I live in New Jersey and I think it is a TERRIBLE move. Don't mean to sound like a broken record but losing 45-10 vs. USC at MetLife Stadium does nothing for Syracuse.  Dollar signs are great in the short run, but not in the long run.  The reported (on this board) $2 million that Cuse will receive from the MetLife people does not outweigh the negative publicity and embarrassment for the program (not to mention the alumni base in NYC metro area) if the game is a blow out.  You think Cuse fans who live/work in the NYC area are going to like going to work on Monday after a blowout?  I thought moving to the ACC was going to be a cash windfall for us, why whore ourselves out to MetLife???
 
It isn't a big deal in hoops because the hoops team IS established and successful.  The football team WAS established and successful but it isn't anymore.  Hoops is a hot ticket anywhere, football is not. 364 days a year the Syracuse football team plays/practices/works out in Syracuse, NY.  We need to rebuild the fan base up there before we worry about appeasing the 10-20k fans that will go to a game at MetLife.  At least if USC blows us out in the Dome, we would at least have the opportunity to showcase our fan support (I would hope we could get 45+ vs. USC) and recruits watching could get some idea what a packed Carrier Dome is like.
