the things that are important/matter to them. And, unlike us diehards, going to an SU football game, regardless if it's opening night, etc., isn't currently even on the radar for most folks/casuals. That is how insignificant the current state of Syracuse Football is in the general community.
