Message: [QUOTE="Chip, post: 948948, member: 19"] The big state schools would probably have a different definition of the term "local" as it applies to a non-alum. They wouldn't just look at the county where the school is. People come from all over the state to go to a Georgia or Tennessee or Penn State game. Not just alumni. The definition for local as it pertains to Syracuse should also include all the bordering counties. I don't know what that does to the population count, but they're basically all SU fans. Should be able to be enough to get us 45k for any ACC game or any decent out of conference game. But, as I said earlier, we need to be better. Winning 6-7 games looks awesome now because we lived thru the GRob years. In the 90s, 7 wins was a bad season. We're never going to draw for a FCS. Hoops team suffers from that too. When they open against early cupcakes, they're typically down anywhere from 10 to 15k from a the high water mark. [/QUOTE]
