Yup and yup. We would be very lucky to break 30k actual butts in the new blue pews for ohio. I would think we all know better than to think otherwise. Ohio doesnt move any needle for casuals, Fran effect aside, not on state fair weekend and labor day. No way.
I would love to be wrong, I just dont see it. Maybe Fran and the new seats make it enough of an 'event' to draw in a few more. Fingers crossed
Well, they should be standing anyway.
It will be interesting. Fran and ERob are going to want full houses to sell 4 star recruits visiting but they are going to need to collect some wins early to get those sellouts. Here's to hoping it works out for fans and staff the way we want.
According to the link it's one word. Just sayin'.
^^^^^this is beyond true. I just do not understand why anyone here, who knows the local fan base, and who represent the die hard crowd who does show up week in and out, would so much as bat an eye that we will have maybe 30k actual butts in the seats for Ohio.
100% true. People just want to support a winner. I had a good friend who had season tix dump them 2 years ago, said he is just tired going to games at the Dome to watch them lose. This is "ENTERTAINMENT" and people want to smile and laugh and have fun.
I also know quite a few folks who weren't pleased with the seating process and dropped and won't be back in the building. I know people here think differently but a number of attendees don't think the school appreciates them, and is moving on.
I think a lot of folks like to look for reasons to complain. It's very much a CNY attitude.
"Quite a few"... I get it, people like to sound like they are connected. But in reality, you probably know 2 or 3 groups who decided not to renew. That doesn't mean the sky is falling. And chances are they probably were not going to renew anyway and just had a convenient "out".
yeah I have a ton of juice and definitely think I'm connected. You are totally right every person in the Syracuse loves the football program and thinks the University is aces.
This is wonderful satire from a poster with your history.
Really hate to read this. I hope those attendees find their way back. I spoke with others that were disappointed with having to relocate but grateful to still be season ticket holders. I do understand how some would feel unappreciated.
He viewed it as two basically .500 seasons so he missed nothing. Not everyone thinks alike it is all perspective and I think more fans think like my friend than some on here want to believe
