cannibalization.

less than 500,000 people in onondaga county.  143rd most populous county in the US.

how many games can people possibly go to in a year?  people choose to go to basketball games.  the team is awesome, it doesn't take forever and a day to get through a game, you're less scared of someone ending up dead or paralyzed, and you can always count on getting a ticket because the capacity is so great.

why in the world would we ever expect decent crowds against Wagner?  that game is competing against ACC basketball games.  if you have a limited budget of money and time and like both sports, entertainment value of SU basketball blows football out of the water

we can't expect the same people to go to all the games and the population isn't big enough to support two big time sports.  the wolves of wall st with no common sense or math skills like to pretend that a) syracuse is big and b) podunk state school stadiums are filled with locals

i think they should make a big push for rochester football fans who don't like the ralph because you're not cannibalizing as much - those fans aren't the ones going to every basketball game.  too hard to get to the weekday games in the winter after work.
